You're looking for snes sprites right?

I'm was just wondering how do people make good sprites in paint.

Making good sprites in Paint is the same way you would make good sprites in any other program. Zoom in, grab a painting tool, and sprite away. That's why it takes a lot of practice.

If you're wondering about ripped sprites, however, that has been explained. People get the ROMs by basically hooking up their console to their computer. Once they have the ROMs, they use something called an Emulator (for older games at least--newer consoles would have their own special programs I would guess) to rip the sprites from them. An emulator reads the ROM just like the console would, meaning you can play those games on your computer (if it's a good enough emulator). Emulators usually give more options than the consoles, so you can rip sprites and sound and all that stuff.

And obviously not all of this is legal.

No, you're asking how to rip sprites directly. And that requires you to use illegal programs that we can't supply, but are sadly a necessity. Those sprites you linked are NOT made in Paint. They were taken directly out of the game.

Or if they were extremely patient they could look at the sprites and copy them as closely as they could using paint ;)

i do that...If i can get it off my old comp I can show you a Metroid1 sprite I got doing that.
(I can see small lines seperating pixels on my DS.)

Emulators are legal.

Having a ROM on your computer is legal.

Backing up a ROM to your computer from your console is legal.

Downloading a ROM from the Internet is illegal.

There's no such thing as downloading a ROM legally, according to Nintendo's license agreement.

Lawyers, judges, and anything that in general has to do with the law.

Yes, they probably do. But what if I'm not breaking any laws? There are legal roms.

its only illegal if they catch you..... :>_>:

lol, i for one support roms as they are now, which is that they mostly only let you play older games (not recent)

really, its just a nostalgic visit, not screwing nintendo out of money (rather than that, you are screwing ebay.....and i dont care about ebay....)
