Maps/Screenshots

[Axxonn]

I posted this somewhere else, but I think it was the wrong place and people got the wrong idea of what I was trying to ask, so I'll ask it here. I was wondering how people got pictures like http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/ac/Gen4ViridianGym.png. I just wanted to know so I could get them too and put them on Bulbapedia.

I'm going to move this to the Bulbapedia forum. They'll know best how to answer this.

Ask the one who uploaded it via PM.

Actually, I think a better question would be how do people get any type of images from games (i.e. sprites, etc.)?

Through dumping the game's data onto the computer.

 

[Axxonn]

And may I ask how that is done?

I would also like to know. This would really help me out.

I'm guessing it's through an R4 or some other kind of device that connects it to your computer, but I want to know if I can do it with an emulator or something.

 

[Blazaking]

And may I ask how that is done?

It is done with a USB-like device that connects to the DS (from its charger port I think). You put in the USB into the computer, and viola, the data is dumped. Sprites are extracted this way.

For the maps, an AR code can be used to manipulate the camera angles so that you can get a full view of the area.

Oh...ok. Thanks!
