Usage

Syntax: saptapper {OPTIONS} romfile

Options

Argument	Description
-h, --help	Show this help message and exit
--inspect	Show the inspection result without saving files and quit
-f, --force	Save all songs including duplicated ones
-d[directory], --outdir=[directory]	The output directory (the default is the working directory)
-o[basename]	The output filename (without extension)
romfile	The ROM file to be processed

Note

Most of the games using the sappy driver are ripped completely and automatically with this program. The only manual step left, is sorting and optimizing the set.

If saptapper was unable to rip the game properly, but did find one of the sappy driver functions identifying it as being sappy compatible, an error will be written to STDERR, identifying what function it was not able to find.

Before submitting a gsf set that has been ripped, with or without saptapper, please at the minimum optimize the set first. Ideally, all sfxs/voices should be removed, all music/jingles kept.
