No, ripped is when I use an emulator with a ROM, I know for a fact, that a working DS ROM/Emulator doesn't work, I hand-pixeled it to what I want it to look like.
Actually, the only one I ripped was Zelda, which already had a post, I just tweaked it, everything else was done customly or edited. And besides, the DS is from Wario Ware, so don't blame me.
