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.
