Raccoon Sam Said:
Pretty much the only way to rip maps with Sprites/Objects being at their EXACT positions is through a game editor or a level viewer utility (Stefan Mahrla and SMW hint hint). It doesn't take too much time and gives out excellent results.

In some games, the enemies don't move until they appear on screen, so you can figure out their starting positions just by when you first see them. But in games where they're doing things far away from the player character, yes, you'd need to do some hacking to know for sure.
