Are there any experts on getting graphics out of psx games among the shriners here?
I’ve downloaded PSicture and TIMviewer, but both of them give me messed-up images (from an IMG file that displays the graphics correctly on an emulator).
Anyone else have experience with this problem? It’d be a shame if I couldn’t use the graphics in my shrine.
Most PSX games don’t store most of their images in anything like a normal file format. The easiest way is just to use an emulator and take screenshots.
Well, the applications I mentioned are designed just for PSX images, but they don’t seem to work terribly well (what do you want, it’s freeware!)
The screenshot route unfortunately requires a ton of fiddling in Photoshop, since most of the character portraits that I want are overlaid on a 3D background that makes clipping a real pain.
Oh well, I guess that’s what I’ll have to do!
There’s really no good way. I don’t know of any PSX emulators that you can disable separate sprite layers.
I know the applications are designed for PSX images - but only for images in a particular format. Most PSX images aren’t actually stored in that format, so they only work for a small number of games. So yeah… not much help here unfortunately.
