Many PS1 games use custom formats. It's possible you'll have to develop tools for this one specific game.

About screen ripping: don't use Ninja Ripper, use the 3d-screenshot feature of the Avocado emulator (link).

I click "Take 3D Screenshot" in Avocado when the model I want to save is on-screen. The console will say "Save screenshot to C:\..." but when I go to that folder, nothing is there. What am I doing wrong?
Dunno, works fine for me. Maybe make sure it's a folder you can actually write to. (Although it doesn't print the "Save screenshot to" message when I try saving somewhere I can't write to, so maybe that's not it).

I eventually could get it to save something but what it saved was not what was on screen. It was just a single triangle and the texture of what looked like concrete. For what it's worth, I'm trying this on the Toy Story 2 video game. I know it has ports for N64, Dreamcast, and PC, but if ripping from them is anything like ripping from PSX emulators, I need to have advanced to a point in the game where the model I want to capture is on-screen. The model I'm hoping to rip is Zurg's model, and you need to advance pretty far in the game to see him. I already had a complete save file for the PSX version which is why I want to try ripping from that version.
