Alien Trilogy Sprites

[Davy Jones]

It's ok I've heard ripping from such platforms is an absolute nightmare

Depends on the game you rip. If you have large sprites + backgrounds with many colours, it's very hard to erase the palette. Tile Viewers like PSX-VRAM, PSicture & TileGGD can give you a jackpot (ready-made tilesets/sprites) or a nightmare (everything is distorted into smaller units) or make it impossible to rip anything from the RAM/Rom.
