Hey Everyone,
I've been asked by a friend to help them rip some graphics from a PS2 game so I've given it my best shot.
From what I can tell, the game stores images in non-discript *.BIN files concatinated together, which appears (to laymen eyes) to contain palette information + raw BMP data. I can see this because if I view the data using something like GIMP I can see the graphics (though they look corrupt).
Here is an example of what I mean:

As you can see, the raw BMP data can be seen for the first image, but the palette information is all wrong. To make matters more complicated, no matter what I do, I can't seem to unscramble the other images under it as they always come out jumbled regardless of any width I set for them. Maybe they are stored in a diffrent format? Even if I got these images to show up, I'm not even sure what a reliable way would be to seperate them since there doesn't appear to be any headers/footers for each image to cut with.
Here is the Sample file in question for those who think they might know more than me!
Any experienced people have any ideas?
