Basically, I use solid mode and check the individual Color Attribute and Texture shading options, and then I use the previously mentioned Material Preview so I can get a good picture of the final render. I posted some images on
Imgur if you'd like to have a look.

Places to get help:
DYKG/VG Resource Discord - This is where most of the ripping experts on the VG Resource hang out these days, so you should probably start here. Any requests to rip stuff (i.e. "Please rip sounds/models/sprites from game X!") are only allowed here as per the rules.
ResHax forum - Another forum that is home to most of the reverse engineers who were on the old ZenHax and XenTax forums. A great place to get help for any mysterious files. I'm also there under the same username.
And remember, always upload example files. That way, people don't have to dig in and fetch them for you.
