PC-98 Sprite ripping

[AFruitaday!]

I can't believe it has been TWO YEARS already! I have forgotten about it (SORRY!).

Thanks to AFruitaday, I'm able to run both PC98 Galpani. You'll need to use NekoProject 21/W:
https://simk98.github.io/np21w/download.html

First, go to "Harddisk -> IDE #2 -> Open..." and select the ISO file.
Then, go to "FDD1 -> Open..." and select the CD Floppy.

Like so:


And from there I can check stuff. For example, now I can know the 16 colors palette I have is actually starts from 84th slot, so it is actually 84th to 100th color of a 256 colors palette.

Also, there are no 4-bpp gfx. All gfx are 8-bpp.

And with that, all the remaining .DAT files are now ripped:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/a7wnpbe9q...32.7z/file

There are still some errors. For example, I have palette that goes up to 248 colors, but for some reason the gfx wants 254th color that doesn't exists. It is like it reused palette from another file, but I have no idea which file it is from.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The PHP scripts are uploaded to my github repo.

Good luck to your Kaneko ripping project!

Thank you so much now this will be much more easier to rip the sprites!

Sorry for replying in this thread, I was wondering if anyone here knows how to rip sprites/assets from Policenauts? 

The main archive is ~24MB, named PNAUTS.WLD, the files inside it seem to be packed sequentially, but I do not know the formats or how to interpret them. So far I've seen headers such as SCPK, LDPK, DTPK, UPDT.

Besides PNAUTS.WLD, there are a few other files that could contain information about how the resources are read by the game, those amount to ~30KB and are named: DCDDAT.TBL, LCDDAT.TBL, PCD_B.TBL, PCD_E.TBL, PCD_V.TBL, PNAUTS.NAM, SCDDAT.TBL, UCDDAT.TBL

Any suggestions? Thanks!
