Extracting Game Graphics

[meth962]

So after I was asked to look into extracting game graphics, I took a look and got halfway successful. Legaia seems to not follow any standards to the T and mess up the image format. Looks like they either put a dummy Palette table in multiple parts of the image (even though it's in the header) or some sort of anti-theft design?

Either way, I have to play with it more because it's not consistent on every image. Once I clean them up though, they look fine.

Okay so I figured it out, it was only because it was a BIN file I ran the program off the disc on my laptop and boom. All Legaia images extracted perfectly.

Can you rip the 3D models?

All of the images are there unless it's an animation. Unless you mean the file data means for how to render those 2d graphics into 3d, no, I have not done that.

It's too bad the glyph that shows up during Evil Seru Magic/Dark Eclipse and Mystic Circle is only an animation. Been wanting to get an unobstructed image of that for a while.

I might be able to pull it from the VRAM of the playstation during a battle. Haven't tried it yet but I saw most of these graphics get loaded into the VRAM.

You mean this image?



I extracted it, but haven't found the correct color palette yet.

Oh heck yes, that's the one. Thanks a lot man. This is like an early Christmas present.

It was a temporary link. Long gone now. If demand for it is out there maybe K37SK can host it somewhere.
