Hey, just in case you do not know it, the AXE (advanced hex editor) has a feature that lets you view (uncompressed) binary data as colored pixels. That way you can guess much better where the data block for an image starts and where it ends. You could then use the normal hex editor to select and copy the image data (in case there is just one file with all the image data used in the game, which is often the case) and paste it into a new file making it a seperate image.

Thanks I'll have to try that out. The images in the Playstation 1, when it is being run I think are stored in Vram, which would explain how I can not seem to find them, in the 2 megabyte ram section.

I like this because you can see the pictures, but the screen is so little.
