I'm very interested in this too, if you ever found anything out about it. I want to do a fan game based on a series I grew up with but honestly the original game was very basic and didn't play well but I still love it and want to make the game I always imagined it could be which isn't really adding much but it requires bringing the old assets into a better engine since I imagine adding modifications to a PS1 game would be much harder
@@CryptToneMusic I can't remember who sent me it, but there's a modded version of DuckStation you can download which has a freecam and geometry ripper it's called duckstation 3d screenshot
@@ebanksstudios thank you I've been using it and it's a fun tool but unfortunately not super useful for my purposes at least. It only captures what is rendered on screen and up to the end of the render distance, and then it gives you everything as one .obj file. So you only get pieces of the map within your direct view and characters in whatever pose they were in as one solid model. It can give you textures as well which has been useful. But i don't know if I can rig already posed models with my noob blender skills and I can't see myself stitching together the small sections of maps like that. I found some .mdl files in the game data which just guessing that might be the map files I tried to get them into blender but it didn't work. But with the textures maybe I can make new levels eventually but it would be cool to have the originals.
@@CryptToneMusic I was working on a Rugrats remake, I would use cheat engine to freeze the timer on the game and then merge multiple screenshots and model over it
@@ebanksstudios I'm trying to remake the Army Men games, my most pressing thing is the character models luckily there's literally only one in the whole game, they just change the texture color to green or tan. I'm debating if I should attempt to rig an already posed model and animate it or if I should try and remake the textures as faithfully as I can to fit a new character model.
Here's the hotkeys Ive learned: ` (tilde button to the left of 1) = reverse color 1 = 4bit grey preview 2 = 8bit grey preview 3 = 16bit grey preview (didnt look grey to me though) 4 = 24bit grey preview 5 = 16bit clut (not sure what it does, top of the window says "clut ( 0, 0)" and pressing up/left decreases those numbers and pressing down/right increases them, doesnt seem to do anything) 8 = 24bit MDEC 9 = 4bit clut (same as 5, but when using the arrow keys to change the numbers your crosshair actually moves and changes the color palette) 0 = 8bit clut (same deal as 9) And as he said in the video, arrow keys moves the crosshair, WASD moves your preview window.
I use a special version of Duckstation to capture 3D screenshots but it only captures whatever is rendered on screen and it gives you that 3D scene as one big Obj file not individual models. I'm looking for a way to get files for whole 3D models of levels and characters but so far no luck.
Is there a way to rip character animations from games? I used a special version of Duckstation and managed to rip 3D character models and textures but now i wish i had the original animations as well. It would be nice also to be able to get the 3D files of the maps/levels but I'm probably asking a bit much on both fronts 😂
The part of the screenshot doesn't work. It still gives me a picture with a filter or something. The tool itself should have a way to save a screenshot as a BMP or something. The rest works so far.
hi, i tried to mod some textures on resident evil 3 -nemesis psx (usa) with TIM2VIEW..program opens the game file image and show me the textures..but when i convert the game image file in EBOOT for playing on psp ,when comes the logo i have modded , game freeze. where i did wrong?..i have extrated the logo on png format ,i have modded using photofiltre with same size (320x 240) ,then i had injected the png in the same place where TIM2VIEW show me original tim file ..i also tried to re-extrated my image and it has been converted from png to tim ...but game don't wanna works..i don't understand where i do wrong.
Interesting. I've looked at NES game console and it has similar way of representing sprites. It stores the transparency color and palettes. However, if I am not mistaken, the palettes are stores in different memory.
After you extract all of the pngs. Are you able to upscale those PNGs and then reinsert them into the game? And if so, how do you replace the old texture pngs with the new ones?
If someone can help me, I'm trying to install Tim2View on my laptop (Windows), but I have no clue on how to do it. Could someone please tell me the process of getting from the first page (the page that pops up when you click the link) to the download screen?
Hi, if your using the extract all pngs button then they should all be saved in the same folder as the Tim2View Program. Otherwise, if your extracting one specific image, you can go to image - Export png to select wherever you'd like to save it too. Hope this helps :D
This is great and all and very useful information but how do you get the 3D models from these games? i am trying to rip the models themselves from a ps1 game but this is a good start.
Tim2view doesn't seem to work for japan-only games. I got them to work in the emulator via the correct bios, but any idea why the bins wouldn't show anything? I've tried multiple games, and it works on any non-japan ones.
I think it must be to do with the file format they use when making the Japan version. I'm currently working making another video of other possible ways of ripping textures, just need to find the right tools for it, so far this site seems most promising - www.romhacking.net/utilities/
@@stayretro310 Ah, yeah it's weird. I'm able to take the textures from one particular japanese only game. The rest I assume just weren't using tim files. wierd.
Does anyone know how to get every image off of a GBA game? The only method I know of is pretty poor and that involves screen recording which isn't ideal.
