PSO____IMG.dat files ? What image format is that?

[Orinoko-Dui]

After trolling the forums, I was able to figure out how to do the screencaptures to a VMU.

Only problem is that now it's this goofy DAT file. What kinda format is this supposed to be? There was another post saying to just change the extension to *.jpg - HAH no worky

I emailed the file to my yahoo using the BBPasspport disc and saw no feature to changing the attachments extension in the BBpassport mail client. When I received it on my PC, changing the extension didn't work.

Can anyone clarify how to use these screencap captured to the VMU?

Muchos Thank Youz

The file format is proprietary.

The first 32-bytes of data are header information, while the next 612 bytes of information of data are misc. game state information.

The image begins as packed RGB 565 data AFTER the first 644 bytes. The image itslef is 256x192 pixels. There are some remaining bytes after the image including the state of each character on screen. I don't know exactly what information is here but I think its item inventory =)

Anyway, I wrote a Windos App to do the conversion to .BMP format but I have no way to distribute the dang thing.
