Extracting Sprite and Tile Images

Termite - Sep 8, 2004

			Hello all! Can anyone point me to some tools, or perhaps some file specs, that can decode sprite and tile images into a standard format. More specifically, I'm looking to decode images from a few Lunar games I unarchived a few weeks ago. I did see a tool in the Saturn Dev section that sounded like it might work, but the link is brocken. I've also noticed that most programs work under DOS or Windows -- since I work under Linux, and source code or specs on the files would be great so I can write my own. But... if I must... I can always boot my Windows partition. Thank you for any help! I appreciate it!

			Almost every game uses a specific different file format for storing tiles and sprites into files; thus I don't think that such a generic tool exists.

			Well... crap. <_< Could anyone suggest some good sites, or books, that might help me look into locating the image information and decoding them? Is there a standard naming convention used which would let me at least figure out where to start? Thanks for any info everyone!
