Help with PS1 16bit tim image

[scorpion2k81]

Hi,
I have a problem with some 16bit TIM image files for PS1, I can't convert them correctly into an editable format (bmp, png,...).
The game is Ore no Ryouri, I would like to try to translate it into English/Italian.
Can anyone help me edit these files?
Thank you.

16bit images.zip

That is a rar file, those are very hard to deal with, you would probably need the newest version of the rar software. But even then, given the size, what makes you think that it could contain a tim file???

the archive I uploaded contains the tim files that I need to modify. I have uploaded everything in a compressed file

Ah, I thought it was only one "TIM" file, and might exceed 2Mbyte after decrompression. Thanks for changing rar to zip.
The tim's in there have all wrong colors, which is somewhat impossible for 16bit direct color.
I'd assume that they are 4bit or 8bit (or a mixup thereof).
The required palettes seems to be included at the bottom of the bitmaps.

That's looking quite common. Tim files do often just contain raw vram data, so you need to sort out yourself which pixels have which color depth, and how to assign which palette(s) to which pixels.

I noticed the palettes in the image below...
they look like 8 bit+clut images, in vram they display half the width.
they could be fake 16bit Tims.

The image consists of a mix of 8 bits per pixel (8bpp) and 4 bits per pixel (4bpp) data. The color look-up table (CLUT) is located at the end of the file. It's uncertain whether all the CLUTs are present.

Utilize the "nopsx" emulator to extract each CLUT individually and retrieve the accurate colors.





I have attached two tools created by my compatriot Denim that can help you extract the CLUTs. There is also a tutorial in Portuguese on how to use them.
