PC to PSX comparison
During the porting process to the PC, some of the original artwork, (and artists for that matter), wereno longer available. This resulted in the port team having to use the Psy-Q versions of many files,which were ill suited for the PC architecture. In our example, the [[PSX/TIM_file|TIM file]] was converted to a TEX file,which would be manipulated in the PC's video memory a little more efficiently. Sometimes the original artwork was available, such as the pictures of the characters within the menu, or the original MIDI files. Most often times it was not.
To make things a little more confusing, both systems also archive their data files in different ways,making the extraction and rendering of each file a bit of a bear. For the most part the data within eachfile each file is the same thing, just a little switched around. This manual will cover the more generic files first,and then common files used in each module.
