Normal ISO filesystem, data is written in mode 2 (XA mode).
Most PCs can read it without problem, just try it...

I don't have the PSX Snatcher. Some games use TIM format, that's very easy
to convert. FF7 uses a compressed (LZ-like) algorithm, which is difficult.
Can anyone who does have PSX Snatcher tell me about the GFX files? Maybe
send me one, if it's not too large (mail me before you send files!).

But then other people will complain that they don't have V9958...
I think SCREEN 7 (maybe using updated GFX) is a must.
GFX9000 version as well would be cool if ripping from PSX version proves
to be easy.

Converting is not the problem. It's displaying: 15bit GFX will look bad on
V9938 and not that good on V9958 either.
