    Lately, I've been working on a long term project similar to Ask Ace Attorney. I've got most of it set up already, but I'm having trouble finding the portraits of all the characters. As a result, I did the logical thing and attempted to rip them from the game. I did some research and found out that I can find the portraits in the BUSTUP folder of DATA.CVN (which I changed to DATA.BIN with a simple name change). However, the portraits are in a format that seems to be made by Atlus specifically for the game. They're in a *.bin format as well, but from the research I've done, it seems that they are the actual image files.

    Does anyone have a link to a tool that I can use to convert these to a format readable by Windows? I remember there being one for Persona 3, and since Persona 4 uses the same engine, it shouldn't be a problem. However, I couldn't find the P3 one and I suspect that it MIGHT not work for P4 anyway.

    Or can someone help in some other way?
