Hey,
I have been using the PSX Emulator for a long time now, and I recently decided that I wanted to rip models and textures from my favorite game, Twisted Metal 2. There are tools available on this site that I found, psximg (TIM2BMP/TIM2TGA) and TMD2LWO... The problem is, neither of them has a UI, and I have no idea how to use command prompt. I tried drag-and-drop, but apparently, that doesn't work for these programs.

Can anyone help me figure this out? I would like to convert the character bios for each character in Twisted Metal, and possibly some of the car models (although the graphics for this game are so old, the models wouldn't really be worth much, its more for the challenge of it)

Thanks,
Kingfisher13

COMMAND PROMPT 101

1.) OPEN THE COMMAND PROMPT

a.) Run - 'CMD' or Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt

2.) CHANGE TO THE DIRECTORY IN WHICH YOUR PROGRAM RESIDES

a.) cd <path>

i.) <path is the full path to the folder where your program is stored. For instance, c:\program files\penispump\. If the path contains any spaces, you'll have to enclose the entire thing in double quotes.

3.) TYPE THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM

a.) For instance, if your program is named penispump.exe, type penispump.exe and hit enter.

i.) Unless the program was written by a total fuckhead, it will give you an idea of what to type to actually make the program work at this point.

D.) ???

E.) ORGASM^H^H^H^H^H^H PROFIT

Well, that didn't quite work for me... Here, maybe you could take a look at this, and tell me what to do next: (Image attached)

CD means Change Directory, you're not supposed to include the name of the program in the path, just the name of the directory in which it is contained. That will move you into said directory so that you can run the program.

Hmmmm... I tried that as well, it said "Cannot find the path specified". I was able to open the program just by putting in its entire path and hitting enter, but then I am stuck. The program says how to use it, Im just not sure how to follow that. I open the program, and it says: SYNTAX:TIM2BMP Source Destination... I'm not sure what to do with that. Can you tell me how to enter the file's name I want to convert and its destination according to the syntax? Sorry I'm not very good at this, it has been a long time since I've used Command Prompt. Thanks for your help!
