    That's possible, no problem. :)

    I remember having written a small program to extract graphics from a ROM
    a long time ago, but now to remember where I put it... It was on the
    tg-hack FTP site, I'm sure, but it's apparently gone (?).

    But this is not all great, it's a lot less easy to find the colors,
    and a lot of games compress their graphics, making impossible to use
    a simple graphics viewer. But it should at least be possible to see the
    tiles/sprites (with bad colors) of a few games.
