I found some of the game's graphics in the graphical memory view so now I'm interested in finding which file(s) the graphics are stored in. The filenames themselves are hexadecimal strings and none of them have file extensions (and no header I'm assuming), so it's impossible to know where they came from just by looking at the files on windows' file explorer. Additionally, are there software that can actually open files like this as image data? I don't recall ever finding one.

You can use a hex editor like 010 Editor to scan files for a byte pattern. Use a chunk of the images data from memory and scan for it within the entire folder of files using the hex editor. (Assuming the files are not packed/encrypted/obfuscated in some manner and are loaded as-is.) _________________
