Something bothers me tough : they look like each character is brightly drawn onto a darker one. Here's the sheet (garbage at the beginning must be some auxiliary data, I'll investigate). Did those among you who actually played PSG2 (it's not my case) see those "surimpressed characters" ?
What image viewer did you use to view the characters in? The characters are drawn in segments as explained before, with specific codes in order which produce a shadow, a line, a line which may brighten the previous line, and then another type of shadow. At least, when playing around with the bits in each line, that's what it appeared to be doing. I couldn't tell you what each bit means or how the game interprets that because I never got around to locating the character drawing routine itself. But because of the strange way the characters are drawn, I didn't think there was a viewer that could properly view the data?
