About TIM Format

PlayStation Texture (TIM)

The native texture format of the PS1.

Overview

The TIM format is the standard image file format for the Sony PlayStation (PSX/PS1) console. It stores textures, sprites, and background images in a way that maps directly to the console's VRAM (Video RAM).

Technical Details

A TIM file contains a header (identifying the bits-per-pixel: 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit) followed by optional CLUT (Color LookUp Table) data and then the pixel data. 4-bit and 8-bit modes use palettes. It includes 'STP' bits (Special Transparency Processing) which handled the PS1's unique semi-transparency modes.

History

Released in 1994 with the PlayStation SDK. It was the format for Final Fantasy VII backgrounds, Metal Gear Solid textures, and thousands of other games.

Common Use Cases

  • Rom Hacking: Modifying textures in classic PS1 games.
  • Homebrew: Developing new games for the original hardware.

Advantages

  • Hardware Native

Limitations

  • Obsolete

About WBMP Format

Wireless Bitmap

The pixel format of the Nokia 3310 era.

Overview

History
