Custom texture support - challenges and request for advice

[inactive123]

Hi there @iCatButler,

since you might know, I would just like to ask this question on @flyinghead's behalf.

@flyinghead wants to add custom texture support/texture dumping to Beetle PSX similar to Reicast. He describes the problem as follows -

I started looking into this but it's not going to be easy
PSX is much more about framebuffers and direct vram access
and most games use paletted textures

Would you be able to have any ideas as to how to go about it?

This would be great if you managed. Almost as good as dosbox or scummvm getting the same thing.

(scummvm especially looks like a likely target for this because of the deep engine(s) understanding would allow it to happen cleanly).

I have made a new issue for this here: #492 and will be moving the bounty. This way it is hopefully more obvious what the bounty entails :P. I was made aware by BountySource making fun of me on twitter haha. https://twitter.com/Bountysource/status/1101347624991383553
