Updated the script and the extractor. Characters followed by ゙ or ゚ are remplaced by their all-in-1 counterpart.

I managed to dump all the tiles from the game. Here's the source code. Don't worry if it ends with this error:
[error] invalid image dimensions (2040, 2040).
It basically scan the rom from the file offset 0x2200 until it fails to decode an image. The images are output in ASCII RGB PPM format. Gimp can read them. It only uses one hardcoded palette. I plan to add 8bpp PCX output in the future in order to output each image with the palette extracted from the rom.

Here're some updates regarding the image extractor:
The images are now output as 256 colors PCX files containing 2 palettes. The first one contains the original palette scaled to [0,255]. The second one contains the original values (r,g abd b between 0 and 7).
I was lucky that they didn't group the palettes. So you have 1 palette per image. That's a waste of space given a lot of images shares the same palette. But I won't complain here as it made my job easier :)
The source code is at the same place : (here)

Here's a quick test with the current font. The uppercase letters are 1 pixel too tall. And maybe some lowercase are... unreadable :D

I think I found the tables. The good thing is that it as the following format: bank offset. So basically the ROM can be expanded if needed.
So basically I won't have to modify the text routine.

I'm hunting down menus. So far I've found the main one and the "interrogation" sub menu.
The current extraction code needs to be modified to handle them.

Here's a quick menu test.

Unfortunately due to space constraints, I had to choose a less "formal" translation for some items. For example "Partner" becomes "Buddy".
"Crime scene" is now "Scene". And "Interrogate" is now "Talk".
I'm not super happy with it. I'll try to hack the menu display routine to have one item per line.
What do you think?
