- Now select a PSSG file you would like to work on.
- Click on the "Extract" button to extract the DDS files.
- Click on the "View Files" button to open the folder containing the   extracted DDS files.
- With the program IrfanView you can view the DDS files.

- Click on the "Import" button to import the data back into the PSSG   file.
- Place your modified PSSG file back into the game.

Problems / Issues
- This program does not extract all the PSSG files.
  If the program does not understand a PSSG file it will mention it on   the screen.

- Game crashes when trying to play a game.
  Click on the "Restore" button the PSSG file you have modified. If this   has occured the utility has not written the PSSG file correctly, which   needs to be fixed.
