| The first utility you will need is {{ff3:ff3us:util:gfx:psv.7z|Peer Sprite Viewer}} (PSV). This utility can compress and decompress data from the ROMs for FF3us and Chrono Trigger.

| Enter the same starting offset ($12E000) and click **...** to enter a filename with the extension of your choice (a lot of people use .bin to hint at a binary file). Finally, click **Decompress**, as shown {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:compressed:psv7.png?linkonly|here}}.
