	*Be aware that PVV is a more helpful version of the ROM's v-ram. So whatever shows up on v-ram (press F11 if playing on a pSX emulator), will also end up on PVV with little to no improvements on the matter.		*Be aware that PVV is a more helpful version of the ROM's v-ram.

	*As stated above, PVV's palettes are slightly different in shade to the original colors of the games, though not so much that it would be glaringly obvious.

	4bpp can only show 16-colors, leaving the presented sprite with unnatural colors that don't fit the original, in-game presentation. Your first solution is to increase bpp to get all of the colors needed, but you then realize that increasing the bpp squishes the sprite, making it even more difficult to fix the problem.		4bpp can only show 16-colors, leaving the presented sprite with unnatural colors that don't fit the original, in-game presentation.

	Instead of attempting to rectify the problem through simple [[Recolor\|recoloring]], or splicing parts of a screenshot with the closest palette you can find (Which is NOT recommended due to ~~PPV~~'s palettes being slightly different in shade to the ones used in the screenshot), try and dig around the palette area for other colors that fit the original presentation of the sprite, then save them as separate files once you locate them, after which you can select and combine the parts that represent the original palette to complete the rip.

	You can also poke around the contents of the save state for other sprites that represent, or have never been seen anywhere in game. But be aware that the palettes for these sprites will not be in the same area as the ones tailored to the sprites shown next to the image, and some may require an increase in bpp in order to correct their squished appearance, so be prepared to spend more than a couple minutes sifting through the palettes for the proper colors to display the desired sprite.
