If it's anything like the other dat files, there should be at least one section ahead of it that acts as a lookup table, and the graphics resources may or may not completely exist at that location. Ran across several "images" in other .dat files that would start off with the JFIF JPEG header, but then stop before it reached the footer - presumably the rest of it would be located somewhere else in the file. Unfortunately those split up files are the only stumbling block to figuring out the .dat format completely.
Anyway, my apologies for derailing the thread - it's just that .dat files have pretty much been my elusive prey off and on for the past 2+ years
