pretty sure the engine is some fucked up witchcraft shit and its like that on the playstation version because it's merely emulating the engine. Makes ripping the sprites impossible.

If it's a simple stream cipher it should be very much possible to reap the encryption key from the game process with a debugger. Or just reap the sprites themselves. On the PlayStation you can press reset at the right time and dump the VRAM with one of the GameGenies clones to get the sprites. I think it can transfer them to a PC over serial or something like that.

I've tried multiple ways to rip the sprites, but haven't had any luck. I'll be blatantly obvious in my stupidity and say right now I have very little understanding of what you're suggesting but I'm assuming that if it worked somebody would have already done it by now. Though the game's obscurity could account for nobody trying it yet.
Any attempts at ripping the sprites I've done so far gets the full screen in one image like an FMV.
This was an engine made by the developers themselves from scratch and never used again. It's possible the playstation version was remade using a different preexisting engine, but I'm not sure.
