Hey everyone! I hope I'm posting in the right place. I've got some files for a pinball game that include a rom, images, sounds, and videos. I know that RAW typically refers to an image format, but in this case, the file I have isn't a standard image; it was downloaded as a zip file intended for direct installation on a pinball machine. I've also noticed that there's an alternate way to update the machine, and those files look different as well. I'm trying to figure out how to explore the videos and images within these files, but I'm not sure how to get started. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

It sounds like you might be confusing the term "image" in this context. Here, it refers to a byte-for-byte copy of data, not a picture. The file is designed to be written directly to an SD card that your pinball machine can read. On your computer, it just looks like random data with no direct meaning. You’ll need the right setup to access the content properly.
So you're saying I can't just open it on my PC? I thought I could extract the images and videos directly.
