Nope.

I have tried Irfanview and Paintshop Pro 7, every time they show up as some scrambled mass of randomely colored pixels, this is so stupid I have been able to open these with Irfanview before, there must be some setting somewhere that's interfereing with the opening of RAW files, any ideas?
 
I have that same problem sometimes. Have you used the converter program to turn them into TGA? http://www.bwfiles.com/files/index.php?action=file&id=212

Drag your images into this and it'll covert them to TGA. Always back up your files first, though. Once they're TGA, you can edit them and drag them back to reconvert them. However, some files will still be messed up. For example, the nuetral hand converts to and from TGA fine, but the good hand doesn't. I'm not sure why this happens, but I'm sure that someone more experienced than I will tell you soon.  :)
 
It sounds like you're saving as a compressed .tga

In PSp7 do a Save-as of the .tga file and under Options, make sure that 24 bits and Uncompressed is checked.
 
Well I can't save it as anything, or convert it cause it won't open up correctly it screws the colors, I try to open "Leash.raw" and I get this:

For raw files you need to define a size. Usually it's 256 by either 128 or 64.
 
oops sorry i told you something about bw2 and this i assume is bw1

:sorry
 
Sorry I couldn't do this earlier. PSP was giving me some trouble. :rolleyes

For the leash.raw file in PSP7 it's 256 x 128, three channel( RGB),  interleaved, Order RGB. Use the last three setting for all .raw files.
 
Ok I was fianlly able to open all (Or 90%) of them, who'd knew they would need a specific size setting? Also the colors are off I wish it was red-blue-yellow format instead of red-blue-green, who came up with the green anyway? Oh well atleast they open now.
 
Lol, you can't escape the fact that red/green/blue are the three primary colours.

Cyan/magenta/yellow are the complementary colours.
 
Red Blue Yellow is paint main colours, as 'solid' colours tend to mix to a darker form.

Red Green Blue is light main colours, as it is 'elusive' and tends to mix to a lighter colour.

(Red blue yellow paint make a muky brown)

(Red green blue light make a white glaze)
