Its difficult since the data is encrypted/compressed in an unknown format (well unknown to me) plus the data stream is in a totally different format from standard windows (unless the format of the pics are .jpeg's) also the disc format is GD, a giga disc developed by yamaha, these disc can only be read by the gd-rom installed in dc's, but if you look on the bottom of the disc's there is a distinct stripe in the center about 1cm in radius this is the cd-rom part of the data that can be read by cd roms everything past this is super highdenstity, the only way a computer can get to this data is by having a direct cable link to the dc (you need a dc serial-com serial cable for the dc for this which still are probably for sale). Even then i don't know.

I don't think there is pictures on the Shenmue 1 discs.

No, only on Shenmue II. Or at least, I can't find any on my S1.
