There may be a pattern for how files are stored and accessed. At the start of each sector, after the CD-XA header, if the sector is the start of a new file, there will be 16-bytes in front of it first. First 4-bytes with a random number. Then a single byte which represents how many sectors this file will occupy. The rest is zeroed out. With this, I was able to write a program that would go sector-by-sector looking for this header than matched. I was able to extract 1,049 background images in full.

May have figured out the pre-file header stuff that appears before the *.BS files. Not sure what the 05FF0008 part is yet but the number after that, that single byte, may be a number used to tell how many sectors this file uses. This should fix my auto extractor from having to guess the length of the data.
