I found this on the internet:
MAME
While playing a game, press F4 to see a palette screen. Then, press Enter to switch between the palette, pattern, and tilemap viewers. Pressing + or - increases and reduces the size of the entries. Pressing Up and Down on the keyboard goes through the entries, while Left and Right changes the palette. Pressing {/[ and }/] goes through the banks.

Please note this feature will not work fully on all games: For instance, Mortal Kombat doesn't use a tile-based system, so only the palette screen can be viewed.

thanks a lot for the info, yes I know that can be in Mame Emulator, but in this case can cut via tile viewer the Sprites, the question is if exist a way to unpack all from main files no via emulator one by one.

I think it's not possible until someone write a custom unpacker for this.
