Operator: bpy.ops.image.import_tim(TIM_file=“FILE.TIM”)

Theres a panel in 3D View Properties “TIM” to load files relative to the blender file.
Sub folders are accessed like so: “\FOLDER\FOLDER\FILE.TIM”.

TIM files are written to images as a generated PNG.

Details

4 bit, 8 bit, 16 bit, each have a Transparency bit.
This does have data, but i dont know whats its for.
ATM the Transparency bit is set to 1.0.
Might be an Alpha Mask.

I didnt run into any games with 24 bit images.

4 bit, 8 bit textures seem to support animation, by not being square.
These files are diplayed as one image like so: [1][2][3][4].
