Signature
There is no signature, but reading the width and height, and multiplying this out, should match the size of the file, and also the length given in the header.
File format
| Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UINT16LE | length | Length of data, in bytes (not including this field) |
| UINT16LE | width | Width of one plane, in pixels |
| UINT16LE | height | Height of the image, in pixels |
| UINT8[width * 4 * height] | pixelData | Pixel data |
The width field must be multiplied by four to get the width of the image in pixels.
The pixel data is in VGFM Screen Format although the dimensions in the header are used rather than the format being fixed at 320×200.
