$0 to $2 for the resolution
$f to "$b : number of saved cycle. 0 to 4
........first color cycle (if used)
1 byte: color - identical Neo and Tny -
High 4 bits: color left
low 4 bits: color right
1 byte: direction and speed
High 4 bits: direction 0,1,2 - identical DEgas Elite
low 4 bits: speed 0 à 128 identical Degas Elite

1 word number itération for use in slide shows identical Tny and Neo

* colors cycles are saved (on or off) only if the values are consistent
Custom width and height, what use?
could you not change the first byte to something else for example $FE to indicate that it is a new version?
Custom width and height can be use for different ting
for over/under scan pictures.
if you only want to make a picture that fill the top half of the screen
or if you want to make a very high picture that you later can scroll in.
i have pm you with some pictures and my viewer.
