The file name seems to be stored in the file header 3 times:
 
*Original file name 0x0066
 
*Current file name 0x0078
 
*Partial file name 0x0092
 
 
 
The file name is stored in 3 parts:
 
*3 hex bytes, the first byte's high nibble is not the same as the first byte of the file name
 
*13 bytes for the central part of the file name
 
*2 bytes for the last part of the file name.
 
 
 
For the file name : G35B20_0909841CDBEB1_002

The preview image is a 64x48 image stored in a 16 colour tile way, with each 8x8 tile taking up 32 bytes of the file.
 
Here's two preview images I (blasty) decoded from some PPM files.

Flipnote Studio uses 3 different file extensions:

  • .PPM - these are the animation files themselves
  • .LST - This is a list of the files in the current directory
  • .PLS - These are the sticker files, and the recently edited file.
