Languages (in correct order) are: Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Unknown, Unknown.
 +
 +
== Animation Sequence ==
 +
The sequence is represented by 2-byte tokens, in the following format (we're now talking bits, from left to right):
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|- style="background-color: #ddd;"
 +
! Length
 +
! Description
 +
! Mask

|-
 +

| 0x0700
 +
|-
 +
| 8
 +
| Frame Duration (in ms)
 +
| 0x00FF
 +
|}
 +
Both bytes being zero indicates the end of the sequence. If the first token is zero, the non-animated default image is shown.
 +
 +
== Bitmap Format ==
 +
The bitmap is tiled 8x8 pixels (Nintendo tends to do this). Each pixel contain 4 bits of data, being the index into the palette specified by the current sequence-token.
 +
 +
== The Palettes ==
 +
Each color in the palette is in the standard 2-byte RGB555 format (used since GBA).
 +
 +
The conversion to RGB888 is made like this (C):
 +
  u8 r = (color      ) & 0x1f;
 +
  u8 g = (color >>  5) & 0x1f;
 +
  u8 b = (color >> 10) & 0x1f;
 +
  r = (r << 3) | (r >> 2);
 +
  g = (g << 3) | (g >> 2);
 +
  b = (b << 3) | (b >> 2);
