As of the 2021/06/06 build, YY-CHR.NET has support for three planar formats:

• 1BPP Planar (as the 1BPP 8×8 format)
• 2BPP Planar (as the 2BPP GB format)
• 4BPP Planar (as the 4BPP SMS/GG/WSC format)

Using the plugin code template that was officially shared by the program’s author, YY, this release adds support for five additional planar formats in the form of plugins: 3BPP, 5BPP, 6BPP, 7BPP and 8BPP Planar.

Notably, the 3BPP Planar format is used in a few SEGA Master System / Game Gear games to store the player’s graphics, like:

• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Alex Kidd in Miracle World
• James Bond 007: The Duel

The download includes both the source code and the compiled DLL files for these plugins. If you wish to compile the code yourself, instructions are provided in the READ ME file.
