CHR File Format
by battagline on 2018-09-14 (#225798)
Is the .chr file format just a ppu pattern table in memory set up as a file? Or is it something more than that?
Thanks

If it's 4KiB, yes, that's what it is.
The tools I've written work with any multiple of 16 tiles (256B); sometimes you might wish to have multiple chunks of CHR and let the linker handle them.
