I have a nintendo .cgx file and this article is all I can find. I don't know what SCAD is referring to though, and I need help to find it https://tcrf.net/Help:Contents/Finding_Content/File_Formats/CGX

we're not really allowed to talk about scad - it's a program that leaked with the Gigaleak
you can still open CGXes with Tile Molester or any modern tile editor

Ah I see. I don't even know what scad is lmao. Ty

SCAD (or SrCAD) was the official tool that Nintendo used to make graphics in-house
It was an internal tool
ocean folio
Alright thx
thorny reef
Humm now that I think about it, I think someone was working on a SCAD clone at some point, gimme a sec
ocean folio
There are also these .cg# files aswell in the cgx folder
But uhhh
Don't look right
thorny reef
use 4bpp planar composite
if there's any COL files there, they should work as palettes
ocean folio
Where is 4bpp?

Humm now that I think about it, I think someone was working on a SCAD clone at s...
dammit, can't find it
ocean folio
Ah found it
It also seems the original .cgx i uploaded uses 2bpp (The default)
2bpp:
4bpp:
thorny reef
2bpp:
yes, that first file you sent contains only 2bpp and 1bpp data
and some other garbage - could be non-gfx data, code, could be compressed graphics. Can't say.
What game is this anyway?
ocean folio
Pokemon crystal uhm. Prefer not to say on vgr
All you need to know is that it's from poke crystal
thorny reef
Pokemon Crystal is a game boy game though, and those are 4bpp graphics only possible on SNES, though?
ocean folio
These files are here

Yeah I would prefer not to get banned. Just talking about cgx nothing more
The files are dated 2000 btw

CGX generally is fine because you can run into it in other games too, but yeah in this specific case I suppose it's best we leave it at this
