Cross-Game Pattern Load Cue (PLC) System

To parse pattern load cue (PLC) data from Sonic Mega Drive ROMs, use the PlcParser to interpret the shared binary format and decompress graphical assets for accurate visual representation.

Yes, you can decompress standalone graphical assets for Sonic 1, 2, and 3 & Knuckles by utilizing the Skill's methods for standalone decompression alongside standard level-buffer asset loading.

The best way to load custom boss art in Sonic 3 & Knuckles is to parse the specific PLC data and decompress the assets into the required display format using the provided asset loading utilities.

Pattern decompression for level initialization works by reading the PLC definition from the ROM file at a specific address, interpreting the format, and loading the necessary graphical patterns into the level buffer.

Yes, you need a specific ROM address to extract pattern load cues. For example, you can parse the PLC definition from an attached ROM file at address 0x01DD86 to retrieve the corresponding PLC ID.

PLC format analysis is limited to parsing and decompressing graphical pattern load cues specifically for Sonic 1, 2, and 3 & Knuckles, meaning it does not support other game formats or non-graphical assets.
