#Maki-chan video modes are a bit messy and seems to have been expanded over the years without too much planing:
#1) When offset1(ubeshort) !=0x0344:
# 1.1) And  offset3(ubyte).b7=0:
# - b0=pixel aspect ratio: 1=2:1   (note: this ignores that the machine's 1:1 pixel aspect ratio isn't really 1:1)
# - b1=number of colors: 0=16 colors, 1=8 colors
# - b2=Palette or fixed colors flag (called "analog" and "digital" in the doc): 0=Paletted, 1=Fixed colors encoded directly in the pixel data
# 1.2) And  offset3(ubyte).B7=1:
# - b0=256 paletted colors
# - b1=256 fixed colors using the MSX SCR8 palette
#2) When offset1(ubeshort) =0x0344:
# - 256x212 image with 19268 YJK colors. The usual resolution and color information fields from the file must be ignored
