Description

StrapImage.arc is a shared content file located in Wii console NAND memory which enables developers to use the image for the Strap Usage Screen.
To use it, specify the shared content attribute in makeWad.

The Strap Usage Screen images (.tpl format) for each supported language are archived as LZ77 compressed files. Each TPL file includes Screen A (without extension controller) and Screen B (with extension controller).
The North American and European versions share the same English, French, and Spanish language screens.

Note: The image content file for the Strap Usage screen contains 640x480 (4:3) Strap Usage screen images. Applications should either expand or shrink the image data to convert it to a size other than 640x480, if necessary.
If the screen's aspect ratio is 16:9, do not change the width-to-height ratio of the image data for the Strap Usage screen (4:3). Instead, display the image data with a white (RGB = {255,255,255}) border added to each side. Stretching the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 will change the width-to-height ratio of the image data as well, which may prevent characters from being read properly.
