Hello,
I just compiled and run that small example from Picasso96 devkit:
(you can see the code here): https://paste.ofcode.org/gbNW7R74YWkqJ5x2fiL77K
I was checking the 320x256x32 mode and the result is weird. it says that there is 4 bytes per pixel but.. 24 bits per pixel.. why not 32 bits?
It is correct and desired that the P96API call returns 24 bits per pixel. It's the number of bits that actually have an influence on colour. If you want to get the total number of bits per pixel, there is a tag called DEPTH (also mentioned in the API documentation). It is two separate things you need to keep in mind: Number of colours and encoding width may or may not be different, depending on screen mode and graphics card.
For pixel formats with padding-data, you have a depth of 32 bits, but only 24 bits that have a meaning. So again, your output is expected and desired to describe reality in required detail.

Thank you for answer
