If you have more black chunks than white chunks on a frame, you can actually save space sometimed by inverting black and white colors on your flipnote and then swapping the paper color to black.
paper color to black instead of actually drawing any pixels.
You'll notice that both flipnotes look identical, but the size of the first flipnote is larger than the second
does not have any pixels, there will again be no pixel data stored and you simply move on to reading the next chunk.
To better demonstrate, try creating a flipnote with a frame of all black pixels. Now create another flipnote that looks the same, but this time just swap the
Compression goes by line and then by each 8 pixels on each line.
If a line has no pixels, no pixel data will be stored and thus saves space.
Otherwise, the line is split up into 32 chunks of 8 pixels. Each chunk has a flag to say if that chunk contains any pixels, and if it

wow okay, this video plus J0w03L's comments probably somewhat explain why trying to manually hex edit a flipnote using HxD was so difficult

You are the wizard of flipnotes. Amazing how I'm still learning new methods til this day.
