SYS files hold palette and sprite data for the game logo displayed in the CDZ menu screen. There's one file for each nationality:

  • TITLE_J.SYS
  • TITLE_U.SYS
  • TITLE_E.SYS

Palettes are stored first, there's space for 45 of them ($5A0 bytes). Following that are 45 sprite tiles in the regular SPR file format, making a 9*5 tiles (144*80 pixels) logo. Tiles are mapped from left to right, top to bottom.
