support for rgb565 pls

[tooyangtoonaive]

In embedded system, rgb565 is more common format than other.

bit order
R will be the most significant 5 bits: R = bits[15 ~ 11] G = bits[10 ~ 5] B = bits[4 ~ 0]

byte order
little endian: bits[7 ~0] first byte, bits[15 ~ 8] second byte
big endian: swap little endian bytes

Hi! So its like a packed RGB format. Interesting. Could you provide a sample file in this format? Or is there a way to create this somehow?
