Used to upload sprite patterns. Sprite patterns are 16x16 (256 bytes for 8 bit colour and 128 bytes for 4 bit colour sprites) and are sent in English reading order. Each byte is the offset, 0-255 (or two 0-15 for 4-bit graphics), within the active sprite palette. After sending 256 bytes, the target pattern slot is auto-incremented. This auto-increment is independent of other sprite registers.
With 4 bit sprites each pattern slot contains effectively two patterns, each 128 bytes long, the sub-pattern displayed is selected by 7th bit "N6" in 5th sprite-attribute byte. With four bit graphics the top bits (of each pattern byte) 7-4 are "left" pixel on display and bits 3-0 are "right next to it" pixel on display (in default mode, no mirror, no rotate).
