TGA is among the best format to use in Plib - I warmly suggest it.

I also use BMP along with the 3DS loader and it works fine (the loader manages
the y-flipping so to resemble the other serious image format habit).

I'm not 100% sure but PNG also suffers the y-flipping problem, and, should it be
the case, it is not managed by the loaders.
