bmp2spr released   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #12055 of 15019 |
Hi

A few days ago I released my BMP to SPRITE header converter tool. It
runs in DOS and outputs in the same format as PCX2SPR.EXE

You can get it at my webpage www.dmpsoftware.co.uk
<http://www.dmpsoftware.co.uk/> and click on the GBA DEVELOPMENT link.

I wrote it because there was a lack of tools that converted bmp files
into the tiled-8x8 sprite data that the GBA requires for backgrounds and
sprites. It works with any 256-colour bitmap in dimensions 8x8 ->
128x128 (includes 8x16, 32x64 etc too).

Hope you lot find it useful with your GBA development.

TTFN,

Derek.
