Hi all..

I saw couple of posts of people struggeling to convert pictures to screen 1/2/3 ....so here you are....IMG-2-MSX

features:

- converts all known images.
- batch converting
- down-scaling (256x192 or 256x256)
- exporting to bload readable files(+little slideshow generator basic-file generated for your viewing pleasure) Slideshow works only for images with a size of 256x192 (or scaled down to it) ofcourse. For larger images you'll have to write something in asm to manage it.

- preview of converted images

I developed it in exactly 2 HOURS !! But that's mainly because the thinking was already done by Rafael Jannone (with his Floyd-Steinberg implementation). I just optimized it for speed ....

It still needs some testing...so go right ahead:

msxsite.ryan-da-bass-man.com/img2msx.zip

still todo:

- add conversion to SC5
- using different palettes (also for SC5)
- and whatever you can think of that might be usefull...(or at least I think is..)

- oh yeah write a manual ....any volunteers ?????

Bah... User guides are for sissies

BTW, really nice and usefull tool !

RyJuZo, did you look into ViewMSX to cross-examine it for known formats? Just getting after the remark you made about 'all known formats', har har.

Anyway, I suppose it's a great tool. I don't do windows, so in all fairness, I haven't had a look. Great effort anyway

RyJuZo, have a look to my C code here at MRC
I'm sure you cannot optimize it more than that
(I mean the actual encoding, outside the core
algorithm you prolly will have more elegant solutions)
The source comes in two verision, with traditional
Euclidean metric and with perceptually uniform error
metric for optimal color quantization.

cool stuff.
saving a converted img didn't go so well (some error)
oh well

send me a printscreen of the error if you will ...
