Hiresbitmap+colors or just the bitmap? Timanthes should be able to fix that without any bigger problem. ConGo is another solution which works in 95% of the cases. |

I recommend you try using GANGED by The Gang. (GangEd 1.01) or maybe ProjectOne by Resource :) (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=23635) It is more helpful compared to KONV1. And they are more user-friendly as well. :) |

What is wrong with Project One or Timanthes?
Those programs can do that, although for plain conversion I think Project One is easier to use. |

Someone got a commandline util for this purpose btw (converting to various c64 formats)? Would be nice to stick in the makefiles... (huhuhu) |

I have deleted the old P1, the link above is now dead. use the latest one. but there's a bug in it so I'd not recommend it atmo. only if u can live with that the saved bitmap is inverted:) this happens only with hires mode, multi is ok. |

start GangEd - File - Import PC Image - Choose format - Save
I think it cant be easier :-). maybe P1 and/or Timanthes are good prgs too, but I did no test it... |

Pasi Ojala made a good toolchain to convert from/to some formats (MC/FLI/IFLI/AFLI/BFLI) written in portable C.

@Oswald - I found the graphic data to be fine, it was only the colour data that seemed to be inverted... well, for my particluar pic. It was late and I was very tired! I have written a nibble routine to fix that problem... swap the colours hi/lo.

Yes, why not use a full-feathered painting program for conversion issues instead of using a tool (complete with customizable palettes) made for the purpose. A tool which furthermore can handle 90% of format varieties. No, i'm not talking about Konv1. Sometimes it gets pretty obvious that people around here doesn't have a friggin' clue about usable graphics-tools and not.
It's just like when people are asking about C-64 native conversiontools and people don't seem to have a clue about Grahams wonderful little program, GFX Transformer 1.0.
As a paranthesis, I wonder how many old, homebrewn, custom PC-bitmap -> singlecolor hires routines there are present on the harddrives of the C-64 coders out there? 10? 20? 30? |

If you get the file across to the C64 (or even in the emulator), you can use GoDot.. or put it into GIF(87) format and use VGIF/GIFFY. |
