but it is nog realy working for me. So i need some help!

i got a B&W picture 320x200

if i interpret that config correctly, you have only defined the location of the actual bitmap data, and not the screen (vram) data. probably helps if you look at how other hires formats are defined.

mono=2 color = no screen data. I guess.

HiRes Paint Programs often only handle mono color. So the whole kb has the same value i.e. $01 for actual black and white.
Now what congo MIGHT do is to mix it up :)
It may change value for set and deleted bits.
I.e. gimp cbm-plugs will use first color in 8x8 square as paint color, second as background.
So instead of $01,$01,... the color space may become $01,$10,$01,...
See what I mean? Some 8x8 areas may be inversed then. So either you save the whole colorram OR write yourself an own convter to inverse some 8x8 areas back :)
Hope that was readable, its earlyhere...
cheers,
enthusi
