Ethaniel Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hello everyone. I am attending a retro gaming show in december and since i'll be in the 2600 booth, i thought i'd make a cool looking logo as a rom for the show. I have NEVER programmed anything in any language but i managed to understand a few things from RandomTerrain site and a couple videos. I am trying to convert an image to bb code using the graphics converter, but every time i press "View Code" vbb crashes. is there something i should do different? I managed to make a crappy logo using the playfield but it looks horrible. Is there some ready kernel or vbb option so i can use to make that happen (maybe even add a little tune also)? Is that doable using only vbb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Try turning on Auto Resize or resizing and simplifying the image in another program before loading it in. I just tried an image as-is and the program crashed, but after turning on auto-resize, there was no crash and code was created. Looks like you have to treat it in a similar way to the Title Screen Kernel Editor where you have to shrink down and simplify your images before using them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: i'm sorry, where is the auto-resize option in title screen editor? Edited October 11, 2016 by Ethaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The graphics converter has Auto Resize. The Title Screen Kernel Editor is a different tool. Click on that link to see a list of helpful links that includes one to the official PDF instructions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethaniel Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 all images seem to be 16k rom files. would it be possible to take apart a 16k rom cartridge and rewrite its eprom with my image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
