Current status:
Loading SCREEN8 and SCREEN12 images works. I also made some infrastructure so
I can add extra screen modes in less time.
It's really cool. You can open MSX images just as easily as GIF, JPG, BMP,
PNG etc. Also from the "recent files" list and even previewing the image in
the file open dialog works.
I'll put the whole thing on the web when it has some more functionality.
Including sources, probably under GPL. Anyone interested in inbetween
versions, send me a mail and I'll send you the sources.
Mayhem always used GraphSaurus as a pixel editor, so I'm familiar with those
formats. I know many people use AGE/DD instead. Can someone describe those
formats? It stores the palette inside the BSAVE file, doesn't it? And I heard
there is also a compressed format.
Any other formats out there? Or extensions? Currently, I accept ".SR8" and
".SC8" for SCREEN8 and ".SRC" and ".SCC" for SCREEN12. I don't think there is
any confusion with sources and SCC musics, since you don't open them in an
image editor ;)

Object oriented MSX emu, cool!
