Hi!
Since I'll perhaps try my skills on a VCS 2600 too...
And I think the playfields are really weird to draw...
Yesterday I wrote a small utility that convert PCX files to ASM data files,
ready for use in 6502 ASM code.
(bit oriented, now colors supported for now)
It works allright for me, but I don't know what formats are needed.
It was hacked together in only a couple of hours and is based on a library I
wrote some time ago, therefor it IS a bit bloated.
The source and binary and examples can be downloaded at:
