[edit] Notes
[edit] MSX Screen Converter
MSX Screen Converter is a online converter.
It converts common image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF) to MSX BLOAD format..
It accepts for output: Screen 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12.
[edit] PIC2MSX and PICMSX
PIC2MSX is a GUI converter for Windows.
PICMSX is a command-line converter for Windows.
It also accepts BMP for input.
It also accepts Screen 3 for output.
Likewise, it doesn't need any Internet!
[edit] MSXViewer5 Screen Converter (MarMSX)
It's a GUI Windows app...
It also has a Linux version.
It can show MSX BLOAD images.
It also accepts Screen 10 for output. But the Screen 12 images converted by PICMSX look more natural than the Screen 10 images converted by this program.
GScreen 25 images LOOK WAY MORE NATURAL than Screen 10 and 12 images (converted with both programs (PICMSX and MSXViewer5 Screen Converter)).
It also accepts V9990 GScreen and SymbOS formats for output.
But it needs a set of DLLs to work for the Windows version, which you can download from here: [1]
