A utility for converting PC  .GIF files to CPC screen format.

Another excellent French program that I would have given your arm and leg for had I known about it in the nineties.
In the video you will see two PC .GIF files being loaded, displayed, converted and then saved as 17K CPC screens. After this I Run the Advanced OCP Art Studio to display the converted files. 
If you wanted to use the converted files in a slideshow or demo the best option would be to save sections of these screens as Art Studio 'Windows' files thereby saving disc space.

Not emulated - original hardware and software.
Please note that  the aspect ratio for this YouTube video is 16:9 but the CPC monitor
has an aspect ratio of 4:3 so you may wish to adjust your viewing device accordingly.

I didn't know about this particular one until yesterday but there is it least one other.
