Nice pictures, but you could keep the aspect ratio better  :)
@Mr DVG; As much as it pains me to agree with this... ... ... [person]... I have to agree that the aspect ratio needs to be correct. Don't get me wrong, the conversions you've done are great, but they are stretched.


Georgia Salpa, for example should look like this...
EDIT: Or how Devilmarkus did it above! ^_^

I understand!!!  :D

I'm only testing, but the next picture I will try to adjust them with the right aspect ratio, thanks!  ;)

Good idea ;) (Keeping the aspect ratio)

BTW.: The MODE 1 screens I attached, are really in 4 colours only. I call the technic "Overpixel" ;)

I am trying to convert pictures like a color inkjet printer does:

Just by using 3 colours + black (Sadly we only have 4 colours, so I cannot use white)

For example, this is better in terms of the size?

Spot on! Perfect!
Nice use of the CPCnorm palette, as well, it looks really impressive.

Perfect, I'll make the next tests normalized with this aspect ...  ;)

Last for today ... Mode 0 - correct aspect ratio (no zoom) - 16 colors! :)

Sir, is there any chance you could redo the Morrigan image in the correct ratio? It's another great conversion that would just look perfect slightly less stretched!

Ta muchly! ^_^

Btw.: Is here anyone, who could do a scrolling image of 2 overscan pictures?

You should schedule a routine scrolling to move the image from top to bottom (with the buttons or the joystick) who knows how to do?  ;D

tastefulmrship: I'll try to convert the image of Morrigan with the right look, but it will not be well defined and detailed ....  ::)

Unfortunately, that's the disadvantage of our MODE 0 (ie 192x272 pixels). All converted images will lose, at least, 50% of their detail... even when converting 384x272 images!

However, working with what I have (which is absolutely no talent and too much time on my hands) here's a crapo attempt at Morrigan.
(Again, it's not as good as Devilmarkus's double screen, but he's better than me, so...! ^_^)

Thats not true... You often put your manual pixels on your GFX. Thats much cooler than stupid converting JPGs from the internet... ;)

I just do some quick dirty conversions using JavaCPC Paint... No PhotoShop, no Gimp, no anything else...

It is for this reason that sometimes I prefer the format "extended" ... very pretty screen Morrigan, so I also realized I had more or less, but it was not satisfactory at the level of graphical detail ...  ::)

Quite right.

Seeing as these are mock-ups, there's no reason why we can't double the pixels to keep the aspect ratio... but we can "pretend" that this is a double-screen scrolling image on CPCnorm. (My 8-pixel l screen scroller wouldn't count here and I can't be bothered adapting someone else's 1-pixel scroller... so "pretend" it is! ^_^)



(Please DO NOT "like" this post if you were thinking of doing so... please "like" the original post above by Mr DVG. Ta muchly!)



EDIT: Actually, thinking of DARKSTALKERS... my favourite character was always that little mischievous feline! ^_^

Actually, looking into this ConvImgCPC a little further (and once again, top job Demoniak)... we don't need the CPC+ anymore.

Ra's famous Einstein image (from Arte by Sanity)... in CPC+ and ConvImgCPC CPCnorm palettes.
I have to say, really; who needs CPC+ now? ^_^
