Short: NES Development Graphics Tools Author: Chris Covell (ccovell@direct.ca) Uploader: Chris Covell Version: 1.0 Type: misc/emu NESDevTools is a small collection of Amiga tools which make development of NES games and demos easier. They manipulate graphics to make for easier creation of CHR-ROM and NAM Table data. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in Version 1.0 of the collection are: Raw2CHR: Converts Raw Interleaved graphics data into the NES' CHR format. CHARlie: Compresses and optimizes NES CHR-ROM data. CHR2NAM: Creates a Name Table for you from an input image and CHR file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read the documentation for each program for a better idea of what the programs can do. Or, you can visit my web page for graphical examples of what the programs can do. C source code for the programs are included. You may compile your own versions of the programs, or make improvements as you see fit. Just note that the original author of these programs is me (Chris Covell), and that I am not responsible for how you use these programs or their derivatives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other things of mine which you should check out are: pix/anim/AmiBanner.lha ;An animating GIF banner that supports Amiga. pix/boot/Win95BURN.lha ;My Windows'95 trasher.
