Bitmaps to hardware sprites

mcgeezer · 08 September 2020, 21:13

I know this might seem like a crazy question but does anyone know of a utility that converts bitmap sprites to Amiga hardware sprite format data?

I'm in yet another situation where I have to take a skeleton routine I have and turn a 4 colour bitmap into hardware sprites (32px wide).

Surely someone must have created a util somewhere that takes either a 4 colour or 16 colour bitmap and converts it to hardware sprite data?

If not I'll just do another conversion routine - but it's a right pain.

Kefcon can also do this.

There's also AGAiff (which does OCS/ECS graphics as well, despite the name).
