HAM conversion

[matburton]

Are you looking for something like ham_convert?

Paint Shop Pro 5+ Saves as IFF (ILBM)

But I just did a quick test and Multi-view
showed a mixed up mess --- maybe datatypes not up-to it.

Just tried Visage it said:
Error in Picture --- Bad Data
ViewTek and FastView just showed a mess
PPShow 4 worked but some-what degraded

It just show up as a JAR archive

JAR is not exactly an archive, it's a Java application container. You need Java to run it.

Lnx Amiga Image Converter

I have spent DAYS looking for Rhett Anderson's original Sliced HAM / SHAM encoder without success. Does anyone know where it is? I tried encoding SHAMs using GIFMachine and SuperSHAM but none of thje files can be viewed with Anderson's shamview program. He distributed it through Compute! back in the day. I tried Amiga Resource's V image viewer and Anderson's suggestion, but it cannot view any of these images, either.

I am attempting to view them on an NTSC A1000 and A2000 020.

Thanks.

FYI, I used Ham Converter to make this slideshow:

A No Man's Sky tribute of sorts...

Back in the day I thought about creating a HAM converter that could also generate a copper list to assist with the display.

I don't know how poking colour registers half way through a line affects HAM, presumably they are read for every base colour pixel. You could get a lot more base colours with a massive copper list and static image.

Okay, I was mistaking HAME for SHAM and originally recommended Imagemaster but I think I remember it right this time. HamLab Plus 2.1.0 can encode SHAM images displayable with COMPUTE!'s "V" 2.1 on an OCS/ECS machine.
