Image to 8bits NES style!!!

Hey guys!!!

I just finished a tool for people who want to make a game or something with the style of a machine of 8bit (like NES of Nintendo or GameGear of SEGA).
In fact, transform the original image using color palette original of the NES.

It's pretty simple to use and with good results.

PD: I'm sorry that my website is only in Spanish, but I have not had much time to have it in English (coming soon).

Happy downloads!!!
Bye

I have some problems unpacking the archive.

I use 7zip to compress files, with compression Bzip2 compresses better but it gives problems.

I have once again raised with standard compression method, sure it works.

I`m using WinRaR. This one unpacks runs fine. Thanks!

dont you think its ironic we have to deal with compression issues for software that changes images into an antiquated style which would never need compression in todays software and hardware?

Rhymes with moronic... who the hell uses winrar nowadays?

I'd use it if I would be on windows just because I know it from so old times.

the best compression ratio is achieved using .7z file format.

anyway you can improve it a lot.. what about using some dithering tecnique to improve image quality?

Yes, that's why I use Nanozip normally... but the best way to pack things with Nanozip is self-extracting executable, so people don't have to download Nanozip themselves... but some people find self-extracting archives suspicious, and the difference between Nanozip an 7z is not that big

What, no lrzip in that comparison?

OMG

I announce the creation of a program and finish talking about compression programs, this is unusual

The best, I think it is 7zip, is free and complete.
Winrar is to pay and I do not like.
NanoZip this experimental phase and appears to be another compressor more.

On the contrary, I think it's quite usual
