Image to iNES?
by on (#217629)
Is there a program that can convert PNG, GIF, BMP, or even, JPG images to an iNES formatted ROM file? I'm asking because I remember back in 2013 or 2014 using one all the time. If there is one, THANK YOU!

NES Image Converter can do something like that, but the results depend a lot on what kind of input image you feed it.

thefox made a tool a while back, but unfortunately all the links in this thread seem to be dead:

Edit: ha ha, thefox already posted while I was looking up that link. ;)

Thanks! I used to use this utility almost 17 times a day before I forgot the name, then that computer broke, but THANK YOU!!!
