HermIRES v1.28 C64 hires-bitmap editor

HermIRES it’s a cross-platform hires bitmap (Art Studio 1 format) editor for the Commodore 64.

The format has some restrictions, here are the rules:

  • The maximal resolution of the picture is 320×200
  • Only 16 fix C64 colours can be used (no gradient either)
  • In a 8×8 pixel-block only 2 colours can used to be displayable by C64 (this is detected in HermIRES, but .hbm files can be saved with clashes too.)
  • On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.

Changelog:

  • Gave 45 pixel taskbar-height for GUI-size auto-detector (more tolerance)
  • LoadVPL() is now before LoadFile() in ‘main’ (by commandline-argument or from config-setting) so opening .png/.bmp at startup is converted correctly with the latest palette.
  • Caption name now doesn’t contain the extra letter at the end (string-delimiter 0 was put in wrong place by loop)

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and
    appearance. I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this.

    Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Exceptional Blog!
