[Lethe]

i tried to use a gif image for my windups background but it just shows up as a blur or a negative? what is this gp32 palette format i've been hearing about?

8 bit indexed color.

There is a specific 256 color palette that it uses.

Download this PNG image and look at its palette.

That image contains the "standard" 256 color GP32 palette.

...and boy, does it suck! I was going to do a gMame icon, but I shan't bother now. I knocked together a quick Gamepark spiral with "Mame" slapped across it. Tried to work with that palette and it just looks a mess.

The default palette is not crap. If you know anything about programming, you will realise that the GP32 default palette is actually a color look up table. It's layed out that way so that 24bit/16bit colors can be convereted into a palette index on the fly.

The thing is, the palette is able to be changed, and also there is a very nice 16bit mode. A program like Windups should definatly be using 16bit as there is no real benefit for using 8bit when speed is really not a major consideration. I am exclusively using 16bit color, and although its slower to manipulate than 8bit, it's not significantly slower.

No I don't think it's crap at all I'm just slightly irrated at the possibilty of my icons not working, please can you tell me.
