Software
- Konvertor
- RECOIL
- MSX Screen Converter
- PIC2MSX (GUI) and PICMSX (CMD)
- MSXViewer5 Screen Converter (MarMSX)
- views MSX BLOAD images and also converts common image formats to MSX BLOAD format.
- accepts the same set of input formats as PIC2MSX / PICMSX.
- also accepts Screen 10 for output in addition to Screen 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12. But the Screen 12 images converted by PICMSX look more natural than the Screen 10 images converted by this program.
- also accepts V9990 GScreen and SymbOS formats for output.
- it needs a set of DLLs to work, download: [1]
