8-BIT Graphic Coder for the MSX2

Source: MSX Banzai!

Vampier has released a useful graphic editor he developed in cooperation with BiFi. The 8-BIT Graphic Coder for the MSX2 (cutely to be named GraCo from now on) is available as a ROM image from this website.

For a nice preview of the editor you can have a look on YouTube, where a late beta version can be seen in action right here. The video also serves as a nice tutorial of the editor.
