I'm looking for a program to convert bmp images to msx, Bmp2Msx more or less does this
(http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~hra/software/bmptomsx/index.htm) but I need a program that convert multiple image in batch mode, does anything know of such a program or understand the script mode in bmp2msx ?

mm.. I think Nyyrikki may have an answer to that, as he -iirc- also used bmp2msx to convert his Dragon's Lair video.

i'll answer my own question, with vitualdub you can convert a avi to a series of bmp's and by selecting the correct setting in bmp2msx settings-screen and drag-dropping the whole series onto the bmp2msx window, you can convert each frame to the correct screen!

If you need conversion to screen 2,
I suggest to instead this tool

http://ragozini.googlepages.com/dithering

It should allow better quality (specially the one with the perceptually uniform metric).
The execs can be used in a dos batch files, while, if you can code and compile C, you can
customize the I/O, the palette and what you like for your needs.

I have a preliminary BMP to MSX1 converter. But I need to adjust some things in the software. At this stage this only works for "monochrome" (1-bit images), but the final files are saved into a binary format that could be loaded using the MSX1 BLOAD command. It uses some memory from BASIC to store the graphics ...

There could be a version to create slide shows or display different screens from RAW binary files. Supports 128KB or more of graphics, but the routines are not optimized for use on memory ...

Basically, it is the same as displaying characters. But with redefined patterns or in full screen graphic mode.
