MiniPOV4 - Making images

Post by stevemagicianful »

HI all,
When using the MiniPOV4, I want to make my own images. Now, the tutorial says to use software which uses 8-bit color, for best results. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get some free software, which has this property. Thanks in advance.

Any paint program will be able to do this.

I just put together this kit recently and found a site called make8bitart.com. It works pretty well but I can't figure out how to size it properly. When I save out a file it has almost 3x the dimensions as the example files provided. I'm using an old insert in a Nintendo Power magazine for the game Mario Paint as my design inspiration. It has the pixel layouts for Mario, Link, Metroid and a few others. Fun times!
