Actualy i have some small PNG which i was converting to zx-bmp style, al in basic.
I have done halve of the oric "space:1999" pictures and got stuck on the png.
so if z88dk had some native READERS i would be a happy coder.
and thode file or not necesary big. and probably both jpg and png come with different versions, over the years.
finaly, for my gigascreen simulator it would be nice to have a reader aswel.
i dont mind its slow
did you ever wait a FULL 128 game on real speed, on a real zx spectrum? thats more then 10 minutes waiting, just waiting.
i understand the overlaying problem called size and limits, but a 20kb png will probably fit in most z80 holding targets.
maybe only a small window within has to 'unfold' if possible.
but a jpg with a big huffman tree is probably not possible, i agree.
here is at least an reference page off the official png format
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
maybe some old code will fit the bill
personaly i am stuck in my basic and mc projects and have only slow progress in c.
meanwhile i keep reading and trying to sharpen my brain, again.
maybe a C_MALLOC_BRAIN
or finishing some old shit to clear my memory?
well
CONTINUE for now then
