Hey, I need some help with importing portraits I made for CSB emulated under WinUAE. They are saved on an ADF Amiga Disk File image. Could anyone help me import them to CSBWin, and eventually RTC as well ? Thanks !

two ways :
1) extracting the files from your adf image on a mounted directory with 'Amiga in a Box', then use a converter you can find in DM encyclopaedia.
2) my way for doing this because i really don't need/want to install AIIB :
- launch a cool photoshop/psp/gimp
- run winuae in windowed mode (double pixels size) with csb portrait editor, load your portraits, press 'Impr Ecran' key.
- in photoshop/psp/gimp, open a new file and paste the clipboard.
- save regions you want in bmp format = format for RTC

Yeah ! Merci Linflas, that's the kind of solution I was looking for (number 2).

Another way for (1) is to use ADFOpus to get the .CMP files into a Windows folder -- easier than installing and setting up AIAB.

After spending 45 minutes trying to get WinUAE to work, I guess I'll try ADF Opus...

Edit : OK, so now I got my CMP files in a Windows folder, what do I have to do to use them with my saved game ?

I don't think you can use them in CSBWin as the portrait facility wasn't converted. But you can convert them to BMPs for use in RTC, although you would need to double their size in a graphics package.

The CMP -> BMP converter is on the Encyclopedia: http://dmweb.free.fr/Downloads.htm#Tool ... ta%20files

Thanks Gambit, just found this tool, thank you Christophe for making it !

Edit : However, it's not that simple... Christophe's converter creates 8-color bitmaps while RTC uses 256 color bitmaps (not to mention 64x58 pixel dimensions versus 32x29 dimensions obtained with CMP converter). The color palette is completely different...
