ROM Hack How to open .bimg images?

[Asia81]

Hi.

I extract a CIA (ShaunTheSheep15Videos.cia) and, for each episodes inside, there is some .bimg files, who are banner image:

But I can't open, neither Every File Explorer or Ohana3DS (in the texture tab) can't open them.

So if someone of you know how to open this format, it will be appreciable if you let us know how.

Thanks.

I uploaded some samples here:

They just look like thumbnails for the video. I wouldn't worry about them as long as the vids play fine.

Wouldn't you select the thumbnail in the encoder?

Are 2d images? Whats the first 4 bytes of one of these files?

Yes, they are.

I guess I don't even know what is a thumbnail xD

Thumbnail = miniature picture = preview picture, etc

I think I know how to convert that to PNG (and reverse too), but I'm not home right now, so if you wait... [emoji14]

From 0x00 to 0x20 there is the header, which saves the width and height of the image and the format, then from 0x20 to the end I think it's the real raw image data

Do every file explorer shows an error when trying to open it, or it does nothing?

 

[Asia81]

does just nothing :/

if it helps you figure out the format, here is a little crappy botch job bimg file i made with a screenshot of it for referencing

It looks like a bit map of some sort, possibly 16 bit color. Try playing around with yy-chr, to see which settings best display the image (it's great for 4bpp images, not sure about anything else).

 

[Asdolo]

Can you send me the bimg file?

first post

Did it, it's a 200x120 px image. Make your own on photoshop or where you want. No transparency. I'm making a import-export tool

 

[Asdolo]

Try this.

You should just use the buttons and the format RGB565.
The image comes with a black borders, just ignore them in photoshop when editing. It seems that the real image in the CIA doesn't show the black borders.

You're welcome, that hack looks amazing! Here is the source code.

Edit: Here's a new repo of the source. It's not my user, but I totally approve.
