I have seen bitmap (windows), bitmap (GBA/DS), 4bpp and 8bpp GBA standard, jpeg as well as PNG all used.

Don't you have to use tiled graphics?

 

[FAST6191]

Everything ends up tiled eventually but it is not that difficult to tack on some real time decoding (there are many libraries that do it for you) and use a standard format.

Don't forget PCX!

And the resoultion is 256 x 192 right?
If I was going to do a static background in Photoshop at 256x192 ...what dpi should I do it at? 72dpi?

Thanks.

I think PCX is most common :S Atleast with GBA...
When I did some small games, I made pictures in photoshop, which had to be saved as PCX and then converted to a h-file and a c-file (C (prequel to C++) and it's header)...

Yes, 72 dpi....
