NeoDC, 2017.

License: Respect and dont steal.

This tool will enable you to take a 32x32 image and then transform it into a suitable format to use on a VMU

Little to no error checking is done, no safety is implied. NeoDC is not responsible for anything that happens with this.

Requirements: Webserver+PHP (min 5.2.17.17 i guess, thats what i use) access to files, upload functionality isnt present at this time Web Browser

How to use: STEP 1 - Create the ICONDATA.VMS browse to color_extract.php (working title)

• Ignore errors most likely
• Configure the page: with arguments POST/GET
  • img=king.png (the image to work from, must be 32x32)
  • invert=1/0 (should the B&W icon be inverted) OPTIONAL
  • threshold=0-FF (threshold for visible pixel in B&W image) OPTIONAL
• Ex: color_extract.php?img=flower.png&threshold=55&invert=1

The page will show you:

• The palette it generated (up to 16 colors)
• The B&W icon it generated
• Your original image

Congrats! ICONDATA.VMS has now been created!

• Verify the create image with vms_icondata.php
• This will read your newly created file and display how the dreamcast will

STEP 2 - Create a valid ICONDATA.VMI file (for vmu tools, planetweb browser, etc...) browser to vmi_format.php (working title)

• Page will be blank (its ok!)
• use commands to get stuff done
• Commands:
  • cmd=NONE (nothing)
  • cmd=createVMI (write .VMI with optional parameters)
    • desc=Game_Save (the description for the file, up to 32 characters) OPTIONAL
    • cpy=NeoDC (copyright holder, up to 32 characters) OPTIONAL
    • name=SONIC (filename to write)
    • Ex: vmi_format.php?cmd=writeVMI_ICON&desc=TESTING&cpy=VIETNAM&name=SONIC
  • cmd=writeVMI_ICON (write ICONDATA.VMI with optional parameters)
    • desc=Game_Save (the description for the file, up to 32 characters) OPTIONAL
    • cpy=NeoDC (copyright holder, up to 32 characters) OPTIONAL
    • Ex: vmi_format.php?cmd=writeVMI_ICON&desc=TESTING&cpy=VIETNAM
  • cmd=readVMI (read and display information about a .VMI)
    • name=SONIC (filename to read, becomes [NAME].VMI)
    • Ex: vmi_format.php?cmd=readVMI&name=SONIC

CONGRATS! You are now able to use your .VMI and .VMS whereever you would like
