If you don''t want to code something yourself, theres loads of utilities for GBA programming that will do exactly that. Even though they''re intended for GBA code, they basically just output a C file with the raw data in it.

Try Gfx2Gba from http://www.devrs.com/gba/software.php for a start, theres others out there that might be more suitable though.

This sounds great, thanks. I will try it.

You could include it as a resource. When you compile your project, it''ll be embedded in the executable.

Also, I believe The GIMP (gimp.org) has the option of saving to a ''.c format'' file. It then prompts you for a variable name, and volia, it exports it to C code, just the raw bytecodes if I remember.

Of course, this will mean you''ll have to manually set the width/height variables of the image...

@RuneLancer: I dont want to include it as resoucre - should later compil with many compilers on win and linux.

@MaulingMonkey: Oh Gimp - i will try it also. width/height is no problem.
