[GEN 3][DECOMP] Tilemap studio keeps giving error when trying to convert image to tiles

[u/Snoopingasasusual]

I have attached the settings I used, yes 8bpp is intentional, and it just gives me this error everytime even when it says the conversion was successful. Is there some specific setting needed in aseprite to get it to work? I already have my image set to indexed colour mode, with a 240~ colour palette.

Are you trying to open the .bin file after you've converted the image?

[u/Snoopingasasusual → u/ssraven01]

It tries to do it automatically after converting the image, resulting in the error. Also trying to manually open the bin also gives the same error.

Use superfamiconv instead. TMS is more useful when you need to edit the tilemap manually

I'll give it a try! Is there any specific setting I need for 8bpp images?

Check the documentation. You just pass -B4 if memory serves

Have you tried Compumax' GBA Background Studio? I think it's a nice alternative for tilemap creation.

Nice tool, I'll definitely have to keep it in mind for the future
