Maybe you can try NeoTile
From Chris Ahchay's blog, a tutorial: https://ahchayblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/19/ill-get-you-my-pretty/
There is a link to his one drive to download the software.

You can use any software that allow you draw in pixel art, something like Photoshop, PyxelEdit, Paint, etc. To convert an image to a compatible ngpc c code, you can use this software that I made.

It seems to be related to "Required parameters":r
Code:
FILEPATH give de complete path of the tiled image.
PLANE sets the destination plane of the console. Possible options
are PS = SPRITE_PLANE, P2 = SCR_2_PLANE, P1 = SCR_1_PLANE.
RGBCOLOR1 a minimun required color. Sets the R G B color without
Alpha channel. Format => R,G,B. Example 128,2,88.bitmap2ngp.exe ./tiledImage.png PS 68,68,68 100,145,255 255,0,0
Reading the product documentation is sometimes useful...

Hey sodthor or KeiDash,
Could you guys help NeoGeoFreak2004? I haven't done this for many years now.
I assume that bitmap2ngpc is outputting a .c or .h file.
Then, as they mention in https://ahchayblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/19/ill-get-you-my-pretty/, you can do something like [#include "faces.c"] in your C code. Is that correct?
I just looked at https://github.com/ameliandev/Bitmap2NGP and it seems to have options (-I, -P, -D) that generate some code that are not just a header like the "I'll get you" article shows.
NeoGeoFreak2004, maybe you can post the output that bitmap2ngpc produced and the commandline you used.

Sorry i don’t remember what the command was but I know the output, it outputted a .c file for the converted sprite.
RE: How to create Sprites For NGPC? - Flavor - 10-01-2022
I assume the .c file will have the sprite (as an array) and maybe some code to load the sprite.
