Latest Update

Right now, I don’t do any checking, so it is very possible the PNG will not fit into SRAM. (I think standard SRAM size is 32KB or 64KB, I’m not sure…I’ve made a png drawing of over 100KB once.) To keep sizes low, don’t use the smudge tool. Again…let me know if it works, and I will combine sram saving with saving to file on cf/sd in the next release.

Instructions:

  1. Draw a squiggle
  2. Press Y to save to SRAM
  3. Dump SRAM to your PC using flash cart software
  4. Rename the .sav file to a .png file, and try to open it
  5. Post a comment back here saying if it worked or not

I have a flashcard and it wont run. >.> Why dont you allow SRAM saving and have proc.exe process .sav files as well? That would make me and others very happy. Think of the flashcard users man!

A few suggestions (that I'm sure you've already thought of) from little 'ol me: [easy?] - To allow the brush to be made as large as you want, would be good for creating washes of colour. - To place a little cross-hair on the swatches panel, so you can see where the current selected colour is. - When coming out of the swatches panel automatically switch it from picker (I lost so many colours that way!). [hard?] - Opening up other files, and being able to name them when saving would be great. - Being able to set the alpha of a colour would be good too - To get around the whole canvass size thing, it would be *great* to have an overview in the top screen, which you can switch to for selecting your zoomed view. Generally, any kind of zooming would be neeto. [bugs?] - The fill bucket seems a little confused for me, It wont fill over another fill. - On my DS i have an area to the top right that produces 'crazy jumping lines' 99% sure it's just my screen being a bit worn, but it might be something else. Again amazing work, really looking forward to the next version... ;) Amazing work, I just love it - it’s what the nds was designed for!

I could resize it down for you, but I give you the higher res one so you have the option. btw, nice eye! To TheYak:
