Because bmp2tim is an old 16-bit DOS application that does not work on newer systems running 64-bit versions of Windows and that it only supports Windows bitmap images, I created this tool to replace bmp2tim.

This tool supports pretty much any image that the FreeImage library supports. It can use the alpha channel of images that support it (such as png) as a transparency mask which makes transparency management much easier to do.

Attached to this forum post is the tool itself with some documentation and source code included... Report any bugs to this thread if you find any.

Version 0.75 download: http://lameguy64.github.io/img2tim/img2tim_(v0.75).zip

img2tim v0.60 updated to support converting to TIM in 24-bit color depth for BS/STR encoding purposes... Also, source code is now available on Github.

nice work! very handy tool vs using multiple to get formats correct. Thanks

Updated to v0.75 which fixes a bug relating to converting images in 4-bit color depth... 4-bit TIMs should export correctly now to those who have encountered this bug.

Hi. Is it possible to write a converter that will convert .BS to .TIM? Or maybe it already exists? (Not required anymore)

btw. TIM is the most fu**ing format that ever exist. dunno what Sony had in mind to create this Version by a image.

and back to your question. sorry i have no idea. Related to, *.TIM, IT suxxx since it was developed by SONY
