Does anyone have a copy of img2prime that used to be able to be found at: http://www.mirari.fr/rPwG (made using PureBasic)

It was created by Deeph and passed around Omnimaga around 2013. A screenshot showing a sprite from it is on the 4th post from the bottom on this page: https://www.omnimaga.org/news/hp-prime-p...ograms/30/

It allowed the user to output sprites with transparent pixels encoded in them.

I have tried Tim Wessman's Graphic Creator DIMGROB generator, but it results in white pixels instead of transparent pixels, surrounding the sprite.

You can get it from archive.org. I will add it to my site soon.

I downloaded what is hosted on the Wayback machine at http://www.mirari.fr/rPwG and it is an unknown file, renaming it to .exe or .pb did not work (.pb because it was apparently written in Purebasic).

Do you have a link to the place that you can download it from?

It is a really, really bad way to do it though.

Those images get loaded in to memory and stay permanently every time you boot. Either using an application so you can use AFiles, or the new "project" type of program that lets you embed read only, image, binary data is a better way to go.

That file is a zip file. Just rename it to img2prime.zip and it will work fine. However, the .exe gave a virus warning from Windows Defender. It was probably a false alarm, but just in case it wasn't I recompiled it from the included source code before adding it to my site.
