SPX pictures
Hi
To test a picture file converter I am looking for .SPX files. A spix file is a file with multiple Spectrum 512 pictures creating one big picture. At the moment I have only two .SPX files to test. According to a .SPX viewer source there are multiple formats for .SPX files. Please send me your .SPX files so I can test my program.
I have got a big mailbox so don't be afraid to send big e-mails to:
nyh@suiker.org
Thanks
Hans Wessels

Or post them here and I'll host them on my site for a time if necessary?

I uploaded 5 disks of SPX files today - find them at http://megafile.atari.st (view the text list to see which disk numbers you need)
Yes, I have got them. Two new .SPX type files to work on! Thank you! (Also updates my packer collection. Thank you again!) You have got a nice bandwith.rich wrote:I uploaded 5 disks of SPX files today - find them at http://megafile.atari.st (view the text list to see which disk numbers you need)

I had a quick look and there is a Legion folder on there.

Re: SPX pictures
Sorry for posting in this old thread, but I have exactly the same question. I'm also looking for SPX images to test my viewer tool. Where can I download "The Legion CD 11-53" mentioned in the thread?

You will also find examples at https://sembiance.com/fileFormatSamples ... ctrum512X/
Re: SPX pictures
Thanks, downloaded. I want to say that this is a somewhat specific collection of images

Some files have the "ATM5" signature. Looks like they were packed by some packer. A search for "ATM5" brings up a mention of Atomik Packer. Is there documentation about the decompression algorithm?

Re: SPX pictures
from memory, the ATM5 part could be used with a memory resident depacker that meant you could compress .MOD files etc but still load them as normal in Protracker etc
