Could CH be made so we can size images instead of it doing them all 400x198

Its Just a suggestion, if I could write code like this I would help but this is beyond my capabilities

Convers+ IMG Hacker v1.2.1 - 06-01-2020
### Fixed
- Fix show images that have more than 32.767 bytes
- Fix calculating offset for InFileBGR
- Fix saving path and name for FrameBuffer Screenshots


For now, we will stick only with the LOGO images.
Having other images for Menus for example will have to be very well thought as the images need to be very small in order not to kill the CPU (MAC7116) with too much image processing work - the Logos are only shown on boot, when there are not so many things for C+ to do.

Open your bin file with HxD. Go to Analysis -> Checksums.. then in the new window choose "CRC-16/CCITT-FALSE" then press OK.
It should give you "582B" (for this file).
Go to the end of the file (still in HxD) and press with the mouse just after "95 8E" then write with the keyboard "582B". Depending on the settings of HxD it might warn you that this will change the size of the file, ignore it and agree to continue (you can check to never inform you about this).
Now your file should have a new line with only these 2 bytes you have just written.
Next step is to open in HxD a VBF file for Extended Flash of Convers+ and copy it's header by selecting the HEX bytes portion (left side in HxD), from beginning until you see the same Flash header as in your file: 7C C7 55 AA AA 55 C7 (so last character you select should be the one in front of 7C). Press Ctrl+C, go to the window with your BIN file, press with mouse at the beginning of file, again HEX side, just before 7C and then Ctrl+V.
Now you can save the file with VBF extension.
If you have VBF Tool then you can check that everything is ok by opening this file. If no error, then you can use the VBF with IPC Updater or other VBF uploading tool.

I'm also adding the finished file here, but try to do it by yourself.

Hi Ursadon, if you're bored, try implementing multiple image changes in the "Help Screen" section of another version of ConversHacker ...
The boys have already come up with the great idea of ​​converting still images into pseudo-animation. It would be nice if the selection was marked with a number and Convershacker was able to replace these images when selecting an image from a computer.
Of course, this can be solved manually, but among other settings you can think ...
Basically, I wanted to thank you for the great work and return to this forum. Thanks to you, you are moving a lot of things that definitely include “Thanks”

The idea is good, unique.
when there is free time, I will try to experiment in this direction, if no one else does it before.

At the moment, we are putting final touches on the new Convers IMG hacker release with DGAlexandru, then I plan to continue develop IPCupdate in order to cover all the modules and create a free analogue of UCDS. Of course, with the help of members of the forum ;)
