However, I had a set back this weekend, so it looks like its gonna be a 7800 video. Still Atari. And The Atari.io button will make an appearance!

StormSurge Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 AF, believe me when I tell you that if I can do it, you can do it. I have ZERO technical skills. I'm the least handy person you will ever meet. You'll breeze through it. This should be the benchmark for any DIY projects on here. "Can StormSurge do this?" If yes, it's SIMPLE. If no, it still may be easy for 90% of you but not for SS. RickR, The Professor and Arenafoot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you guess what games they're from without hovering your mouse over? Yeah I missed #1 and #4, but when I saw what games they were from, it made sense as I haven't spent much time on those two. I do have #1, I might be missing #4, but I would like to get it one day to review.

RadioPoultry Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Missed #1 and #4. Those are neat! How did you do that? I ran the games in an emulator (Stella), and repeatedly took screen captures. I picked out the ones that had all the frames I needed, and then used a paint program to get the pieces and make small adjustments (for example, sprites that didn't show up well against white I made slightly darker). After saving each frame as an individual GIF, I used http://gifmaker.me/ to make them into a single animated GIF. There are other sites for making animated GIFs, but this was the only one I found that was handling transparency correctly.
