- Description
- The P64 file format, also known as Picasso 64, is specifically designed for use with Commodore 64 (C64) emulation software. It represents a type of image file that captures the unique graphics capabilities of the Commodore 64, including its characteristic color palette and resolution. P64 files are utilized to store and display graphics in a format that faithfully replicates the visual output of C64 software and games when viewed on modern hardware through emulators. This format allows enthusiasts and developers to preserve and share Commodore 64 graphics with accuracy and nostalgia.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
