Most of my compilers and tools for genesis are Windows so a Windows version would be very handy. My nightmare is trying to properly register the 16 colors of my images (in other tools). Also, tools incorrectly quantizing imported images (i.e. picking a purple color for water when I have a blue color in the palette).
I had similar frustrations. There's a logical error in v.0.0.1 that I've fixed where the color quantization happened after the channel translation. I'll post an update asap. Thanks for your interest!
I have just released a tool that should solve some of the issues with mapping the Mega Drives palette to an image: https://dieskaarj.itch.io/blast-o-rama
That looks very interesting! Is there any way to include the Imagemagick .dll with your software? Despite trying several things on Imagemagicks website and several web searches I can't get the utility to run in Windows 10.
As a stop gap, I have compiled nearly every library that I can think it needs into the new zip. I am going to reconfigure ImageMagick so that most so this will not be required in future. But, for the meantime this should work.
Including all those .dll files did the trick. The exported file is something I'll have to figure out. Seems to have a whole bunch of RGB values. Many more entries than just 16 colors.

I'm looking into it! Thanks.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
