The splash screen is 8bit but the picture is 12bitB. When I played with it I tried all three possibilities. All worked you just need to change the configuration command on the display.

It took me a while to get the VB6 program to read the file from the converter. The problem was at the end of each line of data VB6 tried to send a "0" which caused the display to be skewed. I finally sorted it out and all was well.

I did not try an external eeprom yet. The color picture was to big to fit into the PBP code. Or at least I could not figure out how to get it in without exceeding the size limit.

It would be easy enough to make a photo album that changes the image every so many seconds/minutes. Maybe someone will put a compact flash or SD ram with this display. I do not think it would be that hard.

I have no real practical application for this screen, I just wanted to see if I could get it to work.

By the way, I used your text macro. Thanks it worked great!
