NESDevTools is a small collection of Amiga tools which make development
of NES games and demos easier.  They manipulate graphics to make for easier
creation of CHR-ROM and NAM Table data.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Included in Version 1.0 of the collection are:

Raw2CHR:    Converts Raw Interleaved graphics data into the NES' CHR format.

CHARlie:    Compresses and optimizes NES CHR-ROM data.

CHR2NAM:    Creates a Name Table for you from an input image and CHR file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Read the documentation for each program for a better idea of what the
programs can do.  Or, you can visit my web page for graphical examples
of what the programs can do.

C source code for the programs are included.  You may compile your own
versions of the programs, or make improvements as you see fit.  Just note
that the original author of these programs is me (Chris Covell), and
that I am not responsible for how you use these programs or their
derivatives.
