But how did you create the palettes x1.pal .. ? 
Did you use a binary editor ? 
In this case, how can i export the colors values to build this x1.pal ? 


Done, thanks again. 
But how did you do generate the 4 .pcx pictures from the original pcx ? 
I'm searching on psp, but i just found a split channel effect, but i only obtain B&W pictures... 

Reponse 
it's "easy", 

use paintshop: 
- load a picture and dec colors to 1+n*15 colors (mine is 60c + black), 1st color must be #000000 (black) 
- save this picture as *.lbm (amiga) to convert palette from #ffffff to fff# (not visible and it's not import) 
- reload it, - set colors 17-256 to black & save it to x1.pcx 
- reload, now set 1-16 & 32-256 to black, dec colors to 16, inc to 255 (colors now reordered to 1-16, 1st should by black) and save it to x2.pcx 
- reload, now set 1-31 & 47-256 to black, dec colors to 16, inc to 255 (colors now reordered to 1-16, 1st should by black) and save it to x3.pcx 
- reload, now set 1-46 & 62-256 to black, dec colors to 16, inc to 255 (colors now reordered to 1-16, 1st should by black) and save it to x4.pcx

best paintprogramm for use with neogeo is dpaint in winuae (same 15bit-pallete).

Actually, i cut a 320x208 pixel background in 260 tiles of 15 colors. 
But i don't really know how i can put those tiles in the neogeo format. 
I suppose your 4 pcx pictures are coded in the C rom ? 

Thanks.

- i believe the neoscreen is 320x240 but with a black boarder of 8x8 fix-tiles so only 304x224 is visible. a picture with 304x224 is enough! 

- take a look at gfx/###make.bat, i've used a small and free tool named TILENG (not by me/ cdoty?) to convert a 256color pcx-file (only first 16colors used). i've uploaded it...

Actually, i'm trying to change the program for a 8 layers picture. 
Can you help me just a little bit: 
I have change the setup palette routine like this : 

SetupPalette: 

lea $400000, a0 ; no change 
lea Palettes, a1 
move.w #$8, d7 ; D7 = $8 (4 befor) 

with this include files: 

Palettes: 

INCBIN "gfx\font.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x1.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x2.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x3.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x4.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x5.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x6.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x7.pal" 
INCBIN "gfx\x8.pal" 
EndPalettes: 

ALIGN 4 


Is this correct ? 

I add at the end of the main loop, 4 blocks of code like this one: 

move.w #$8080, d0 ; starting sprite 
move.w #8, d2 ; starting y_pos 
move.w #0, d3 ; starting x_pos 
jsr init_layer 
move.w #$8080, d0 ; starting sprite 

move.w #$2000, d2 ; 
move.w #1024, d7 ; tile 
move.w #5, d6 ; palette 
add.w #1024, d7                  << to remove
jsr fill_layer 

nextblk: 
move.w #$80A0, d0 ; starting sprite 
move.w #8, d2 ; starting y_pos 
move.w #0, d3 ; starting x_pos 
jsr init_layer 
move.w #$80A0, d0 ; starting sprite 

move.w #$2800, d2 ; 
move.w #1280, d7 ; tile 
move.w #6, d6 ; palette 
add.w #768, d7                  << to remove
jsr fill_layer 

And two other like this ^^ 
But the new 4 blocks doesn't work  
Any advice ? 
thx
