Well, someone suggested I make a image viewer/converter that supports modern image formats. So I cobbled some code together and here we are:

@dec_hl … but make it run on 386s 😅

@elosha it should, you just need enough RAM :)

@dec_hl @elosha
There's some challenge in decoding modern pictures on vintage computers. RAM is one that you can workaround as long as you have enough ram to decode horizontal bands and downscale on the fly 🙂
Another one is raw cpu power and algorithms that play well with vintage cpus limitations.

@colin_mcmillen @dec_hl @elosha well, I never promised „fast“ and the ram usage is heavily influenced by the image size 🤣
