Hi.
I found a PC/Windows utility to convert BMP pictures into TS2068/TC2048 multicolor mode (with attributes 8*1).
I got the TAP file now but... I don't know how to display it on the screen. :)
I know it should look like this:

Thanks,
MB

I haven't tried this but you might try LOAD "filename" SCREEN$. SCREEN$ is a keyword on the k key.

Well, yes but as far as I know SCREEN$ will load only the standard picture (in ZX mode).
Hm.
Thank anyway!

You should split file into two parts and use LOAD "" CODE:
16384,6144 (dots)
24576,6144 (attributes)
then OUT 255,2
Addresses are valid in TC2048 machine.
