| I have a .8xi file and I want to put it in my ASM program, but I'm not sure how. I tried looking at it with notepad, but it's just jibberish. Any suggestions? |

You'll need to extract the binary picture data from the 8xi (with a hex editor, or a program you write yourself to do it), then convert it to statements which mean something to the assembler (.db).
The TI File Format Guide is a great reference to have around for things like this. |

| yeah, but it's not in hex. There are y with accents and lots of other nonHex things. |

Whew... Okay, I got it all figured out.
Download Sproit from ticalc
Use the TI Screen Capture to open the 8xi file. Ticonnect has this included.
Use The Gimp to capture the displayed image (using File - Aquire - Screenshot). Save as a .bmp file.
Open BMP with Paint. Resave as a Monochrome BMP.
Convert with Sproit. (Sproit image.bmp output.txt)
Smile! |

| You probably saw the ASCII characters and not the hex value. |

| bfr, you're right. The converter can be used instead of the second and third steps. |

| I'm pretty sure that TIScreenCapture can save images in several different formats as well (the ones I remember are BMP and JPG). |

whoops... I didn't realize till now that the stuff Sproite gives you is for a wide screen (85/86/89 etc). For the 83+ family, you would need ASMGFX which is actually superior to Sproite.
So, As a refresher, the steps are
Use this converter to transform the 8xi into a PNG.
Use ASMGFX to transform it to Assembly code.
Much easier then the 5 steps earlier. |
