   @root @globalc Maybe there's some C64 image viewer that can read and display a bmp or gif file?

   If I can find a good one, I'll use it to load my mugshot and then take a screenshot 😏

     First time I hear of this SuperCPU... it's an accelerator card for the C64 based on a 20MHz 8/16-bit processor with a 6502 backwards-compatibility mode:

     Wow, there was even a jpeg decoder...
     ...and it's blazingly fast! 😲

     I was thinking the same.. or maybe there was an "established" picture format for the c64, aimed at efficiency for the c64, converting to that could also help.
     bmp spends 3 byte per pixel, that's crazily much for what the c64 can actually do.
