Homebrew developers for Nintendo's Wii console have just gotten another tool to add to their arsenal: PNGU v0.1c, a set of functions that comes with a Wii port of libpng.
The .png format has a few advantages over the jpeg format such as alpha channels and transparency colors, so devs will probably appreciate this library. Here's a look at what PNGU can do at this stage:
* Loads png files from buffer or front SD cardP.
* Decompress png files and convert them to YCbYCr, RGBA8, 4x4 RGB565, 4x4 RGB5A3 and 4x4 RGBA8 formats.
* Only tested with png files in RGB8 format (but it's probably that works well with others png formats like RGBA8)
The archive includes a readme file, but unfortunately it's in Spanish.
