I've installed Windows 3.1 on one of my Retro Machine's compact flash cards, and I am running into a strange issue: I can't seem to convert any of my desktop wallpapers to a BMP file that is compatible with Windows 3.1!
I've done a bit of research, and found out that there have been several different revisions of the BMP file format, but I'm using a tool (imagemagick) that is supposed to be able to handle this. E.g. "convert image.jpg -format bmp3 image.bmp".
I know that Windows 3.1 only supports 4, 8 or 24-bit color images, but I have tested both 24 and 8 bit images without any success.
Is anyone else doing this, and have you found something that works?
