OK, I think I have sprites and background working. Can't use the same image for both, the converter need the frames to be left-right for background tiles and up-down for sprite tiles. So I need two different images with the same tiles in them ¯\\_(ツ)*snip*

Simply just want to straighten this up, thinking about designing a skin for my evercade, don't have a scanner anymore so a photo was the best I could do.
It's almost straight already.

Wasnt there a thing Jay made a few years back to texture map a polygon in blitz? I need to un-skew an image and I can't find any software to do it.
