well yes, most (if not all) converters are for full screen gfx.

atleast in c64 world there is one that supports arbitrary sizes though - the 
godot clip format, which by itself pretty much is a device independend bitmap 
format (simple 4bpp linear bitmap). then again, i dont think anything besides 
godot itself supports it - and its not very useful for generic applications 
either (because it must be converted to native format before it can be 
displayed).

The weirder you are going to behave, the more normal you should look... When I 
see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely 
nothing extraordinary about that person.
