I got an idea that require me to create a bitmap image that can be shown on the c64. 4 color images in a low resolution .. at least 128x128 ..

now what kind of file format would do the trick here? best was that there were viewers that could somehow be embedded in the image so it would be run as a program.

Might not be the best place to ask, but have to try.
 
sweet, now i got the prg header and i found lib that reads this format so it ought to be easy to write that to write to it too.
 
very easy, for example if you use koalalinker, Koala Painter used a fairly simple file format corresponding directly to the way bitmapped graphics are handled on the computer: A two-byte load address, followed immediately by 8000 bytes of raw bitmap data, 1000 bytes of raw "Video Matrix" data, 1000 bytes of raw "Color RAM" data, and a one-byte Background Color field.
