Graphics > BMP to gba

I need a good program to convert a BMP image into a gba image(to show in mode 4). Wich programs do you recomend? I dont want the program to create tiles or sprites of the image.

If you just want to look at them and you have an F2A cart:
Use PogoShell and just toss a bunch of bitmaps in a folder.

Otherwise:
A long time ago, I made "freemirror" that includes a very rudimentary image converter and viewer. Get it from my GBA page if you want it.

gfx2gba works nicely.

gfx2gba -D -fsrc -ppicture.pal -t1 picture.bmp

Outputs C arrays with the necessary information using that command line (other options include raw and asm).
