Here's some good news for you all, homebrew developer Art has released a new update for Bitmap Hunter. This homebrew app is designed to search and directly edit monochrome, 256 color or 16 bit bitmaps within firmware files for quick customization. The new update now supports 16 bit color mode and added more features.

Here's the complete changelog of the release:

Correction to columns field in mono mode.
Fixed speed too fast when selecting a palette with the settings button after program has started.
Added more on screen buttons, and button hiding feature.
Added overlay image feature to help trace pictures.
Added current foreground and background colour indicators.
Removed experimental 32 bit colour mode.
Fixed so Edit mode cannot be selected in 24 bit mode.
Added 16 bit colour mode with editing support which is used by Garmin Colorado and Oregon GPS models.
Program auto detects current Garmin Colorado and Oregon firmwares and sets modes accordingly.
Added palette support for Garmin 60CSx icons under the Find menu.
Program now checks that the selected firmware file is not too large before attempting to load it.
Added feature to load a new file without restarting the program.
Change to program so that it now looks for the file Â“Intro.bmpÂ” when loading 60CSx firmware.
User provided Intro bitmap now checked for correct dimensions and bit depth when loading 60CSx firmware.

Now for the bad news, this release marks the retirement of Art in the PSP scene. It's sad to hear that this day would come but as Art stated he's not really going anywhere, he now wants to focus on other gaming platforms. So we here at QJ.NET wishes Art good luck in your future projects and thanks for all the great releases over the years. Man, I still have Time Baby installed on my PSP and XMB Screensaver.
