Super Bubble Builder is a PC application for Windows XP or higher that creates stylish individual bubbles for retro games on PlayStation Vita.

User guide

Super Bubble Builder comes in a .zip file. Inside is Super Bubble Builder's folder.

The assets subfolder contains sample images and a PNG palette reducer. To make a bubble with the app, use either all 3 images or only icon0.png. The images must be .png files and must be the correct size.

Required and optional image sizes:

  • 128x128 PNG with 256 palette named icon0.png.
  • 280x158 PNG with 256 palette named startup.png (optional).
  • 840x500 PNG with 256 palette named bg.png (optional).

Place the images in the assets folder before running Super Bubble Builder. If startup.png or bg.png are missing, it will proceed with only icon0.png, and the Vita will generate the rainbow background.

To reduce a PNG's palette to 256, drag it to the batch script in the assets folder called Drag PNG here to reduce palette to 256.bat.

If the images in the GUI are messed up, right click the program and choose: Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings, enable Override high DPI scaling behavior performed by: and set it to System.
