  GrafX2 is a bitmap paint program inspired by the Amiga programs Deluxe Paint and Brilliance. Specialized in 256-color drawing, it includes a very large number of tools and effects that make it particularly suitable for pixel art, game graphics, and generally any detailed graphics painted with a mouse. The program is mostly developed on Linux and Windows, but is also portable on many other platforms.

It was OK on previous cores.
Couldn't find the reason of dark screen yet.

Oh I like GrafX2. I've made some nice "plugins" for it targeted for my favorite 8bit machine. EXTERNAL LINK

@Artur, maybe you can fix two thinks in Netsurf. At A1k.org my Avatar will not shown and if you use advanced smileys i get everytime an 404 error. Both works well with every other browser like Ibrowse, Chrome etc.

    Hope Graphx2 will be fixed!

Graphx2 feats

Overall feats
EXTERNAL LINK 
    "Designed to look like something running on the Commodore Amiga but with all the modern conveniences, Grafx 2 is pitched as "The ultimate 256-color painting program."
   
        GrafX2 has a long history, with the first versions being published in 1996. The development by the original team (Sunset Design) continued until late 1999, when they stopped working on it because no one had interest in running a DOS drawing tool by then. Fortunately, they published the sources so that their work would not be lost.
   
        In 2007, PulkoMandy recovered these sources and ported them to modern operating system. This was the rebirth of GrafX2, which then saw many improvements and finetuning, making it the great tool you know and use today.
   
    Neat touches include extreme custom resolutions (including nonsquare pixels), powerful pallette manipulation (including color cycling) and a prominently pixelated King Tut, as is mandatory for all pixel-art related Amiga shenanigans."

    Note: At authors website Amiga 68k / OS4 ports are not listed!

    Strangely GraphX authors links dont work

  Latest one is 2.5 but 2018 release, could this be backported?

  Your avatar is a gif so make sure you have "Disable animations" uncheck in Prefs under Rendering tab.
 
  As of Advanced smileys, yes clicking them won't work (needs javascript)
  but if you scroll down and click on Smileys under 'Forumregeln' all will be shown with it's html code.
  Simply copy it's code and paste to your text message.

For people who do not have Coffin and unable to get it working is there a third party downloads to be able to download PocketSNES, GnGEO, GNuBoy and netsurf with AMMX JPG optimization for people to download and install in their favorite OS distro?

Thanks in advance.

  Note that you need SAGA drivers in OS 3.1+ to make full use of Vampire. Arti deserves partheon and any kind of support!
 
  Note: latest "m68k" Netsurf autodetects and uses MMX, no more separate binaries.
