The challenge I'm facing is that it has to be a bmp file, it has to be smaller then the original and the background has to be transparent.
If I use MS Paint, Photoshop and an online tool the file sizes expand to 96Kb.
Thanks in advance.
I used photoshop to do this. It does not have to be a BMP, and it does not have to be smaller than it. However, I STRONGLY recommend that you use indexed colors, and use photoshop's built in compression. If you are trying to change the "Mario Kart 64" text, then yes, transparency are required. However, if you are trying to change the backdrop, then transparency is not required. When using indexed colors, set to 256 colors, because i've noticed that, especially with character portraits, once you get to around 3 or 4 full color images on screen at once, the images began to get very glitchy.
So, indexing colors saves TONS of space.
