It is great in Photoshop for putting all your games sprites to turn into C64 Sprites.

Excellent tutorial.

there is one things that I couldnt find is

7. Now click [Image > Mode > Indexed color]. Choose [Custom palette] and click [Load]. Locate your Color table file. Click [Ok].

Choose [Dither: Diffusion 8%]. A high dither number will make the image look too perfect. Almost every images on the Commodore 64 was hand-drawn (with joystick or keyboard) and dithering nearly impossible.

I dont know where is Dither is as I using Paint Pro shop 7.

good one Hotshot. However the C64 was able to have a higher resolution on X, it's just that the pixel colors could only be changed every 4 pixels in the X direction ;)
We once had a passion
It all seemed so right
So young and so eager
No end in sight
But now we are prisoners
In our own hearts
Nothing seems real
It's all torn apart

It is a cool fake but it lacks the stylistic choices of a human artist.
