Cave Story Mods / Re: General Mod Discussion

No idea where to post, so I may as well post here (since it's related to modding).
Something that @KarjamP said made me wonder.
Yes, Cave Story itself uses PBM files (at least, the freeware version does). Most mods, as well as Cave Story +, use BMP files.
But the question raised is this: what's to keep a person from converting the image files used in Cave Story mods to PNG?
BMP and PNG can both be opened in something as basic as MS Paint, after all.

Image's deliberately saved in PNG to help save space (although I'll admit the real reason for doing so is because I prefer it over BMP). You may need to convert the image first before using it in the game, something that should be very easy.This raises a question that I've been wondering about for at least a few minutes.
