Possible ways to display graphics?

Question

assembler

Is it possible to output an image directly to the display using the BIOS without drawing it pixel by pixel?

Answer 1

You mean .jpeg, .png, .gif? It is forbidden. If we are talking about direct access to the video buffer, then it is 0xA000:0x0000 represented as an array of RGB structures.
