No, it has to be 265 colors (8 bit), but it can be 1024x1024 pixels in size.
Just convert the image to 8-bit, and you should be in business

Photoshop 7 does not give 8-bit color as an option when you do a "save as" for BMP files. You can convert them to indexed color (use adaptive!) then save them again and 8-bit is an option. I don't know why this is so but it is :D

Check the properties (Right click) of the skin you have made. If it is more than 1.0meg, you didn't save it as an 8 bit BMP and it will crash the game every single time..
Been there, done that.
A FEW times :D
As Elbert said, change the mode to "indexed color", than 256 color, Local (adaptive) and that will save it as 8 bit color. "Adaptive" takes the color shades YOUR using and gives you 256 options. "Forced black and white" just makes sure you have a slot in your pallet for black and white. Adaptive saves ugly change overs to BMP files because it uses your samples to create a 256 color pallet.
