How much bigger are you talking about? You could try to convert bmp images to png or jpeg. You could even try to make simple images in DB with drawing commands.

with dbp, you can have data with a lot of characters, so if you have small images, you can save their colors for each pixel in datas and use dot do draw them

I tried to make a image to data converter once. It saved all pixels of an image to one data statement in a text file. I tried a 50 by 50 image and it crashed my computer trying to copy it.
It only works with images up to like 10 by 10 unless you want to manually type every one in.

Technicaly, you could make a whole game w/ sounds, models, and images using the contents of memblocks, but DBP won't let you copy that much text. Even a 1 second sound clip is thousands of data.

audio

drop bit rate and either reduce it to mono from stereo
22khz 8 bit would suffice.


images

reduce the resolution or bitdepth, Use another format with a smaller size footprint.


3d

reduce the poly count and texture sizes.


Music

drop the audio rates and try other formats like a midi file or perhaps mp3 or OGG.
