    I may have the wrong idea here, but can you not open the image you need to 8-bittify in Photoshop, resize down to 8-bit, then enlarge it with nearest neighbour (or whatever the enlarge setting is where it duplicates pixels rather than blurs), save, then open in illustrator and live trace with a broad scope of colours and very tight tracking?

    • If you have loads to do, create a contact sheet sort of thing with all of them on the one sheet in Photoshop, then do them all at once.
