I recently updated my flashcard with TWiLight Menu.
I didn't knew that TWiLight menu would overwrite my CONFIG files for GameYob, in which I had a bunch of Color Palettes saved. Those are gone now.

Anyway... I'm trying to make the same palettes.
But I'm getting wrong values and I can't figure out why.

I think, GameYob has a limit in values of 0~32 because once I use values like 33, 34, 35, 36 and above, colors looks weird.

I want to recreate these color palettes, from darkest to lightest value, these are:

DMG0

RGB= 197,162,74,66,121,99,33,89,82,16,65,74

DMG1

RGB=41,65,57,57,89,74,90,121,66,123,130,16

DMG2

RGB=8,56,8,41,97,49,107,130,8,156,186,8

DMG3

RGB=0,0,0,66,105,57,74,138,41,140,170,24

DMG4

RGB=9,65,8,0,81,33,49,113,0,90,130,0

Once I put these values in GameYob, the colors labeled as "TEST" becomes:

Looking at the original GameYob CONFIG file, most values of some RGB values won't go past 32, but colors simply don't match when RGB values ranges from 0~255 and I'm going crazy.
Do I need to divide values or something to get the right values for GameYob?

Hello today I did a test about converting you palette, in this case the DMG0 and I get the right values I post them below with a proof of my ds
btw, what ds are you using? that buttons remember to the zelda one

DMG0 Test=13,20,9,8,15,12,4,11,10,2,8,9

Broken DS Lite turned into a macro.

I've already converted these palettes to gameyob palettes. Of course wouldn't have been possible without your help.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
