Just a question: would it be possible to add a feature where one can specify their own palette file? Because I downloaded this emulator a few days ago to see what it looked like, and I thumbed through all of the (non-game-specific) palettes while running
PALTEST.NES (a homebrew ROM (not made by me) that displays the entire NES palette on the screen simultaneously), and about the only palette that came close to emulating all of the colors correctly (in my — and my TV's — opinion) was the "nintendo-vc" palette. But that one's colors are really drab, and color $3D is — bizarrely — brighter than $30.
Failing that: would it be possible for you guys to add in
the two palette files that I have been working on for the past several weeks? I just… I'm sorry if this post comes off as rude, but I'm just extremely pedantic about details like this. :| My palette isn't perfect (I've come to accept the fact that there really is no such thing as a perfect NES palette), but as far as I'm concerned, it's close enough. I recorded a video of myself playing Solstice on my actual NES, and then fiddled about in NEStopia's advanced video settings (tweaking the R-Y, G-Y, and B-Y, and their respective Gain settings) until the emulator looked as close as possible to the video I'd recorded. I'm quite proud of it, and I want to use it, because — in my opinion — it's better than nearly every other palette out there.
Either way, tl;dr: I wanted to do a feature request ("Let users select custom .PAL files for palettes"), and I also wanted to show off my work and offer it up for use in this emulator. The general populace of the IRC rooms in which I hang seem to think it's a pretty good palette, so I thought I should share it here, too.
(Again, I apologize if this post came off as pompous/egotistical or rude. D: At the very least, it really
wasn't my intention to be
rude.)
EDIT: aaaaand I just realized that the download links on that page were not only malformed, but DEAD. :| The links have been fixed (
and tested!), and now work. Sorry about that! D:
