Homebrew Ripping the NES Virtual Console palette

[sindrik]

@zerofalcon I'm interested in your Nestopia core mod, thanks!

The wii "FCE Ultra GX" with virtual console palettes is cool

but the menus and in-game are all stretched-out now on my TV

could the virtual console palettes be implemented into FCEUGX but still retain the normal aspect ratio ?

also the directories for snapshots and cheats are kind of messed up by default, tho that would be extra

@stealth_gerbil
Download again. I didn't change anything that could alter those directories, you could try Zopenko's mod which includes the Wii palette and many more features.

I downloaded it again, and it looks perfect - thanks for the mod!

oh, the cheats/screenshots directories are messed-up, or switched-up (by default) in the regular FCEUGX cover-mod too, I just wanted to make an extra mention of that, just because

He made updates for this mod, look at the retroarch extra cores topic

Hey SuperrSonic,
Is there a way to convert existing .pal palettes into hexadecimal format (the way you currently have the VC palette in the OP)?
I ask this because I want to port Firebrandx's Unsaturated-V5 and YUV-V3 into FCE Ultra GX.

I have added the 3ds palete to the 3.3.6 version of FCE ugx. I eould also like to add the RGB palette from the neatopia core to the gx emu. If somebody has it in hexadecimal format please let me know

I believe the palette in the Nestopia core is YUV-V1, which should be replaced with YUV-V3.

Looks like the values can be grabbed simply by opening the .pal file in a hex editor. Here they are:

Wow, this is embarrassing...
What settings did you use in your hex editor? I could never get it to display in the 6 decimal format like that.

 

[Zopenko]

Thank you asho and supersonic. I will add these paletes to the fce mod upto version 3.3.7

I actually separated the numbers myself after copying the .pal file as a hex string.

Now it is possible to play our favorite NES games on Wii VC with no dark filter, with the help of @SuperrSonic and other people I got it. Some links:
