NuLA - A 'softer' palette for games

[PitfallJones]

Hi,

Here's a program that sets the base 8 colors to a 'softer' version - much easier on the eyes!
It's Basic so you can change it to set your own favourite palette.
You run this program first and then run the game of your choice and it will automatically pick up this new palette until you power down.

Great idea!

Just had a thought (shocking I know! ), but how about creating colour 'profiles' for different games?
Not just softer colours but completely different pallette sets for alternative looks.

The supplied palette utility allows you to load and save palettes for just this reason.

I've also included some example palettes within the ROM (under RFS) for the following games: Barbarian, Boffin, Commando, Crazee Rider, Firetrack, Fortress, Frak, Hunchback, Last Ninja, Match Day, Revs, Snapper, Snooker, Stryker's Run and Yie Ar Kung Fu.

You can see some of these palettes in action in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65dyaePHH3Y

An alternative is just to use composite video (with colour mod), then you get slightly muted colours by default

I was just about to ask about Yie Ar Kung Fu which is one of my favourite games of all time and then I saw this...
