I like the palette BMF came up with (or at least I think it was BMF) that was in that Art of Rom Hacking doc Vagla wrote a while back (or at least I think it was Vagla).


Vagla used Fx3's palette. In my personal opinion BMF's is actually just a tad too dark

Since I haven't played a game on a real NES for half an enternity (back when I was 5-6 years), I had no idea which palette was the most accurate. (I'm using NESten and FCEU and noticed quite a difference, so I wanted to know. )

Anyway. Thanks.

If a hack comes with a palette included, I'll use that, but otherwise I either use the default emulator palette, or BMF's NES palette, which, for the convenience of those that don't have it, you can find here

To answer your question, Smallhacker, I personally think FCEU (or FCEUd) looks the closest to the original NES.
