For NESticle 0.42's NES Palette

Click here to return to the main page.

These screenshots were generated by NEStopia; if you see any oddities at the top and/or bottom, that's because NEStopia's screenshots ignore overscan clip settings, thus showing the top and bottom 8 pixels that are normally hidden on an NTSC television (and in most emulators).

Ahh, NESticle -- how almost nobody misses you.

NESticle is a relic of a bygone age, the age of primitive emulation attempts. In its day, it was the king: the fastest NES emulator around, even if it was by far the least accurate of them. You could also edit sprite graphics and background tiles, and make your own custom palette for whatever game; some NES ROM hacks relied on using a special custom palette -- and if you didn't use that palette, the game would look wrong.

Nowadays, however, I can't actually load any ROMs in NESticle 0.42 -- but it's not for lack of trying. The problem lies in the fact that NESticle only opens JNES-headered ROMs, and most -- if not all -- NES ROMs these days use INES headers.

But I digress. Onto the screenshots!



Bee 52

Note how in the last screenshot, the fence lacks details, and the tree's trunk is non-existant.

The Immortal

If I could load The Immortal in NESticle, it might look like this: terrible!

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt


Adventure Island II


Adventures of Lolo 2


Battle Chess

Some shading in the title letters and on the swords and helmet is now pink -- because... NESticle decided $3D should be pink. ¯\(º_O)/¯

Super Mario Bros. 3


Adventures of Lolo 3

This screenshot was modified to show both parts of the rainbow simultaneously; it looks pretty much exactly the same as actual hardware -- just less flickery.

Battletoads

This is my personal favorite line from Professor T. Bird.

Bucky O'Hare


Dragon Warrior


Metroid

This screenshot was modified to simultaneously show both the background and the platform upon which Samus is standing; it looks pretty much exactly the same as actual hardware -- just less flickery.

Dragon Warrior III


Legendary Wings


The Legend of Zelda


Dragon Warrior IV


Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
