For Nintendo's PlayChoice-10 RGB 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).

What's this? A palette that's actually almost worse than NESticle's?? And a palette that was officially used in actual NES arcade machines between 1985 and 1991, no less!

I never thought I'd say this, but… I think NESticle's palette is only slightly worse than Nintendo's PlayChoice-10 palette. I rag on that palette a lot, though; other people might think this palette is worse than NESticle's — and they, too, would be correct. :D

If you want to learn more about the PlayChoice-10 arcade machines, there's a blog post on Nerdly Pleasures that has plenty of info about them — including a listing of every game released on the PlayChoice-10! :)

The RGB palette can't handle Color Emphasis; all Emphasized colors are replaced with pure white. :(

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.

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

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.
