For NESten 0.61 Beta'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).

This is the first palette I remembered seeing that was actually drastically different (in a good way — mostly) compared to FCE Ultra/FCEUX and other emulators of the time! I actually liked it a lot, despite its many, many flaws.

This palette was created using NESten's default palette generation settings, with the Hue set to 332, and the Tint set to 0.5.

Interestingly, this palette has a brightened $1D black, so various background details show! :D

The Immortal

Like BioNES, NESten 0.61 Beta supports Color Emphasis — but also like BioNES, when all of the Color Emphasis bits are enabled, it incorrectly brightens the screen instead of dimming it. Sadly, since only $1D is brightened (and not $0E — the other black that The Immortal uses to get an extra gray), the game still looks very wrong. :(

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt


Adventure Island II


Adventures of Lolo 2


Battle Chess


Super Mario Bros. 3


Adventures of Lolo 3

If the animation sticks, just wait a few seconds. It SHOULD restart. :)

Battletoads

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

Bucky O'Hare


Dragon Warrior


Metroid

If the animation sticks, just wait a few seconds. It SHOULD restart. :)

Dragon Warrior III


Legendary Wings

The last vertical-scrolling level uses $11 and $12 in a way that creates a really cool texture when playing the game on actual hardware and on a CRT TV. :D

The Legend of Zelda


Dragon Warrior IV


Zelda II: The Adventure of Link


Solstice: Quest for
the Staff of Demnos


Monster in My Pocket


Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The alligator boss at the end of the rafting level uses two greens ($19 and $1A) that, on my actual NES Control Deck, are
almost indistinguishable — but they do add a cool texture due to the composite artefacting! :D
Avoid the lighter ink blasts! The darker ones will ink you up, but the LIGHTER ones will INSTANTLY KILL YOU. To be honest, I never knew there even WERE two different colors until I really studied this game for screenshots.
