Add palette files for VS, add other custom palettes #17

At a minimum, VS Arcade palettes should be included and named appropriately in /PALETTE/ so that they can be automatically-loaded when loading a VS rom with an NES2.0 header containing the specific palette to be used.

Also, add the additional custom palette directories to /PALETTE/ that existed in the original Analogue NT Mini jailbreak.

The Noir selects the correct palette automatically if it is specified in the Vs. System games' NES 2.0 header.

We still have to add those .pal files to the directory for them to get loaded, correct?

No, you do not. You must set the correct palette by using the NES 2.0 header's Vs. System Type field for for that game. Use Mesen's header editor to fix individual games or the NES Header Repair Tool Python Script to fix a set.

Thanks @GreatHierophant so it seems everything relies on the quality of the ROM set, and especially the correctness of ROM headers. Duly noted.

tjanas commented 3 years ago

@frederic-mahe Should we still add extra custom palettes to provide extra options besides the built-in ones for VS and the other selectable ones in the Noir JB firmware?

GreatHierophant commented 3 years ago

You can select any palette for Vs. games as of jailbreak v6.5, so I believe that addresses tjanas' request. However, most Vs. Games use bizarre palettes, so any palette that would look correct on them will not on normal games. This can be closed I think.
