So, it looks like custom palettes were added at some point, which is freakin awesome! Thanks!

Is there any way for us to get custom palettes AND grid lines though?

When applying a custom palette and any of the display modes that have grid lines, the results do not mix well, as reported in https://github.com/budude2/openfpga-GBC/issues/47

The correct way to achieve custom palette + grid lines = "Backlit Color LCD" as the display mode and select your custom palette.

However, I'm noticing a few issues:

1. When selecting "Load Palette", the file selector is looking for GBP files rather than PAL files 2. Possibly related to 1, I renamed a few PAL files to GBP to test out, and the colors seem... wrong.

Okay, finally discovered that GBP files are for the Mister core, and contain just 4 colors, whereas PAL files are for the Pocket core and contain more colors. Seems one or the other is also byteswapped. I was trying now to find an online converter, but have come up short. I can easily do it by hand, but maybe I'll write a quick online converter for people to use.

I noticed this issue today. I do not know the meaning of the term "byteswapped," but none of the palettes downloaded through pupdate looked correct after I changed their file extensions from .pal to .gbp. I renamed all of them using PowerRename from Microsoft PowerToys.

I built an editor for .gbp files here: https://www.nortakales.com/page/gbpEditor

For whatever reason I could not find one anywhere on the internet 🤷‍♂️

So the core isn't able to use any of the .pal files? I hope that gets changed I don't want to have to convert them all.

Thanks for this. Any chance at allowing batch conversion?

Good idea. Give me a week or so, I should be able to find the time to do that.
