Format
Each entry represents palette data for use by EarthBound map graphics. Each entry is itself comprised of 6 subpalettes, each comprised of 16 colors.
Terminology Note: What the EarthBound modding community generally refers to as a "subpalette" is itself referred to in the SNES development guide as a "palette", and therefore the grouping of 6 of those, which is generally referred to in EarthBound modding as a "palette" (at least in the context of map changes), would in general SNES development be a group of palettes.
Colors are stored as little endian (2 bytes):
gggrrrrr 0bbbbbgg
Each subpalette is stored as 16 colors in a row (32 bytes). The first color in each subpalette is always treated as transparent. Is that first color always stored as 0x00, or does EarthBound sometimes use it for flags?
Finally, each palette is stored as 6 subpalettes in a row (192 bytes).
 | This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? |
