New VDC VICE Palette (NTSC)

[saehn]

Hey, here's a seasonal gift from all of me to all of you. I've never liked the default VDC palette in WinVICE, so tonight I put my two monitors together and eyeballed a more "correct" palette in Photoshop. Hope you like it!


It seems closer to me, I'm happy with it. Here's how you update yours in WinVICE:

First, switch to 80 column mode (enter GRAPHIC5) in WinVICE, and then make some reverse-space color bars so you can see a before/after effect.

Click here to download my VPL to your Program Files/WinVICE/C128 directory (you Linux guys can figure out the equivalent I'm sure).

In WinVICE, click Settings --> Video Settings --> VDC Palette. Click the browse button and load my VPL (vdc_saehn.vpl). Click OK out of it, and you should see your new palette!

Here are the RGB values (I kept them as RGB pairs).
