So I tweaked the original BCD one a little, mostly took out all the very dark colors. Here are the ten binaries. :)

Er, actually there are nine. The tenth level has the same colors as the game shows upon startup. ;)


Those look all very good :thumbsup:

Excellent contrast everywhere, my favourite being the "ice" scheme of level 4 that looks like coming straight from SW-ESB ;)

As for doubled colors, the two remaining spots where this happens significantly on my TV are the greens in levels 1 and 8. Not hurting the gameplay at all though.

And I thought to mention, that the boot scheme and the level 5 colors are almost identical, just in a different order it seems.

Anyway, as I said, looking very good! Ordered! ;)

I wrote a simple test program, which might help deciding the right colors.

Some combinations look very nice (on emulator!).

I don't totally follow the code, but it looks like when you're in NoSpritesSubKernelSubroutine you have cycles to burn, and you go there once per floor.

Yeah, but I don't go there on the scanline that the floor starts on.

Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks, Thomas, for the binary :)

But since I have Manuel's Seal of Approval ™ I think I will call this done. :)

Final PAL60 version attached.

You're welcome and, thanks especially, Thomas, for all your help with the conversion. ;)
