Add Color to Original Game Boy Games
by on (#158659)
I'm looking for a tool or tools to add color to original game boy games. You see some of the games I find hard to play because the sprites are not really well designed for the palette (I find it common in ports especially 16 bit conversions).

But I'm not looking for something to turn a game boy game into a game boy color game, but I know some games had there own palettes in the gbc's bios or used the default palette. But there were also Dual-Mode games, Dual Engine Model would require remaking the for game boy color, the Adaptive Model would be like the Dual Engine But use game boy color features when it can, but the colorized DMG/MGB Model would let it stay a Game Boy Game. (source http://www.start-game.com/files/gbcprimer.doc and common gbc knowledge)

I'm looking for a tool that I could use to turn a Game Boy game to a colorized game, I don't care how as long as it works.

Thanks...

Edit: It seems glitchy with this game, but I can't fix it the way it says to. Oh well. The game is the Bubsy II Game Boy port in case your wondering. I guess the best I have is the Super Game Boy...
