Request: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons - GBC palette on GBA

[Paar86]

I'm afraid this is a game specific feature as the Oracle series were released at the end of the GBC lifetime and Nintendo wanted to modify the game for the GBA owners. I don't think the code will be portable to different games.

I just tested it on a "GB Boy Colour" clone system and a GameShark and the code does work:
01??96FF
??=01 - Darker
??=FF - Lighter

I just tried the code with VBA emulator and it keeps telling me that I'm using a wrong format of the GS code... Weird. But then I tried BGB emulator and the code works.

VBA's cheat engine is outdated. That's why some codes don't work on it.

I have all of the right hardware. I'll test this in a bit.

Tested Seasons with standard clear Gameshark.

Tested Ages with Black Gameshark Pro (Sticker says 3.0)

My GBA SP I used is the classic NES case modded with an AGS-101 GBA SP.

Looks like they lowered the contrast for the GBA SP since the screen is lit. I think the more washed out palette looks correct, but at least now you have a choice.

Great to know it works. I'm sure someone will welcome the option turn the darker palette on.
