Game Boy Color Palette Swap

Whilst playing original Game Boy games on Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance hardware, the games will be displayed in color. This default palette is selected by the Game Boy Color's Bootstrap ROM and is customized for several first and third party games including Baseball, Pokemon, Killer Instinct, Mega Man, and others.

In addition to the default, twelve palettes can be selected manually by pressing a button combination during boot-up while the Game Boy logo appears, enter one of the button combinations below to activate the respective palette. Some of these manually selectable palettes overlap with the custom ones, including Solar Striker, which uses the "Inverted" palette.
