Editing ROM hacking (section)

===Palette editing===

Another common form of hacking is ''palette hacking'', where color values are modified to change the colors a player sees in the game (this often goes hand-in-hand with [[#Graphics editing|graphics hacking]]); Palette values are commonly stored in [[Hexadecimal|Hex]]. This is fairly easy for [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] games, the graphics of which use a pre-defined set of colors among which a game selects (using a [[YIQ]]-based color palette); palette hacking in this case entails changing which of those colors are selected. The matter is slightly more complicated with [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] games as well as games for other systems (which includes [[Sega Genesis|Sega Mega Drive (Genesis)]] games), which store absolute [[RGB]] color values. Palette editors are usually simple and often are with level editors or game-specific graphics editors.
