What palette does MESEN use?
Does anybody know where MESEN's default palette came from? I ask because I'd like to use it as the default palette for my emulator/game as well, and I'm not sure whether I'd need permission or something from whoever made it initially. On one hand, it's just a palette...192 bytes of data. on the other hand, I don't want anybody to feel like I'm trying to steal anything. Thanks.

Mesen is GNU licensed: https://github.com/SourMesen/Mesen/blob/master/LICENSE
You can export the default palette, and import other ones as well. Options -> Video -> Palette (tab) -> Export Palette
The exported .pal file viewed in a hex editor represents each color in 3-byte RGB format in order.

OK, thanks. That pretty much sums it up. I already exported MESEN's default palette and was already using it in my project. I just wanted to make sure nobody was going to get mad at me for doing so.
