K1GE upper palette ?! - KanedaFr - 07-04-2025

I don't see the point of the K1GE upper palette....
Why did SNK add this feature ?

I see 3 possible reasons :

1/
To quickly add color to a game under development for the NGP classic.
But it seems to be overkill, no ?
From what I see, it's even easier to use K2GE only feature than K1GE upper. 
Of coure, you'll need to use twice more graphic assets.

2/ 
to avoid color and classic assets, and so large ROM 

3/
to allow studio to slowly move to NGPC while still releasing NGP classic compatible game


or perhaps I missed something....

I'm here to learn more Wink
