<p>this set_palette code got loaded into the segment 0BBC, one of the only 16-bit DOS segments marked red in shinigami eyes</p>

<p>(approximately 1536 times)</p>

<p>or maybe not? it&#39;s too 2am to tell.</p><p>ANYWAY I&#39;m currently debugging through a function that&#39;s 256 palette entry uploads and my debugger has no &quot;run until return&quot; function so I have to manually hit next instruction SO MANY TIMES</p>

<p>ahh, nope! I misidentified it.<br />the second parameter on set_palette is how many frames to set it for. <br />The same palette gets set. </p><p>it vsyncs every time so this is a set_palette that&#39;s also a timing function</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> </p><p>Oh, this gets my brain accelerating at a pace I am not comfortable with... 🤣</p>

<p>&quot;hey ghidra what calls set_palette?&quot;</p><p>&quot;I don&#39;t know! you&#39;re in 16bit segmented mode! pointers are MEANINGLESS</p>

<p>oh that&#39;s cute. their set_palette function takes two arguments: a pointer to the palette, and a number of extra palettes to apply. </p><p>so they could set up an array of palettes in decreasing brightness, and just do set_palette(&amp;fade_pallets[0], 64) to go through them.</p><p>but the same function is a regular one-time set_palette if you just pass 1 for the second argument.</p>
