Universal Test Pattern for Nesmaker

I had an idea that might be useful. A universal test pattern for nesmaker games. The main focus getting your colors right on your CRT. Just a black screen with a multi color graphic or nesmaker spelled out in various colors. It would also help tracking color variations in aftermarket clones and emulators.

I'm not sure what colors to use. Mainly because of the challenges of the nes color palette. So the actual color choices would need to be debated.

It's just an idea at this point. I figured it might be an interesting one to kick around.

The NES version of 240p Test Suite already handles this fine I feel, as well as a bunch of other graphics tests for CRT displays: https://github.com/pinobatch/240p-test-mini/releases/tag/v0.19

Thank you! That looks very interesting and I will be checking it out. I was thinking far simpler. More like a hidden extra or start screen option. I mean just a image in your game so you could adjust colors. A lot of newer games have you adjust the brightness before you play.

You do make a good point. I don't want to do something someone else has done. I was thinking more like a community easter egg thing.
