Romhacks After Burner II ReToned V1.02 / 1.02B (Genesis) Romhack

[Byros]

Thanks for your kind words, I'm unfamiliar with caliber.50 both in the arcade and the megadrive/genesis, so I'm not sure if I could really add any meaningful color adjustment, but we'll see as time goes by.

I have no clue if you would take this on but would you try your color hacking skills on a genesis game called caliber.50? Goal in mind would be to make it look more like the arcade version

Don't like how this ROM ended up and want to take a shot at it?
Here are my notes about palette locations, they're somewhat messy but usable with HivePal
