Specifically the three palettes used in-level for the tiles and the two backgrounds.

I've developed a basic program (Both simple and that being the language it is written in.) for creating Jazz 1 tilesets. (Another program was mad by someone, but the version I have never seems to work quite right.) and the problem I am having is in creating the palettes.

As far as I can tell each palette consists of two bytes detailing the size of the palette then 255 entries or r,g,b and a separator. (Total uncompressed space 1'026 bytes.) But for some reason, though I can get palettes to work, other times the game simply freezes or the colors display as a strange rainbow pattern (Identical even though different colors were coded.)

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how these palettes work? Is there a bmp -> tileset program out there? Just wondering.
