AFTER BURNER II RE-TONED V1.02 / 1.02B
This patch changes some colours from the original 1989 MegaDrive release, attract mode and in-game were slightly adjusted.
The way the palettes are arranged in the original ROM present a trade-off between better afterburrner effects vs decent explosions, so I created two different patches, I’m not delighted with any of them but it’s a baby step.
V1.02 – Yellow Afterburner effect & yellowish explosions
V1.02B – Red Afterburner effect & reddish explosions
V1.02 / 1.02B – Initial patches
Tested on GENS & real hardware –
Genesis Model 1 VA3 + Sony Trinitron 14FV300.

Most of the files you're about to download need to be applied to your game. Here is a list of utilities that allow you to do this:
- Online Patcher: Marc Roblero's online patcher. Works with many different file types.
- Floating IPS: NWell-known patcher for applying IPS and BPS files.
- Delta Patcher: Used to apply xDelta files.
- More Patchers
On most files, you can also press “Patch It”, to apply the patch without downloading the file.
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
