Error when trying to run with color palette

[jelleholtkamp]

I'm getting an error while trying to start PyBoy with a color_palette. I'm trying to run it like this:

session = PyBoy(filename, window_type="headless" if quiet else "SDL2", scale=6, debug=quiet, color_palette="FFFFFF,999999,555555,000000")

I am getting the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "[filepath]\src\main.py", line 21, in <module>
    session = PyBoy(filename, window_type="headless" if quiet else "SDL2", scale=6, debug=quiet, color_palette="FFFFFF,999999,555555,000000")
  File "pyboy\pyboy.py", line 82, in pyboy.pyboy.PyBoy.__init__
  File "pyboy\core\mb.py", line 56, in pyboy.core.mb.Motherboard.__init__
  File "pyboy\core\lcd.py", line 78, in pyboy.core.lcd.LCD.__init__
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for <<: 'str' and 'int'

The same command runs fine without the color palette.

When I try to run with a color palette like this I get no errors, but it's still black/white:

pyboy.exe "[filepath]CPPRed\Roms\Red.gb" --color-palette "FFFFFF,999999,555555,000000"

I'm running Pokemon Red

Try with PyBoy(..., color_palette=(0xFFFFFF,0x999999,0x555555,0x000000))

Nope, still black and white unfortunately.

Could you paste exactly what you're trying?

0xFFFFFF,0x999999,0x555555,0x000000

You need to modify these if you want colors. Try: 0xFFFF00,0x990099,0x005555,0x000000. You'll need to define the colors you'd like.

[jelleholtkamp]

Yeah I figured that and already tried some randomly figuring I should see some change but to no avail. However the one you sent does work. I'm guessing it only supports certain ranges which makes sense now that I think about it. I found a list with color patterns that matched the ones the original game boy color supported, so I'll experiment with those. Thank you!

It supports any colors you'd like.
