Thanks
VirtualOS it is possible to run CraftOS 1.8 on older Versions.
btw. This is just a beta. This is not possible with the current release of VirtualOS. It will be released when I have fixed all Bugs.

Does it emulate term.setPaletteColour too? It could find the closest colour match to something in the palette so things don't look terrible.

term.setPaletteColor just changing numbers in a table. It only there to prevent CraftOS from Crashing. On the screen there is no change.

Basically, it can only emulate 'software' (really Lua side stuff), where as setPaletteColour is a 'hardware' (Java) change.

I know that, but say you re-map white to a cyan-ish colour, when it draws using this remapped white, rather than drawing it as white it could use cyan.

That's more complex to do than it's worth.

It's genuinely not that difficult, providing you've got access to the native colour palette… Just compare each colour to the native palette and choose the one with the smallest difference squared. Store the result in a table do you've got a mapping between your buffer's colours and the ones to draw with.
