Cart Intro Palette

The cart_intro_palette variable is used to specify what palette should be used to draw the intro graphic for a cartridge. As with regular palettes, the number references the row of colours to use from the textures\palette.png file -- starting from 0 and ending at 63. However, unlike regular palettes, the colours used in the cart intro images are not mapped to columns in the same way. Rather than column colours being mapped based on what element is being drawn (tile, background, etc.), cartridge palette columns map based on the greyscale shade. Using the greyscale palette specified in the Cart Intro PNG section to draw cartridge graphics will help when mapping palette colours to a given intro image. If no palette variable is specified for a cart intro, it will use palette 0 by default.
