Hello!

I'm new here, I'm currently making an Animal Crossing Wild World fan-game using Godot. I've extracted most of the assets with Apicula, all of them are just doing fine. But some were missing: the post office, the museum or the animals houses. So I used Tinke to research and extract them. The meshes are fine, but for the textures I've got strange greyscale textures like this:
Post office:
fx_o_rf.png
fx_o_do.png

Notices board:
fx_ntc.png


I'm assuming it was used with a palette? Is it something common with DS games? (I've never extracted one before)

Thank you for your time!

I've indexed the colors with GIMP and they seems to be same for all textures, 7 in total:
#909898
#a8a8a8
#b0b8b8
#bcc1c1
#c0c4c4
#c4c7c7
#d0d0d0

But what makes me think it's not as simple as a palette is that a single color doesn't seem to correspond to a single color in the original game. The most obvious example is the sheets having the same color with the wood on the notice board (changed to red for visibility):

An update for anyone interested, I didn't succeed into extracting them directly from the ROM (with all the tools I obtain this strange textures). But I discovered MelonRipper, a fork of MelonDS with the ability to dump the current emulated scene, so I got the textures that way!

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
