Every frame has its own optimized HAM8 64 colors palette (independent of the other frames). The concept is exactly the same as with the AGA8 conversion, just with a HAM8 picture format. The cursor colors change because all the colors (except color reg 0) are changing in each frame. That's the reason why I keep the cursor on the screen, to make this somewhat visible.
One could actually display the color palette in each frame, simply by having some fixed rectangles of each color reg hardcoded in the HAM8 picture. Same with AGA8. This would make more clear (or flashy <g>) how this works.
BTW, the AGA8 hires variant has 464700 different (unique) colors total.
