I hate that you have to buy a development copy of mamba black just to play back shows other people made. It would be nice if they had a free player version.

It's a bit goofy. Everyone is worried about getting ripped off so no one shares any information. I have come to accept it although I don't like it. It's bad for the consumer and only good for those who stand to make money on it.
We should establish reasonable standards amongst ourselves at the very least.
We could become "The Alliance Of Independent Laserists"!

Sure, we could start TOLDYASO. Texas-Ohio Laser DisplaY And Software Organization.
Have you worked with LaserBoy? It will open ILDA files with palettes.
It does not conform to any currently proposed 24bit standard.
But it will read 2D and 3D and palettes. It also lets you export and import palettes in plain ASCII text, so you can start with a palette that's there, export it, tweak it in notepad and import it as a new palette. You can do lots of things with palettes in LaserBoy. You can transform from one palette to another by several methods. You should be able to open your ILDA of an unknown palette, make a palette for it that looks good, then do a best color match to the 62 color default palette and save the result as ILDA. That should make it just about as generic as possible.

Mamba Lite used to be free to download, I dont know if it plays the extended mamba format xmb
I have a registered older copy of mamba and when they forced me to consider buying a dongle @ ~100$, I said screw it. The older copy is based on processor serial number or something.
I can send you a older one, but it times out
