Specifically, I'm looking for something in a Megadrive/Genesis-y vein (61 colours on-screen, 512 total - basically) that I can open in PS and have everything pre-baked.  Would be nice if it automagically converted imported images into best-fit colours, but I don't know if that's a possibility. 
I Googled around but didn't have any luck, though there is plenty of info available: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_videogame_console_palettes

Maybe just grab a picture that has the palette you want (and clean it up / convert it to index in case you grab it through Alt+PrtSc or something similar) and continue working on it? If you work with an Index-based picture, Photoshop will not add new colours I think, so this would also convert imported images into best-fit colours.

I remember trying a program that could do exactly that, convert a picture in a simulated megadrive output with one of 4 16 colors palette for each 8x8 block.
Unfortunately I don't remember the link, dayyum.

Probably Cosmigo's Pro Motion (CTRL-D if I remember correctly, if not just look for "fix palette" in help). Maybe Debabelizer (name?)... which was too expensive for me back then so I never used it myself, but the guys I worked with during the Gameboy days were mostly praising it ("It's fantastic... if only it weren't crashing every five minutes") so it's probably worth investigating.

No it was a small freeware that I downloaded from a website specialized about homebrew creation
