Who's doing the GUI stuff for the DC version, BTW? Tell 'em I'll buy them a beer if they get it finished up. :mrgreen:

I think I remember that fixing the GUI was a matter of simply converting the PNG files to 256 colors, 8bpp or something like that. I have lost my Dreamcast stuff in a hard disk drive crash last year (trying to get it fixed asap but it's rather costly) so I can't really check what I did, but it was something that was easy to fix.
The "real" fix for it would actually be converting it to RGB565 (16bpp - 65536 colors), not 8bpp. That said, he's working on something entirely new, not just fixing the color banding issues with the old one.

Two tiny issues -- first, on the SMS front: of the new Korean dumps that had been causing problems, Xyzolog worked right away, but I had to disable the CrabEmu BIOS to get Ali Baba and Block Hole to work. I'm not sure if that's expected behavior, but it's what I saw. Easy workaround on my laptop, but this could be an issue on the Dreamcast version if there's still no way to toggle BIOS support on and off -- not sure if that's still the case?
"Fixed" the BIOS with r121.
