thanks guys for your hard work programming this stuff. i'm gonna finally play through final fantasy IX now with one of these shaders like I've wanted to for quite some time.

question i've had for a while: can you write an algorithm to increase the colour depth for sprites on 16 or 8 bit? I thought it would be a simple matter of blending the two nearest pixels together and getting a new colour as a result when the resolution is heightened? isn't it that simple? just wondering why i've seen all manners of plugins for graphics smoothing and what not for the super nintendo but no colour depth increasing plugins...
