Messed up textures and backgrounds in older games, Carmageddon and Final fantasy VII for example (PM me if you have others)
Affects: Everyone
Workaround for problem: None
Status: Requires implementation of 8-bit palletized texture support (may need emulation as hardware doesn’t appear support it natively), if you wish to petition ATI to add this feature to the drivers http://apps.ati.com/driverfeedback/
Possible method it can be done (suggested by Colouless) Emulating Palettized Textures can be done reasonably fast using Dependant Texture Reads or EMBM (which is just a simple form of depentant texture reading). You use the dependant texture read to emulate the palette lookup when the texture is being used. However, when using this method the quality is generally 'poor' or the speed is 'poor' since you can't use hardware bilinear filtering. You will have to use point sampling, or do all the filtering in a pixel shader (NOTE BY ME None of the drawbacks are really a problem as we are talking about a compatability mode for OLD games that would be running fast anyway and dont use pixel shaders for other purposes)
