A good first step, if it weren't...RealGaea2022-08-24Version 1.0

...for the fact Donus made this only for the Japanese version, only.

Apply it for the PAL french version too. Since there are translations (English, Spanish) based on that one.

Colors are neat, but some need to be adjusted. Like Piccolo or Gohan.

I dig it..JWELSH892022-08-23Version 1.0

This is a pretty decent color hack. This paired with the voice hack make for a more enjoyable game in my opinion. Not everything is perfect though.

As a fan of Dragon Ball for close to 30 years now, the characters look more like their anime counterparts. I like the "golden touch" that was given to the Super Saiyan haired portraits. Reminds me of Hyper Dimension, or the Super Battle Collection action figures from the mid 90s. And the characters overall, look a lot better. A lot less saturated along with some of the backgrounds.

That being said, I have nitpicks. Piccolo now has pink shoes instead of brown. And the color of his and Gohan's belts seem off. Also something strange going on with Gohan's mouth. Very minor things.

The pros outweigh the cons with this one in my opinion. And I can wholeheartedly recommend this one.
