I have got problems using the spc format too. This is since I built in 
*overscan*. This is realy strange. Because it won't work even *overscan*
is turned off. So is there any hope? I realy wou like to get my
256 colors back. This is a lot better then 16. (was :-( ) 
On the ather hand - is there a way to use, at least, 16 colors while
using the features of *overscan*?

grettings to all of you
