Ripping sprites from DirectX games

Thanks MJ Yeah it's not often that I get this hyped about anything really, I think the fact that it was so difficult to get to this point amplified the satisfaction.

I was expecting the black to go away, but just look at the other differences. Those weird glitchy colours by his hair are all gone, and just look at that glow on the feather. Seriously I don't know how this is happening but I'm loving it.
