Hey, so there’s this cool SimCity 2000-themed screensaver available here: https://archive.org/details/sc2kthm

It takes a screenshot of your screen and overlays its animations over it. It still works on modern Windows but there’s a catch: the screenshot it takes is 16-colors, so of course on anything present-day, it looks ugly as hell

I tried reverse-engineering it in Ghidra and I did find calls to the Windows API functions to get a screenshot but I don’t really know what I’m doing and it very well seems like it’s not as trivial as changing a parameter in a function call.

Would anybody with more experience in RE be enough of a SimCity nerd to be willing to look into this?
