Anti "256 colors only" patch?

[Roboroach]

Is there anything of this sort? Something that would bypass those idiotic color checks that Windows versions of Sierra games perform and, when they find that the desktop is set to Hi or True Color, they refuse to run because they think it's in 16 colors? I absolutely hate having to switch to 256 colors, as it looks like crap and blocks any possibility of gamma or brightness adjustment, which is often very much needed in some games...

If you are using WindowsXP, you can set the 256 Colours Compatibility Mode from the Properties window.
