There are two things that bother me a little about Dink HD: The "CD music" and the fact that load_palette/256 colour mode don't work.

It's cool when the .ogg version is just a better-sounding rendition of the .mid, but some of the tracks are completely different, and the midi versions are superior (9.mid > 9.ogg is a particularly poignant example). Some dmods like Lost Forest Romp or Lyna's Story play the midi directly from original Dink's folder, so with the .ogg version being picked automatically, the game basically plays the wrong track.

load_palette is a really powerful effect, it's a shame it can't be used anymore. Isn't there any way to apply that in true color mode?? It's an underused trick as far as existing dmods go, though, so not many dmods are affected - the only one I can think of is Lyna's Story, where the colors are inverted when you enter "the other world".
