There are a few viewers out for the Second Sight that support 3200 color
pictures.  Since the Second Sight doesn't support line interrupts, non-native
SS apps can't display 3200 color pictures.  This doesn't mean that the
current software can't be updated to be SS savvy.

To return to the topic, some of the fixes include emulation of the HGR and
double hires screens.  There was a supposed a fix for 80 column emulation
when a certain softswitch was set, but it really wasn't.  As soon as I get
around to it, I'll figure out which softswitch it is and report it to
Sequential (not as if they have anybody on staff who can fix it :( ).
