Thank you very much for continuing to answer these questions and sorry for repeating the music ones. The music question was a spur of the moment thing, but at least now I know for certain.
I didn't know that the choice boxes look exactly like the PS2 version, but that doesn't really change my opinion of them looking worse than the screenshot of the original that you linked. Too bad there's no patch for that, but I just gotta deal with it that they look like this now.
Thanks again for your time and to everyone else who worked and still works on this.
