Description

I've really enjoyed playing through the port. After reading your stance on feature requests, I felt this would fit right in and feel right at home for a PC port. The game itself has beautiful scenery and incredible lighting and I feel that would only be elevated if the game could output in HDR (for those folk who happen to have a monitor or TV that supports it).

I think that even after 17 years, this game looks breath taking, and I feel like this very small QoL enhancement would round out the port in a very nice way; adding a level of polish that could probably compete with an official port (should SEGA ever decide to get on that). I think this port is absolutely incredible and it runs great.

BTW, this isn't necessary and I understand if the decision is made not to support this feature or leave it on the backburner until other more pressing issues are addressed.
