I'm currently in the process of fixing the backgrounds. There shouln't be any problems with the sprites (except maybe one ? "me_se_th_b22.bmp" was 520x480 in the MG release, while others sprites were 640x480. I replaced all of them with 640x480 sprites, including "me_se_th_b22.bmp". I don't think it could cause a problem from the way the game handles the sprites, but I'll put the right-sized version of this sprite in my updated patch, just in case.)

As for the backgrounds, I'll need the help of people who played the whole thing in order to know in which situations some backgrounds appear, since I haven't gotten far in the game yet.
I uploaded them here : http://www.mediafire.com/?riznz0zyzzy
If you do recognize them, just tell me briefly what's going on in the story when they show up. That'll allow me to know whether I can replace them with similar-looking ones or not.

Ok, gonna start now:
-bg_018- suddenly appear when K1 finishes his call, should be crazy mion or something like that
bg_092: maybe where satoko spent her helidays right before her parents died, needs to be checked
bg_115: k1 kitchen
bg_163: i think is a cafe in Okinomiya
bg_170:k1 living room
bg_178: road at night, usually where Tomitake's found
bg_225: in Watanagashi, where k1 leads tomita and okamura righ in the beginning so he can win, it's just a toilet
bg_235+236: appear at the beginning of tatarigoroshi, the toilets of the baseball stadium
tatajisitu-other part of k1 room, appears oftenly but I down' know if it has one in the ps2 game
These are the ones for now
from 229 to 234 just find some library sprites, the same with 171, 173 and 174, look gor highschool sprites

bg_177 is part of Mion's basement in Watanagashi, right at the end, where she kills everyone

207 should be easy, I think it's about the cliff and death of satoko's parents in the sea, something similar to a cliff or the sea should be it
226 is part of the toilet in watanagashi as I mentioned before with 225 and I think 116 is part of K1's home
