This post have to be
Great work for update this roms.

Actually only Omni will be updated (i'll have to find some time to write changelog). ThinkingBridge is final, because of ROMs creator, and Mahdi... i think i'll update it for a month...
BTW - FFII is one of the worst parts of the saga (and VIII maybe), but i only played (oh - finished) - first nine games...
I tried to finish FFX twice or triple times, but didn't have time to do it. But FFXII is the one i want to finish badly (it's waiting on hdd of my PS2).

OK, for a good start - OMNI updated with alternative download from google drive...
NEXT to do: unify all ROM's post look
And Carbon update (separate thread).

Could you add themes feature on omni?

---

@up
Probably yes, but...
1. There will be no omni update in the next month.
2. Theme engine implementation is quite complicated project and potentially could affect stability of the Rom
