This title now properly displays the boot animations and logos properly compared to the last time I tried it. Although at the title screen, everything appears rendered in black/white, no colour. Trying to start a new game crashes Cxbx.
Grayscale textures can appear when 8 bit palettized textures are incorrectly 'converted' into 8 bit grayscale textures. Instead, they should be converted into RGB using the active color palette, or an additional pixel shader could map the alpha channel to an RGB color (by doing a lookup in a palette texture, like explained here : https://forum.unity.com/threads/color-replacement-shader.83582/ )
This issue hasn't been updated in ages. One user report showed some screens with slightly better results for this game in this old massive PR 1742 (Remove more RenderState/TextureState Patches), dated October 4, 2019. This game was able to go in-game with minimal, broken graphics.

Basically what it says on the title. Nothing but 2 grey triangles on bootup, which I assume are the logo screens, then nothing but a black screen, and crashes a few seconds later. You can hear the title music, and using the analog stick and A button seems to play navigation sound effects, so it's at least a tiny bit interactive...
