A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Query: SELECT `cargo__issuenames`.`name` AS `issuename`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date` AS `date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf` AS `pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name` AS `magname`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` AS `country` FROM `cargo__issuenames` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__magnames` ON ((`cargo__issuenames`.`code`=`cargo__magnames`.`code`)) WHERE `cargo__issuenames`.`code`="sonictimes" and `cargo__issuenames`.`num`="0209" ORDER BY `cargo__issuenames`.`name`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` LIMIT 1 Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Error: 1021 Disk full (/tmp/#sql-temptable-19fbda-f1d22e3-1ce.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space...

The Saturn version of the game fails to take advantage of the wider colour palettes and otherwise superior graphical hardware of the system, instead looking almost identical to its earlier counterpart.
