Message: [QUOTE="Maximecool, post: 345826, member: 873313"] Hi everyone, I’m creating this dedicated thread to share all my PS1 and PS2 texture pack projects for DuckStation and PCSX2. I’m still learning and experimenting, so please keep in mind that I’m not a professional I’m doing my best to understand, test, and improve step by step. My goal is to remaster the games I personally love, especially those that never received any remake or remaster and are often forgotten today. Before I start a project I also check that no one has already released a texture pack for the game I select, so I try to focus on titles that haven’t been touched yet and keep that advantage. Each project is made with care and passion, even if sometimes I struggle or make mistakes I learn as I go. If you find bugs, duplicates, or texture issues, feel free to report them; I always appreciate feedback and advice. To keep things organized, I’m regrouping all my projects here instead of posting multiple separate threads.

This thread will be updated in the future it’s not something I plan to abandon. To start, I’ll begin with my latest updates for PS1 and PS2 For Duckstation: If you experience crashes: Make sure [B]Preload texture replacement[/B] and [B]OpenGL[/B] are enabled. Your duckstation must be up to date to support the webp format. Texture filtering: [U][B]Nearest neighbor[/B][/U] recommended for these packs [B][SIZE=5][U]Toy Story Racer[/U][/SIZE][/B] (PAL german & French SLES-03397) mostly OK,all circuits have been redone (I had to remove the tyre textures to fix a graphical glitch,while waiting to find out how to fix this, only the tires are not retextured on the karts. it may work in other regions if you rename the folder,[U] but this is not guaranteed[/U]. widescreen hack from emulator enabled Original texture: [ATTACH alt="toy001.png"]118595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="toy003.png"]118597[/ATTACH] My texture: [ATTACH alt="toy002.png"]118596[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]118623[/ATTACH] Download it from my Google Drive: [URL unfurl="true"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pfq4yFgTVisPGDP_AU7_aSkRCVARsMQW/view?usp=sharing[/URL] [B][SIZE=5]Crash Team Racing (USA English)[/SIZE][/B] For Crash, a few icons show imperfections,this texture pack fully restores all tracks in both Adventure and Arcade modes. Patches: apply widescreen/ 60FPS PGXP geometry correction Enable lcache (CPU): ON Overclock: 1000% Original texture: [ATTACH alt="0001bandicoot.png"]118611[/ATTACH] My texture: [ATTACH alt="0002bandicoot.png"]118612[/ATTACH] Download it from my Google Drive: [URL unfurl="true"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TU_tJ14EO6dOx7C0W8J34QvpBy6seWIh/view?usp=sharing[/URL] To conclude, I’ll finish with two PS2 games: one new and one that I’ve fixed. My closing words will be about my future projects that I’ve already started, along with a list of the ones I plan to work on. It’s not that I won’t come back to my older projects, but since I’m not very skilled, it’s not easy for me. PCSX2 : [B][SIZE=5]Gadget & Gadgetinis[/SIZE][/B] (PAL SLES-52845 contains multiple languages including English) This is my best result, full texture, no defects, I finished twice to be sure everything is fine and it is. original: [ATTACH alt="gadget2_01.png"]118615[/ATTACH] my texture: [ATTACH alt="gadget2_02.png"]118616[/ATTACH] Download it from my Google Drive: [URL unfurl="true"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PWz9lCxXbt8VHdOVBGd4xb6K1n0KoLhh/view?usp=sharing[/URL] [B][SIZE=5]Inspector Gadget[/SIZE] [/B](it is not new already published however new link because I repaired textures which crashed on certain loading screens, and I was also able to improve the rendering of certain details, the final version, now everything is finally good) original: [ATTACH alt="gadget1_01.png"]118618[/ATTACH] my texture: [ATTACH alt="gadget1_02.png"]118621[/ATTACH] Download it from my Google Drive: [URL unfurl="true"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OC5dZNzSKlrZsgua3phYpfk0Jirt9Mv7/view?usp=sharing[/URL] I didn’t include my old [I]Desert Storm[/I] because it’s really broken and I couldn’t make it usable, and I’ve abandoned the PSP to focus only on the PSX and PS2 versions. Thank you for your understanding. All texture processing is used by the RealESRGAN AI application. For anime or cartoon-style textures, I use ESRGAN_x4Plus Anime. Always at a 4x scale. [U]Here are my future packs in progress[/U]: [B]PS1:[/B] Ace Combat 3 Mickey's Wild Adventure Hercules(Disney) Gran Turismo 2 Men in Black: Crashdown the Series(game based from cartoon) MediEvil 2 [I]Inspector Gadget Gadget's Crazy Maze[/I] (puzzle video game) [B]For PCSX2:[/B] Wacky Races Woody Woodpecker Mummy return(based from movie) [/QUOTE]
