Persona 2 - Innocent Sin HD UI (v1.72 Update)

[ryuubu]

Following my Persona 1 HD UI texture replacement, I have started the first installment of Persona 2.

As with any PPSSPP texture replacement, I can only replace the textures after encountering them in game. If you can help me get textures that I haven't got yet, please do! I'll take your save games, or just directly send me the textures that you save.

If you can help me in any way, please do!

Very special mention to user shimmeremi for sharing his textures and reigniting the project.

The project has slowed down as society returns to normal, but I will still chip away at this slowly.

What is done so far:

- Title Screen
- Most fonts, menus.
- Battle UI elements
- All characters' general portraits (if you find a missing one, take a savestate for me!)
- Most NPC character portraits
- Fusion attack animations
- Shop banners
- The maps

Not done yet:

- Cards (These will take a while, low priority)
- Small shop previews (There's not much to work with)
- Credits fonts
- Some UI elements that look okay for now are unchanged

Preview images:









Download: Turn texture filtering and screen scaling to Linear for a better look in general.

By popular demand: How to apply these textures
You need: An American rom image of Persona 2 PSP (ULUS10584 is the ID). I use this with an undub version and it works fine.

1. Install PPSSPP
2. Load up your rom.
3. Go back to the menu and create a game config (this gives this game its own settings)
4. Go to Game Settings > Tools > Developer Tools
5. Check the box near the bottom that says "replace textures"

6. Inside your PPSSPP folder, there will be a folder somewhere called PSP (mine is in PPSSPP/memstick/PSP)
7. You should see a folder called TEXTURES. If not, make it and go in.
8. Create a folder called ULUS10584 (that's the ID of American Persona PSP)
9. Copy the contents of the download above into that folder.
10. Play!

1.72 Another quick update to fix stuff again. - Thanks Dragonknighted
1.71 A few missing textures were updated - Thanks Dragonknighted
1.7 Most of the Portraits are done now. Rough full release feels about 90% done
v1.6 Thanks to user BanhCanh, many more portraits added
v1.0 Still missing a lot of textures (help me!) but good enough for release.
v0.9 Changed a texture that seemed to be interfering with movies (thanks AMNerdWarrior). Added more shop signs, of course more portraits, too.[/b]
v0.8 Added HD small portraits for status effects, few more NPC
v0.7 All NPCs, store signs, UI and Maps up to Kounan have been done.
v0.6 More portraits, status effect icons, few text updates.
v0.5 Big update. Switched from Waifu2x to ESRGAN
v0.1 Just started.

Nice! I'll see if I can incorporate them

EDIT: OMG DUDE, you have officially saved me so much time!!!

Hey, I started an HD texture pack for this game a while ago myself.

https://github.com/BL4-z/Persona2HD

I was thinking of dropping the project since I didn't feel too motivated to keep it going so feel free to use any of my textures.

[ryuubu]

Might pinch one or two!

[ryuubu]

I'll upload a much updated version tonight.

Just wanted to thank you for your work! Those texture packs are top quality and its amazing how fast you make them.

[ryuubu]

I have been following this one for a few years now lol

Hopefully he gives us some kind of release, even if it's still only halfway done.

Haha! Me too! I've been checking for some years now, thankfully it hasn't been dropped, so it will eventually come out

Great work on the HD UI for persona 2 ryuubu. I'm happy that persona 2 is finally getting some much needed love. I was wonder if there will be an option to download a 3x Resolution textures just like your Persona 1 HD UI because I notice that the 5x Resolution textures causes some mirco stutter when opening menu or talking to characters. Futhermore, I wanted to point out that on version 0.6 the FightLoad.png causes the opening cutscene to break/not play. By deleting FightLoad.png it fixes everything. Once again, thank you for the texture pack and keep up the good work.

How can we use this? New to PPSSPP.

[ryuubu]

Unzip the folder to the TEXTURES folder of PPSSPP. This is the same place that has your savegames and savestates and cheats. If the folder doesn't exist, just make one.

Then turn on texture replacement under a games settings > tools> developer tools

if I remember correctly
