Hello, thank you for this texture pack! I have only a problem: I'm facing some issues with the texts since I'm using the italian patch; is there a way to "bypass" this problem in order to use the new HQ font with the language patches? Thank you in advance!

[Zodiark]

I've looked into it, the problem for most of these issues is how the Italian translation patch points to segments of textures. It often has it pointing in different positions than both the vanilla US and PAL regions. The only way to bypass this issue would be to completely disable and delete texture files that are giving you the most issues (specifically icons/2.ktx2, 5.png, and 4.png). Or creating new textures dedicated just for the Italian text. On the bright side, I went in and added better compatibility for other non-text textures just because of this mod. It is all in the newest patch. It's not perfect and there are still some large issues but I pushed it as far as I could go without overriding existing material. Sorry I couldn't do more.

Don't worry about it! I've asked just because it's the only issue that I'm facing with the patched version, everything else works well. Just to let you know, I've tried to delete the files that you mentioned in your previous post but the issue persists.
Thank you for your effort in this, I still think that the PSP version (with proper bug fixes) is the best version of this game.

Does this work on xbox series x? Did I install it correctly?

Should be ...\PSP\TEXTURES\ULUS10297 instead.
Move ULUS10297 to your texture folder.

This is unbelievable work - love it so much. I've got it working fine on my pc but I really want to play it on switch.
I have followed the same set up and guides but I can't get the switch version to work using the exact same settings for ppspsp. Any ideas please bud?

This is unbelievable thank you so much for making it. Do you know if there is a way to improve the font so it is clearer and also improve the sprites as they are very blocky on my Xbox X.

Also I'm using the full 5GIG version but it stutters sometimes, is there much difference quality wise using the lite version?

Thanks

Hey thanks for the kind words. The font as of right now can't be dumped. As for the sprites they can but with current methods would not only take an immense amount of time (30+ hours) but also cause all kinds of bugs that would take even more time to fix. FFT for PSP is just plain out very buggy for texture replacement considering it is a port of the PlayStation version which handled textures and resolutions differently. In the mean time if you want clearer font and sprites id recommend turning on upscaling. Head to settings>graphics>texture scaling and make sure upscale type is set as xBRZ and upscale level is set to at least 2x. As for the stuttering, PPSSPP released newer texture replacement streamlining in 1.17 so instead of stuttering they should be appearing in at the speed of which your storage device is ready. So your problem could be you're not running the slowdown patch https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/979/ or https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=9523.0 if the first link didnt work. Secondly, your PPSSPP could be out of date. For the full and lite version the only difference is the resolution of the map textures. The lite textures are 1/4th the size of the full textures but their quality is still very good that you can getaway with using them on a larger display.
