The good news is though that the dumped picture is saved with the right colors and you could actually upscale it. I gave this a go but when Retroarch does the textures dumping the files are not saved with a similar Duckstation naming convention: "vram-write-." but more like this one:

įor this there's a really good video on youtube that explains how to do it: I found out that textures dumping can be achieved with another PS1 Emulator called Retroarch. Now - let's park Duckstation aside for a minute. I say this because when you check the textures pack for PE2, the names for each picture are quite unique and that's the only way for the VRAM to recognise them and replace them to the original while playing the game.

I know the basics on how to the process may have run:ġ> Use an emulator (Duckstation?) to dump the textures from the virtual ram of the game (VRAM) as it's being played live (this means completing the full game)Ģ> Once all textures have been saved (you have finished the game) upscale each texture picture to a better quality with a software such as Topaz Gigapixel AIģ> Insert the upgraded textures in the Textures folder of Duckstation et voilá! A home made remaster! Unfortunately there is not much out there on how this has been achieved unless someone can point me to a step by step guide :). You may have seen online that some PS1 games can now be played via Duckstation with an upscaled textures pack such as Parasite Eve 2 or Dino Crisis 2. This is a bit of a long post and to make it easier to read I have added some headings to each section:
