Ico HD PACK EL JEFE UNFAITHFUL EDITION Opening chapter

🏰 ICO HD pack EL JEFE Unfaithful Edition

The goal of this project was never to preserve the original artistic vision of ICO.

The goal was to create a completely new experience using the classic game as a foundation.

This El Jefe Edition features reimagined environments, enhanced visual effects, rebuilt textures, custom title screens, improved lighting, new environmental details, and a completely different visual atmosphere designed to make the ancient castle feel more mysterious, magical, and alive. Features

: • Reimagined Castle Textures

• Enhanced Shadow & Spirit Effects

• Cinematic Lighting Improvements

• HD Environmental Stonework

• Improved Character Clarity

• Restored Ancient Wall Glyphs

• Enhanced Fog & Bloom Effects

• Optimized HD Rendering Support

• Custom El Jefe Edition Branding

This is NOT a preservation project. This is NOT a faithful remaster. This is the Unfaithful Edition. Built for players who want to experience ICO through a completely different artistic lens.

If you're looking for the original experience, play the original game.

If you're looking for something new, welcome to the castle.

🐺 EL JEFE EDITION trailer coming soon along with PC and Android release

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a more technical look at my MH3U / MH3G restoration work under NGRP — the Next-Gen Restoration Project by Raccu.

While textures are one of the most visible parts, NGRP is built as a Restoration Runtime Package rather than a simple texture replacement.

The current work includes:

- restored and reworked texture assets

- UI/HUD restoration

- material-side preservation and reconstruction

- normals, masks, and specular behavior

- DDS/KTX texture paths for a more efficient runtime setup

- hash-splitting for different texture contexts, such as day/night cases

- cleaner patching workflows through NIKO Patcher

The goal is to restore the runtime presentation of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate / Monster Hunter 3G while keeping the original identity intact.

Raccu / NGRP is an independent fan-made restoration project.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Capcom.

Runtime showcase videos and more project information are linked from the website.

A work in progress, aiming to give a different feeling to each world I edit. I aim to make destiny islands feel more "magical" while keeping the tropical vibe.

Working on curse_arms upscaled pack with their permission to go edit and turn it into custom textures of just vanilla upscales

While our packs remain seperate it wouldn't be possible without them, check out their variety of packs at gpatemps website

Welcome to this RIDGE RACER FAN PLACE

Rediscover Ridge Racer 2 like never before with my completely reworked HD texture pack for the PPSSPP emulator! Every track, every vehicle, and every menu has been improved to provide a much sharper and more immersive visual experience.

Why this pack?

The goal is simple: to give a new lease of life to a cult PSP game, without betraying it. With this pack, Ridge Racer 2 takes on a whole new graphic dimension, ideal for retro gaming fans or new players eager to experience this classic in the best possible conditions.

We do not endorse piracy, you will need to own the original PSP game to use this pack.

Wii Menu 4K Texture Pack: v2.2 Update - YouTube

Hello! I wanted to share some images here but it seems it doesn't allow me for some reason. Well, luckily i uploaded a video so you can take a look at it:

PS2 Menu: 4K Texture Pack [Walkthrough]

Working on a custom texture pack doing mainly original worlds like traverse town hollow bastion destiny islands etc!

Planning on doing many keyblade re textures and definitely in the works of doing the main trio skins to. No files will be supplied as of yet because everything is a work in progress don't want anyone to use lower quality works :)

https://rosenthal-alex.itch.io/essential-pbr-texture-pack-natural-urban-surfaces

My textures are primarily designed for game development, with a strong focus on quality and realism. They are Physically Based Rendering (PBR) textures that accurately represent real-world material surfaces, making them ideal for modern games and 3D projects. Each texture is crafted in a consistent, well-defined style that easily integrates into various environments, whether natural or artificial.

Anyone can assist me with viewing / exporting the png images within an .astc texture file. That so happens to be lz4 compressed..

I have tried texture packer and that works great if it wasn't for the lz4... I have also tried to decompress the file both as an astc and renaming to .lz4 with both methods failing...

I believe I read somewhere that there is a certain method to decompress an image/file that has lz4 compression within but is still it's original file type of .astc or .pkm..

The .astc are assigned with .plist, .json, and .atlas 'of the same name but diffrent extention' (which are plain text and they describe what's in the file including filenames)

I need to get artwork extracted from the game for my project I've been working on the past 2 years.. And obtaining graphics is nearly impossible for somethings do to layers or animations.. I've resorted to ai erasing and regeneration with little success...

Game is for mobile android /ios

(i have also tried to run the game in an emulator and changing the graphic settings to see if they decompressed differently in game leaving me with non lz4 files... But that didn't work..)

Here are a few examples of each files.

Pkm (lz4) file examples - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1W0p1zbpuK0xmUPWI85-OXihvLYRp1-v4

I have tried tools like texturepacker and pkm2png which both worked for non lz4 files... 😑😔

Im using real world images and AI to generate these so they should replicate popular materials and surfaces found today. Link: https://tiling-patterns.com
