This texture correctioning is more obvious in full 3D games; this video shows clearer examples.

Here's my question, does really game can upload software generated clut, or its locked to tims on disk? Eg for chrono cross your have cc1.bin/cue and cc2.bin/cue and the cc.m3u the folders would be cc-texture-dump and cc-texture-replacements named after the m3u file, [–]drocker8282 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago (2 children), [–]lyonhrt 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago (1 child), seems to dump the textures ok from what i've tested, [–]Kinasin 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago (1 child).

Will see later, hope spells wouldn't even be a problem, but copying vram and reupload... That's not easy to handle. I do know that for the specific case mentioned in chrono cross, if vulkan is used and software framebuffer disabled, that the rect requested and pixels returned by rsx_vulkan_read_vram are identical to those later provided in a call to rsx_vulkan_load_image. A lot. you can catch me on discord LyonHrt#1856 if i have any extra findings, or methods that would work for general use. They have already completed Resident Evil 2 and 3, using a custom dolphin emulator (for the gamecube versions of the games).

By clicking “Sign up for GitHub”, you agree to our terms of service and i've done a ton of tests on this @twinaphex and i'm actually surprised how well it does work, 2D games is off the table (so far all the tests i've done is crash), and it has all the original issues with vram dumping so some corrupt textures, or multiple images with different palettes etc, which makes it tricky (so possibly possible?)
