Grandia III (USA) | HD Remaster with widescreen support

[Panda_Venom]

What is completed:
- Disc 1: 99%
- Disc 2: 99%

What is missing:
- Font (bad dump)

Notes:
- If you want to play in 4:3 format, than extract the original images from the Optional folder and overwrite/delete the files in the portrait folder (just copy-paste into the folder).
- There are some texture flickering in cutscenes, this is an emulator bug. Set the Blending accuracy to High or Full.
- The textures are in DXT5/BC7 dds format. It's for the Pcsx2's desktop version! May or may not work on android!

Install:

• Download the latest Pcsx2 nightly build (v1.7.4000 +).
• Extract the folder to the pcsx2 texture folder (...\Pcsx2\textures\SLUS-21334 (and SLUS-21345)\replacements). SSD recommended!!
• Config > Graphics Settings > Advanced tab:
  Load Texture: ON | Async Texture Loading: ON | Texture dump: OFF
• Have fun!

Notes: Sound Effects of flower bomb are being played too early (doesn't affect gameplay)

This game suffers from ingame slowdowns I recommend setting pcsx2 EE Cycle Rate to 130% in order to avoid slowdowns, other than that there are no issues as far as I am aware. Both the timing and traverse distance are now fixed.
