PCSX2 emulator gets support for texture dumping and replacement
Stenzek posted an example image, replacing the textures on crates in a Ratchet & Clank game.

Now we need auto translate function to play JPNs VNs *,*
This is a game changer.
Hopefully it'll get game companies to speed up their remasters or rereleases from that era. Likely not, though.

wow, i've been waiting for this for so long. finally.
it's good to have in the mainline build. hopefully more emulators will get this feature.

glad they're doing this, but the emulator still kind of sucks
I like how the image has version 1.6.0 but talks about version 1.7.2389
I've already gotten to work with 3 projects so far The Warriors, Midnight Club 3 Remix & Resident Evil Outbreak

UI is kind of shit for a PS2 emulator, it's not as accurate as i'd like it to be (especially for being in development 10+ years) and overall it's very slow
On the GitHub page people had questions about the textures coming out semi-transparent or something, and used P3FES as an example. Sten then used it as the example to explain how to do it correctly. So someone else already thought of this and was at least looking into getting it to work
UI is getting replaced. Old UI is on lockdown and is waiting for new one to be finished before getting ripped out.

(Yes, per game settings is a thing now)
Accuracy is slowly improving (with some speed optimizations). Sadly, PS2 is the hipster of video game consoles so emulating it on modern pc's doesn't make that work go any faster with performance in mind. Even for Sony this isn't easy work considering the PS2 software emulators for the PS4 aren't really an alternative to PCSX2.
There's a good reason Stenzek didn't went on creating his own PS2 emu and instead is helping out PCSX2.
20 years now, btw. Lots of code debt adding up in the first 10 years from a lack of proper project management that had to be sorted out. That has changed in around the last 5-6 years with even some complaining that they have become too harsh about added code, but ymmv.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
