My PS2 Packs

[Bl4ckH4nd]

I'm just updating this post for newcomers:

My packs were stolen and sold, for $5 - $15 PER PACK, so someone made a killing off my work. My Patreon is now paid, $5 for access to everything. I understand that not everyone has money to just throw around, so there will be a free access weekend every month, I will post here when the free access starts. You're welcome to join the Patreon as a free member as I post updates there more often.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far and for being so understanding with this whole situation.

Here is a list of all my current packs, I'll update it as I add more:

Cool. Thank you for upscaling God Hand. I was about to take it on myself. Glad I don't have to.

Always nice when you're dreading doing something and then see someone else did it.

That's how I feel about these long RPG games, would love to do them but time is an issue

because nobody likes the dds format?

You think it's worth the size difference?

I'm just thinking about the people downloading it. I haven't had time to fully compare the quality of dds vs png except for one game and there the DDS was terrible. It was with my Blood Omen 2 pack. With dds you could hardly see a difference so it barely looked like a texture pack so I settled with the png

dds is more friendly with gpu vram it can have quality loss but it is minimal, on the other hand png uses more vram it takes longer to load, it happened to me with the textures of resident evil 4 in png from one stage to another it took 5 seconds in load full textures.

I see, thank you for the reply. I'll do a small sample of a few different games and compare. Guess that's my week planned out

I re-uploaded my God of War pack, it seems there were a lot of duplicate files that weren't needed.

This is a good quality Tekken 5 texture pack,. I found that some of the textures were pixelated, mostly in the cloud display. I found those problematic textures,please take a look.Thank you very much

Yeah I'm trying to figure that out.

I mostly make these packs for our Discord members who don't emulate on PC. For some reason, those pixelated textures are 100% there and it only happens on PC. I'm going through my settings but if it's not that, I'll have to look into using another method for those files

Amazing packs

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it

Also, I added Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks yesterday and did a new one for Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex.

A bit on the obscure side, but a King Kong pack is being uploaded in the next 12 hours.

Thanks for Shaolin Monks.
