aw yeah, as a game dumper, you get to see all kinds of cut content/things you missed from textures like how there is a swear word on a car texture in The adventures of cookie & cream (the car is an enemy btw).

Sometimes textures like the one you posted are upscale-able, the weird corrupted stuff below isn't used by the game, I think something tries to fill in the gaps so it's not empty. Anyways just make sure you check your dump after every session so you don't accidentally overload your SSD/HDD cause infinite dumps are no joke, you can rack up 1TB of junk data in just an hour.
Also I heard if you disable "enable mipmapping" in the rendering settings, texture packs should start working again.



That's so interesting, there's a swear word on the car that you never see in game, but it's a kids game, so wouldn't the rating need to be changed? Even if you never see it? I know it's just in the games code, but there was that one golf game that had the first episode of South park in it's as a test that they forgot to remove, and the ESRB had to change the games rating because... Well, it's south park.


Thanks for the heads up about the storage space thing, I'm not running low but I definitely don't want to build up a bunch of random data and overload my PC lol. (Though, it would be worth it for Ape Escape 3)


I'll get a picture later today (I say today but it's 2am as I write this) of my files, but I noticed a lot of the texture dumps are wierd. They're mostly garbled and glitched with random blocks of stuff in them or pixelation. There are like 20 copies of the same image and only 1 or 2 of them look okay. But even then, they seem oddly see through? Semi transparent? Even in the texture I sent it doesn't look as bright as in game, I suppose.

I'll be back with updates later... Eventually. I'll use that duplicate cleaner thing you linked in the original post to try and clean my files, but sometimes as I mentioned there will only be 1 or 2 copies that look clean, the rest bad dump. If I end up having to look through all files individually, I'm resigned to my fate.


Anyway I'm still smack dab in the middle of my persona phase, but between finishing p4g, all 3 dancing games, reading the manga, reading and writing fanfiction, and rewatching the Skylanders show because it was actually good and I forgot about it, I'll somehow find enough time to do this too.

Sorry, seems I rambled.
Anyway, good luck to all those trying to dump textures. Maybe if it's troublesome enough I'll drop a guide with some tips.

It's not as bright because the emulator only uses 128 out of the full 256 opacity limit all textures 126-128 opacity max, It's important to keep that in mind when upscaling so you don't mess up transparancy.
Also that car texture with the curse word IS visible in-game it's just really tiny and the car moves really fast so you'd never get a good look at it and there's no real need to with the way the game is + original resolution should make it almost impossible to tell. Still hilarious

Heres a test for the getaway. Did the first mission, i think the dumps are right but i wanted to upload them and see if somber can check em out and see if they were good/bad dumps. if they are good ill probably go through the game and get the files for you, i have beaten this game before without save states with them shouldnt be too bad. That said, if someone has an infinite health/time cheat it will make the process much quicker for dumping. I set it to dump mipmaps when i started the run in case you needed them, if you want me to turn them off for dumping let me know

Here is the link lmk asap so i dont have to run through the whole game if it isnt dumping right, cheers again

yup looks good, you would know if it's a nightmare in the first minute of dumping, the folder would be filled with 1 or 2 textures. When you're done dumping, I'd recommend seperating all the mipmaps into their own folder and checking to see if DDS works fine with mipmaps enabled. If it does than no need to upscale the mipmaps, if it doesn't than upscale all the images including mips with PNG

I dont really have any experience with upscaling tbh, im just trying to get the dumps for yourself or someone else to do it. 80% of the hard work is playing through the game to get the dumps to begin with since if you havent played the series before or youre not good at racing games, finishing it to get the dumps even with save states would be a nightmare. But thanks for the message ill try and blitz through the game and get the rest of it done in the next couple of days and ill seperate the mipmaps into a subfolder when im done

Up to chapter 4 and already like 34k textures. they all seem to have the triple hyphen though so it seems to be all good. To be expected with a intricate open world game like this. chase sequences are a total pain in the ass. enemies shoot at you as well as cops ramming you off the road changing vehicles 12 times per chase scene. All coming back to me just how shit hard this game is and why it hasnt been upscaled yet. Once i finish this, all the other people in the forum asking for the game is gonna owe me a massive favor lol. until they have to play it for themselves with the new textures haha

Had someone in another thread tell me the dumps are no good so idk if i can be bothered doing any more of them if there is no point.


Could be because he was using the broken updated version of pcsx2 though, where i have been using 1.7.5957 for doing my dumps

Update : Completely Finished the game, files are uploaded here is the link. I'm sure ive gotten like 97% of all the textures in the game, but i cbf roaming around london for hours to try and get it to 100%. i might have done that already, but im not sure since there is no map like every other open world gta styled game out there. I also included all my save states and memory cards in case my textures are bad dumps or you need to go into free roam to get a few more textures to make the pack complete. Happy to finally have finished this brutally hard game, really keen to see what it looks like with upscaling.

it is possible to change the host of "Chaos Wars"? for some reason the download is not starting, I already changed browser but still does not start.
hmm, the link works for me on chrome. did you update your browser? I'd rather not re-host that massive file

yes, my browsers are updated, the problem is only with this file I downloaded other files (shining force exa, Capcom vs SNK 2) of the links you provided and the others worked normally.
