Xenosaga TRILOGY (USA) | HD Remaster

Panda_Venom · May 17, 2022

I am working on the Xenosaga games to bring them to HD. There are some emulation limitation, at the moment we can't dump the Battle Hud in ep.1, the Battle portraits in ep.2, and the chat images in ep.3. And all three games has issues with the font, I hope the Pcsx2 devs will fix these bugs later.

For the best experience use these with the uncensored/undubed versions!

Progress:

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht | 80% completed | Status: Playable
- Portraits fixed for widescreen. If you want play in the original aspect ration than extract the "Normal_Main_menu.zip" in the 'Menu' folder and overwrite the dds files.
- Sadly the Font and the Battle HUD still low-res, we have to wait for the devs to fix texture dump issues.
- 95% of the textures are upscaled! (Missing some battle effects)

Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose | 90% completed | Status: Playable
- The UI is streched in widescreen mode. The battle portraits are missing (bad dumps),
- The text font is buggy,
- 90% of the textures are upscaled! (Missing some Epilogue boss and textures)

Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra | 90% completed | Status: Playable
- The UI is a little streched in widescreen mode. If you want to play in 4:3 format than use the optional button pack.
- The chat portraits are missing (bad dumps),
- The text font is buggy,
- 95% of the textures are upscaled! (Missing a few end game textures)

Install:

Download the latest Pcsx2 nightly build (v1.7.4207 +).
Extract the folder to the pcsx2 texture folder (...\Pcsx2\textures\SLUS-xxxxx\replacements). SSD recommended!!
Config > Graphics Settings > Advanced tab:
Dump Textures: OFF | Load Texture: ON | Async Texture Loading: ON
Have fun!

- Enable GPU Palette Conversion in the Graphics Settings.

Something strange did not work for me, can I upload the emulator, it only worked for me on a line, only a picture of characters that did not appear in Xenosaga III

The lines appear in Save only, but do not appear in the menus or in the fights

Oh. that's my bad, please delete the Font folder, maybe it will fix the problem.

Muhannad · Jun 12, 2022

Hello, is there any update for these games ?

Cursed_Arms · Nov 2, 2022

I did try upscaling Xenosaga III and sadly there are pixelated in some areas. Also, if you're not using the 60fps patch, severe fps drops when using the HD textures. The downside when using the 60fps, everything will double the speed.

I can't dump any textures from the Xeno games, only the UI and some battle effects. For me, the emu just creates endless useless vram dumps.

Hi, greetings, I am using the xbox series XBSX2 emulator, it seems that the texture pack is not working, can something be done to make it work? I am a big fan of these games and it is a pity that they are not improved, thanks!
