Hopefully over time pcsx2 will evolve to the point that these games can become more accessible. Thanks to you mvp899 and everyone here on the forums your contributions are amazing.

• Rule of Rose | Infinite corrupted textures
• Haunting Ground | Some textures don't dump
• Silent Hill 2 | Every texture has a variant for every RGB tone change
• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone | Infinite corrupted textures
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets | Infinite corrupted textures
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban | Infinite corrupted textures
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire | Textures kept repeting themselves with different id's
• Spider-Man 2 & 3 | Too many small textures that are incredible hard to sort
• Alien Hominid | Infinite corrupted textures

Some may have been fixed withing the last updates.

Oh, thanks for the donation, sorry, I've been a bit busy over the holidays. The Tekken 4 is a typical Namco game, so the UI is not "dumpable", but the textures look fine. I will give it a try later.

hello a question what is the chainner configuration for texture scaling for pcsx2, the node issue because when I update a texture from a game and play it inside the game it looks transparent as if the texture was invisible if someone could help me

The image should be 50% opacity to display properly in-game. open the image in gimp -> Flatten Image, then set Opacity to 50% by double clicking on the opacity bar and manually setting the number. If opacity doesn't get overwritten, I don't know how to fix that.
here's the configuration I use (from Venomalia's preset config)
NCNN is for AMD GPU's, use a different pyTorch model for a different brand of GPU

there is no exact size, most games drop transparent textures

my best guess as to why its invisible is your upscaler probably moved some pixels in a bad arrangement and now the image is broken, This image seems like it has delicate pixels that are very close to the alpha channel. Moving a pixel from a color data point to an alpha channel point can break it. for this texture I'd recommend modifying it through an image editor rather than using a model. in the mean time I'd remove the upscaled texture for now just so it shows up in-game.

I wanted to learn how to use chainner to scale some games I have like devil may cry 1 but I don't know how to use the program and I didn't find any guide this group doesn't have discord?

I recommend you use Upscayl, it is much easier to use.

Upscayl Gives worse results than 4xHDCube. You only need to set it up once then save the config as a .chn file in the ChaiNNer main folder and then it's plug and play.
