Xenoblade Chronicle is a very welcome rpg to the New 3ds. However its textures are extremely diluted. Upon comparing the handled specs with the Wii, Ive found that RAM wise it should be able to run the game with the Wii's higher resolution textures (yes the wii don't have HD textures but higher resolution and sharper than the 3ds version). The only reason these washed out textures were used is I guess to reduce the cost of the slot1 card manufacturing by using a 32Gb chip instead of more.
Project status:
-I ve looked into this but got stuck on the XORPAD extraction of the rom decryption as my New3ds Xl is higher than the actually required v4.5 firmware to extract them.
What can be done by others who have access to XORPADS or more:
-decrypt the the rom file system (using 3DS Lazy or any other program)
-extract the 3DS textures (with 3ds explorer I guess)
-extract the Wii textures (TBD but I know its just a googling away))
-test as first solution a simple swap (with 3ds explorer?)
-reinject the textures into the rom and reencrypt n build it. (with 3ds explorer?)
Further to do:
-make an undub version of the game as the english voices are....well they break the illusion for me anyway.
The Wii textures format and 3ds should be the same as other games proved it. Of course it might not work but...Heck its an exciting Mod ;D
