List of AI upscaled games

[akven 2]

I wonder if there is a list of games for which upscaled textures were made using neural networks. I think it could be useful to have a list like that.

Are there good examples?

There was article on pcgamer, but it was long ago.

https://www.pcgamer.com/AI-upscale-mod-list/

 

Personally I'd prefer to add to some wiki-based list if there was any created.

I did it for original Dungeon Siege and it was very well received.

Well, my main idea was to have some place to look for AI Upscaled mods.

Maybe a list on pc gaming wiki. Or google sheets with links to actual mods

You can create list in your own user space, e.g. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/User:Akven/List_of_games_with_neurally_upscaled_textures

I started a list. I will try to fill it with information in a couple of days

Some other games with AI upscaled textures I know of:

• Sonic Adventure DX: ESRGAN-AI HD Textures and FMVs
• Sonic Adventure 2: Neuro-AI Texture Pack
• Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut: the Enhanced Edition mod has AI-upscaled 2D images (e.g. Status, Map, certain examined objects)
• BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut: Community Remaster mod appears to be based on another mod that uses upscaled textures

There are a lot of upscaled packs in the Game Upscale Discord server. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post an invite here, but there's a channel dedicated to releases and links.

for less precise, but more complex results just search for "texture" instead of "upscale" but I'm aware we search for upscales instead of simply HD texture packs.

 

I'd rather focus on creating a list of just PC upscales, because it's much harder to make such mod for games with DX8 and lower because there is no universal dumper/injector like TexMod and it requires messing with game archives, sometimes patching executables to override 4GB memory limit (not always universal 4GB patcher is enough). And also be aware that Glide has limitation of 256px for textures, so it's not possible to make any mod for this API with visible changes (it was tested with e.g. Rayman 2 which has also DX8 renderer).

The amount of HD Tex mods for other platforms is huge already, texture dumping and injecting is much easier if emulator provides such ability.

For example, visit Gaming Revived:

There are new packs constantly posted.

Their discord:

Downloads:

You need to Google for the game code/hask to get the game's name, or simply search by the specific game code. Proper region code needed.

There are already hundreds of upscales for console versions out there. Making a list of it might be pointless. So I guess it's better to focus on PC upscales. Or with an exception of PS2 mods, since they're in minority since not long time ago there was no official support for texture injecting/dumping in PCSX2, and someone wrote plugin for older PCSX2 version, but it can be officially taken down already.

I'll add your links, thanks

Personally I think, console games need this treatment too, it's just harder to sort them out.

It's good when you want to play some game that was on several consoles and don't know which version to choose

Maybe putting the upscaled packs on the wiki dedicated to it is a better idea. I believe there's already a list on there, it's just fallen into disuse.

I've been there too. Their wiki is 10 times smaller already))

And I have both GU discord and Gaming Revival discord

 

It's not important where to maintain such list, important is to maintain it.

 

I think it would be interesting for me for a few weeks. After that I don't know, maybe community will do something

Texture packs by Vierock are sadly paywalled... 🙄

EDIT: Forgot to mention that unfortunately NR74W has disappeared and his texture packs with him, but there are mirrors available from this reddit post below through MEGA and another user sharing links to Github mirrors, but the latter on Github has an incomplete texture pack for WIpEout Pure (seems to only affect UI). Furthermore, the upscaled versions of these texture packs also only seem to work properly when running PPSSPP in DirectX 11 (Vulkan from my testing caused some UI and text textures appearing as black squares).
