They DID. Introduced zzz, new FS compression and partially reorganized field archives (multi JSM, multi text sections, some fields have broken/badly edited FL and FI sections- complete misunderstanding) rendering Deling useless. We broke zzz, we broke new compression (sorta) but that's all. More and more people are leaving this pile of poo

Please don't leave.
We need those new re-modeled characters. Even after we HD all those character skin in the old ver. it still looks like crap.

Is it possible that Dotemu screw up the file structure so that we can't mess with it?

I like the original story, but I played them like more then 10 times already. I wish we can get the original Japanese translation which has a bit different dialog then the english one.
Looking forward to this project, I'll wait until all the discs is finished.

Wait a minute. Are you saying that modding on FF8R is already started and you guys already cracked the file structure?
That was quick. I thought we still stuck because they use a different format.

Order from Steam and they'll give you the same wallpaper that you got 20 years ago.

No analog is a big deal. It is easier to find hidden draw points in psx than the PC ver because of how the character spin around

A new trailer just drop in

Yeah, looks like they upgraded the FMV, but didn't bother with the pre-rendered backgrounds.
I hope the full voice acting rumor is true.

General Discussion / Re: [FF8 PSX] Mednafen, best Final Fantasy VIII emulation

« on: 2019-07-12 19:13:41 »

Wow great!
For me, the best emulator for FF8 is CVGS.
But it doesnt support analog. Even though ePSXe support analog, it's not perfect, its not real analog but 8way movement.
Can yours do it?

Another thing is rumble feature. DAmn I want rumble everytime I trigger. No emulator can do this.

At least FF8 never got any port or remake/remaster since the last steam version, which is actually the same PC port from 2000.

I hope they re-translate the game.
If you want a choose between remaster and what we are doing here, I choose remaster. I mean, model upgrade is way better than just a HD texture on a blocky model.

Still we can just wait for the PC ver and mod it again from there.

Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] Project Hellfire v1.2 - GF Upscale Pack

« on: 2019-01-30 19:42:12 »

Sharing a little tip.

We probably all know that characters modded with awesome stuff like project hellfire, rebirth flame etc cannot blink (currently).
To me, that's a pity. Especially when it comes to Shiva. I've always loved her "awakening-like" summoning. Mcindus surely did a great job with this mod and the HD Shiva looks gorgeous, but i just miss that blinking.

For those interested, i've found a simple way to get a "50-50" result. A blinking Shiva with most of Mcindus' HD texture still in place. Basically, all you have to is remove the "sum_shvahd" folder (inside "su" folder). If you do that, the game will use the old/original Shiva's face which is a bit pixelated, but her eyes will blink.

And the game will read Mcindus HD textures of her body, so it won't be as pixelated as the original.

Thanks for the tip. This HD designs are great but out of all GF, Shiva is the only one looks very different from her original design. Gone is her blue eye lashes and her nose is too pointy. Now with your tip I can bring back those original lovely face.

What's the difference between this and others FMV Replacement Pack?

I mean, i can see the difference and i think this is the best, but i would like to know how you worked on it (the main post doesn't specify the improvements of this replacement pack).
 
Anyway these videos are supposed to be 30 fps?, because when i reproduce the intro "disc00_30h" my videoplayer says "15 FPS".

The main download pack is not yet converted into 30fps since there's still a bug in the game that will make the game weird when the fmv is in 30fps. We can convert the video into 30fps even 60fps, there will be some very small improvement but it will be quite hard to match it with the 15fps gameplay without some tweaking.

I dont know what he did to the videos but I think this is the best version compared to Project NORG. Great colors and less pixelated.
Also Project NORG used videos from the old 2000 game file while zwuw use the steam version video files.

« on: 2017-09-20 18:49:42 »

The whole lines in english version are changed/modified/localized =very different than the original Japanese translation. This is very common for rpg of those days, where they let only one person to do the translation in just a couple of month.

Look at all 3 Quistis in each mod, they are like different persons!
I hope someone can mix the upscaled faces and edited body textures together. This can make the character looks more original instead of completely different "actors".

30fps looks great on that video.

Yeah there's some ghosting like you said but its really hard to notice unless you look really hard at those details.

I can say your videos are much better than steam.

I've downloaded both replacement FMV pack from LeonhartGR's and Kayael's.
From my point of view even with LeonhartGR's 1080p upscale, I think the original steam version videos is much better. They are more sharper.

Probably because they took the source from the old PC version, not the steam version. Maybe.

Great work! Somehow for Selphie video I like the left one better?
another thing is is there a way to change the framerate from 15fps to 30 maybe?
