Right, but what about the game using certain locations on the texture for picking out letters? Would they not still be the same location no matter if it's a 256x256 or 1024x1024?

Maybe some sort of patch to the game? Im not really a programmer but if someone could find the call for the textures they could just add a function to multiply it. As long as the new texture was a multiple of 256 it might work.

Texture coordinates are usually (always in FF7/FF8) in normalized floating point format (0.0 to 1.0). FF8 and probably FF7 too calculate these texture coordinates using the size information found in the .tex.

Sorry for the stupid question but does that mean it will grab the right spot no matter the texture size?
Aali:
Not if you replace the .tex file with a larger one. However, the custom driver can sidestep FF7 and replace any texture with an arbitrary png image. Since the sprite system does not know about this it will generate the correct texture coordinates.
