Hello talented modders,
I am looking to commission an experienced PS1 modder to create or refine a patch for the original Final Fantasy VII ISO for use on my New Nintendo 3DS XL.
I am specifically interested in replacing the standard low-poly field models (the "chibi" characters) with the higher-detail battle models for the main character (Cloud) who is the only one ever shown in the world map when moving and exploring.
I know this was attempted years ago, and that the main challenge lies in the scaling and positioning of the higher-poly models on the pre-rendered backgrounds. They often appear too small or float improperly.
My Request is to Create/Adjust a Patch that:
Replaces the field models (BCX files) for Cloud with his respective battle model.
Crucially, includes the necessary scaling/coordinate adjustments to make the battle model look as naturally sized as possible on the field environments.
The final product should be delivered as a single .PPF patch (or set of patches for each disk) that can be applied to the retail PS1 ISO (SLUS-00900/901/902) for use on an emulator (specifically targeting the PCSX-ReARMed core).
I understand this is a significant undertaking, given the limitations of the PS1 platform, and I am prepared to offer a fair financial compensation for your time and expertise.
Please respond or send a private message with:
Your experience with PS1 model/file (.LGP and BCX) hacking.
The estimated time commitment.
Your proposed commission rate.
Thank you very much for your time and for all the incredible work you contribute to the community.
