I. Installing the Pack

II. FAQ (at least questions I think would be frequently asked)

Should I use the PCSX2 version or Dolphin?

As of now, the PCSX2 version is the most feature complete. It includes more textures in Konquest mode, and brand new fonts. However, if you want more characters and sometimes noticeably higher quality textures, use Dolphin.

Honestly, as both versions reach parity in the coming months, Dolphin will likely be the superior way to play due to it including online multiplayer (through Dolphin Netplay), 2 exclusive characters, and higher quality textures. There may be some version differences that I'm not aware of that may add to the pros and cons, but I'm not entirely sure at this time.

Why does the Dolphin port have higher quality textures? I thought the packs were equal?

That was the initial plan, yes. But the differences in how PCSX2 & Dolphin both handle texture replacement made copying the textures 1:1 extremely tedious, so myself and Rougesome dumped and replaced all textures from scratch again. Since different AI upscalers were used, they both produced different results, and the upscaler used in the Dolphin pack just so happened to produce higher quality results.

Why did you use different upscalers? Do you plan on porting the higher quality textures back to PCSX2?

I used Waifu2x for PCSX2. I used Topaz Gigapixel for Dolphin. One is free, the other is not. I did start to use Gigapixel in later versions of PCSX2, but primarily, most of the textures were upscaled in Waifu2x.

I don't particularly plan on porting the Dolphin textures to PCSX2 at this time. Maybe once the pack is finished I will go back and do that, but I imagine that is months and months away.

When will the Dolphin port be up-to-par with PCSX2?

Not sure. Watch the Github or follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates.
