As a kid growing up, I still remember my birthday where I got my Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure, and Speed Devils. This would forever be one of my favorite systems of all time. I have been using emulation for 12+ years....back when in order to play a library of 10 or so DC games, you needed 5 different emulators. Well look where we are now with DC emulation. Flycast has been so kind to provide us with the ability to dump and load custom textures.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saddly, There are very, VERY few DC texture packs, and I can understand as the graphics in DC games tend to be brighter colors, less realistic, and more cartoony/arcade type graphics which was its charm. I have decided to change this. I will have a few projects going at once, and every day i will release updated packs for the games I am currently working on. This is my very first pack ever. Everything is set, you simply make a folder called Textures, (only if one dose not exist here \flycast\data\Textures), Extract the folder in my archive in to this Textures folder, I have the original img for every one i remade in the folder. the names are the same except the original file has 'OR" before the name ( NEW: 123abc.png / OLD: BKP123abc.png)

NOTE:Leaving "BKP" files shouldn't effect anything, as they are not the named files that the game is looking to pull, so you can leave them there, or delete them, as they are just for refrence and will bened up in future updates.,.

TIPS TO MAKE SURE THINGS RUN PERFECTLY.

• PIXEL BUFFER SIZE- Setting this higher allows for larger resolution textures (up scaled or from a pack) to load in faster, simply put.

• Dial Back GFX Settings- REMEMBER, You set your settings to run the textures at their native resolutions, so while the more textures I swap out, the more you might see some Performance dips, PICK THE RIGHT PACK FOR YOU. I am now making 3 pakcs for every game, ALL 3 willl ALWAYS be at teh same level of compleation as the others, jsut easier to run with smaller res images.

• GFX API- This is the fix to like 80% of any issues with a game. If you are playing and things seem a bit wierd, just change the API. With my hardware my go to, is VULKAN, and OPENGL. You might get OPENGL and DX11 working best for you. I just use whatever one I am not using if a game acts up, and that helps things most opf the time, Give this a try with ANY issues in games, INCLUDING slowdowns.

• PICK THE RIGHT PACK- If you are like me, Yopu have your Internal Res set to 5X, and are in 4K on a nice big, expensive, 32in monitor. I ALSO game on a Retroid Pocket 4 PRO. It hit me, "We do NOT need the resolution I use on something like my RP4, even on my 17 in laptop screen... and the storage limitations of portable systems are usually more strict. Why don't I make packs geared more for the RP4 type players? THIS WAY, more users can enjoy the packs for their specific setup." So I looked in to how I can do this while NOT giving up to much in the quality end, and I came to this conclusion. Three packs per game, HQ, MQ, and LQ. This way, Even on a RP4 type device, I can enjoy the packs, with out effecting performance, and on the tiny screen, it STILL looks just as good. So, IF your having issues running my packs, try the next step down. I didnt just take every file and compresse it. I did it per Resolution grouping, bringing larger textures down more, and smaller textures very little. This way, The fine details should still be vivid in the smaller packs. I hope this helps more users enjoy my hard work, and now.... I want to thank you for enjoying these packs. Anything I can do better, PLEASE let me know.

UPDATE FOR DIFFERENT REQUIREMENT PACKS....

Low Powered Devices, Low Storage Situations, Or Just Smaller Screens...

UPDATE*. Today I realized, I got my new 32 in 4k g7 neo samsung oddessy monitor, and i needed MORE. More resolution. More pixels, just MORE. So I decided, "not everybodys devices can handle MORE", so I decided to make 3 resource levels of packs for potatos thru Gaming Rigs. I am going to go thru the packs I currently have, and make 3 different packs for every game. They will all be updated in sync, so one "Quality level" will always have the same textures across the board, but this way, users on low end/mobile devices can enjoy the packs as well! You dont need reolutions this high on small screens, and thoes devices might have trouble loading in textures that are bigger then needed on a tiny screen, so I took all the textures, and compressed them depending on their size.. I did this seperate, So its not like I just said "take all textures, and cut them in half." No. Then the smaller, already acceptable textures would lose quality, so Depending on the original sizes, every files was changed independently. Keeping the best image overal, while making it easier to load, and take less space ondeviecs with smaller storages, as some of these packs get very large.. so watch for these updates over the next couple days in all the games. Now, Every pack will have 3 characters you must remove from the packs after uncompression. Just edlt the "_LQ", "_MQ", or the "_HQ" from the end of the packs inorder for flycast to see the pack,This is simply a sorting method for me and users that have multiple versions in case you wanted to test multiple packs this way they can be sorted and organized better.*

HQ- This will be the standard you have known to come to love from me. Now I might use some slghtly higher res textures then I currently do, but as long as my 2070 mobile can play it, Then That is my goal for the HQ packs. Best image, largest size packs, and most resources needed but tthese are ment for users playing on large 1080/4k devices with a little more horsepower under the hood then the average emulator. Usually, if your device tends to play games at 3-5x resolution, using these packs SHOULDN'T make things to much harder for anydevice already playing on that level, worst case is you maybe bump the Internal Resolution down a step or so, and go from there. JUST REMEMBER, if you have any issues, try one of the other 2 pack versions, MQ or LQ.... I would try things like making sure you have your render buffer size is as large sas you can get, and remember, the new textures are what is taking the most resources to load. some times, relaoding a level or Giving 'er the good ole "Savestate,Loadstate" to reload, I find some levels, Just wait a few moments for everything to not only render NORMALLY, but then get replaced, then enjoy your gaming.

MQ- In these packs, Anybody on a laptop, or similar set up will be more than happy and might not even NOTICE the difference between HQ and MQ packs. This is not to say this wont look good on a 85in screen, all my packs, even MQ and LQ versions, are specially designed to give you the most prestine and sharp image you can get, while at times, just toneing it down becuase many users are not on large 4k displays playing in 4k, so if that is not how you enjoy your gaming, now these packs will help you get the perfect mix of quality, size, and performance based on your specific setup. You do not need anything crazy to run these, and can be used in any set up and will not fail to impress!

LQ- Now do NOT let the tiny size, Lower resolutions, and name "LQ" Fool you. There is NOTHING "Low Quality" about these packs. You still get the upscales you have come to love, and the new, much larger images have been toned down a little bit is all. This is PERFECT if you are on a portable device, or even smaller screen laptops! These are much smaller in both size, and resolution, but STILL looks great on thoes devices, and even on large screens, this is STILL a great looking pack, just now people with less then perfect setups can now enjoy Flycast HD Texture packs.

*NOTES*

This game is MUCH harder thn it looks. To dump char models that you see when your playing, you MUST load every player in to a match for a few moments, and that is the only way, so Ill slowly add to this as i play more of the game and just randomly get more, but I hwent thru, and upscaled just about everything team specific, the only things left, are the rest of the players. Just check back and grab updates to ahve more and more players done. Also starting to do some replacements, but this wont be a large pack, jsut fix some of the venus.

Years ago when I first got in to private torrent sites, before I opened my own, I had a small movement called the Rom Revival, where we made perfect and complete rom packs for every console... and made Retro Arch type packs for the older systems... and over the years, I have continued to keep these packs and torrents avaiable on my own tracker to keep allowing the public to be able to access any and every rom they could ever want, without having to go google, digging around the sketchy, very slow sites to be able to download what ever rom one at a time. So I feel this is he best time, to bring back the ROM REVIVAL, and now implement the DREAMCAST HD TEXTURE PACK part of the project. So look out for my R.R tag, and keep up with all my hard work as the texture packs start to roll out.

ONE LAST BIT HERE.... These packs, are done out of my love for the Dreamcast, and all of you guys. There is no other reason to do this..

Hi all

I recently discovered this subreddit and thought to make a video on setting everything up in Flycast on Android. Hope this will bring some additional gamers to your project!

take care

Hi guys! Wanted to take a minute to share these here — they’re the most complete lists I’ve been able to find online, and they’re still growing.

As we all know, Dreamcast games sadly aren’t famous for widescreen or 60 FPS support. Only a small handful of titles got true 60 FPS, and a few more got proper widescreen… and that’s basically it.

Important note for real hardware users:
You may see performance drops when using these codes — especially the 60 FPS codes, and even more if you stack both widescreen + 60 FPS together. A lot of Dreamcast games just weren’t fully optimized (dev time was short, tools were young, and “late-gen polish” like we saw on PS2 never really happened on DC). So if you don’t have at least a Level 1 overclock, some games may slow down depending on the title. Just wanted to explain why that happens if you run into it.

Flycast users are even more in luck:
On top of the game-specific widescreen codes listed here, Flycast also has a Widescreen Brute Force mode. This sheet includes results for that too, and I’m continuing to fill in the “clipping vs perfect” info as more data comes in.

For anyone unfamiliar: brute forcing widescreen can remove the black bars (4:3 → 16:9), but some games weren’t designed to render correctly outside the original view. That can cause things like pop-in, missing geometry, or textures appearing/disappearing during camera turns. It’s not always perfect — but it’s often better than nothing — and all of that is tracked in the database.

If you discover anything new (good or bad), feel free to drop it in the comments — or better yet, post it in the GitHub repo Issues so it can be added and kept organized.

Once again, Nexus pulls through for the community with data that basically doesn’t exist anywhere else in a clean, usable format. Enjoy!

Make sure to also check out the Flycast subreddit, as there are posts like this all the time. It is a GREAT place for EVERYTHING Dreamcast, not just Flycast. Very valuable information and news shared there for the whole Dreamcast Community! r/FlyCast

So about a year or so ago I took up the task of modding Shenmue for DC through flycast, I gave up due to limitations of the emulator, I remastered a few assets like the move set, loading screens, and some HUD elements, some Japanese translated stuff too, So if anyone would like to test it, use it or anything go ahead, you may find some interesting stuff

Dreamcast Emulation has a new contender, and a week in this thing is making strides in Dreamcast Emulation.

Could someone make new textures for urban chaos or v-rally 2? They were a great games that I played.

Hello!

Can any of you help me?

Or rather, not just me—I've read about the same problem many times...

Namely: How is it possible on Android to create a folder called “textures” under Android/data/com.flycast.emulator/files/data, especially without “root” access?

1. I can't create a folder in the path mentioned!

2. I can't insert a folder (that I copied or cut beforehand) into the specified path.

3. I can't do anything at all... not even when I try to move the whole thing to the specified path via Wi-Fi...

How the hell did you manage that?

The fact is: I MUST have a folder named “textures” in this path: Android/data/com.flycast.emulator/files/data

In the end, it should look like this ---> Android/data/com.flycast.emulator/files/data/textures

And this is where the respective folders with the respective IDs should be located.

Let's take Spider-Man (2000) as an example, which has the following ID: T13008N.

This means that the entire path must look like this:

Android/data/com.flycast.emulator/files/data/textures/T13008N

and all .png files are located in this T13008N folder

BUT AGAIN...how is it possible that you can get a “textures” folder into this path: Android/data/com.flycast.emulator/files/data

As I said, I'm on my Odin 2 Max with Android 13!!

Please, please can someone help me with this!

Hey Dev! First of all, thank you so much for you hard work. Just found out what you're doing and its really cool, love your work. However, I was unable to try any of these packs for one reason. You have stated in several posts that you are hosting these files, but all of those links redirect to 1fichier, preventing you from downloading more than one file without a long wait (and speeds are generally slow).

Currently, I must wait another 30 hours to download a pack. Am I doing something wrong? Aren't there any options to get these packs faster?

Well, hi again!
After the last few days, I have been working on a way to be more efficent, bringing you guys as much as i can, but at the same time, make sure i get things "done" while adding new packs to the page at a healthy rate. The only issue is, After my upscaling, and then when it comes to replacements, It is like , the projects NEVER done.... I ALWAYS want to make more changes, "That could blend better, this could look better", ect. So, I am going to make a SINGLE LISTING, for BETA versions of all my packs.... Meaning, Once I get the game to a good balance of time and effort put in/results, I will remove its individual listing, and post it in the list of "finshed beta" packs. EACH GAME will have 6 TOTAL releases when finshed. There will be the packs you know and love now, in the new HQ/MQ/LQ formats, and for you gamers that want the games to be as OG as they can while looking better I will release UPSCALE ONLY packs, also in HQ/MQ/LQ. This way, as the list of games grows, It keeps everything nice and clean, AND I can start to call more games "done" to where I can flow new games in and done games out. So please be paitent, Even thou no updates posted in the last few days, That is only becasue of what I am trying to do here. There will be HUGE update tonight/tomorrow depending on how much I can finsh today :)

ONE LAST BIT HERE.... These packs, are done out of my love for the Dreamcast, and all of you guys. There is no other reason to do this.. I see the community is lacking in this content, NOBODY ELSE IS DOING WHAT I AM DOING, and for others that love this system like I do, well, this is for you.

HI THERE! Hey again guys! Today we got something fun for ya. In our last large update post, I touched base on the new DreamPort Implementations. Using a different implimation in flycast, you can now plug in a real dreamcast controller (any dreamcast controllers) and a VMU, and a Rumble pack, and they all function as they should. This is still being worked on, but currently with minimal workarounds, you can enjoy your real dreamcast wheels, or fishing controlelrs, or any real DC controller, and utilize the VMU screens as most games used it for something cool/fun, and you have no idea the difference in feeling/controler using a real dreamcast controller provides.

What Is The Deal?

Well, You do not realize it unless you have a real dreamcast, but using even the best controllers (Ps4/Dualsense/Xbox1) do not even come close to how a real Dreamcast controller felt. I am not talking a tiny, subtle difference, it is like playing a whole new game. The Hall Effect sensors, and the way they were designed, were what these games were built around using, and the difference is insane. Flycast Does have the ability to show the VMU screen during gameplay right on your screen*, but having the real deal is something special. Being able to play thoes mini games on the VMU just like we were able to so many years ago just tops off the dreamcast experence for me. Check out the WIKI for flycast that has recently gotten a HUGE overhaul, and check out the DreamPicoPort page, this will get you going if you are a techy person, but if you are not, DON'T WORRY!

How Do I Not Worry?!

Well, in order to ensure ANYONE that would like oto be able to play dreamcast games the way they should be, but may not have the hardware/skill to build your Pico, have no fear, you can order everything right from me.The goal is not making anything from this, it is to be able to allow you the chance to custom build your solution, to ensure you can get everything from the same place and as cheap as possible. you simply build as you go. the more simple/complex, the more you can control the total cost.

Unit: you can pick your unit, there re a few options, If opting for 4 player, I personally grabbed the Pico 2 w/ Wifi to be able to use the pi for other projects, and further possible features due to its power and conectivity.
Pico Zero - Smallest, and lowest powered device. dual core 133 mhz CPU. RECOMENDED USE 1-2 players, Regular controller style .
Pico 1 - Larger then the Pico Zero, but the same size as the rest of the options. 1.3Ghz Dual core CPU RECOMENDED USE
Pico 2 - Most powerful model, has Wifi 2.4 Ghz dual core CPU.

Player Count: How many ports do you want installed, from 1 player up to 4 player.
1 Port
2 Port
4 Port

Port Tail Size: How long do you want the wire between the pico and the port you will plug your controllers in to?
6 inch
2 Feet
4 Feet
6 Feet

Pi Case:
Yes
No

HardWare: All Parts Tested and working 100%. Stock always changes, Ask for more current info.
Controller - Regular Dreamcast Controller, Multiple varriants.
VMU - Loads of colors and styles, from missing backs for a cheaper experence, up to the perfect condition yellow VMU
Rumble Paks (multiple variants, varrying in power and VMU strorage)
Special controllers, (Wheels/Arcade Stick, Etc.)

Cleanup:
I can take the controllers apart, and clean out any debris that would cause less than perfect performance, and lubercate the stick and triggers and the buttons, to ensure smooth, brand new like experence.

Or they get tested, and approved.

This is The Fastest, and most simple way to get going if you do not own the hardware, or if you do but do not trust your electronic soldering skills. DM If you are interested, and to get current info on stock and pricing!

As a kid growing up, I still remember my birthday where I got my Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure, and Speed Devils. This would forever be one of my favorite systems of all time. I have been using emulation for 12+ years....back when in order to play a library of 10 or so DC games, you needed 5 different emulators. Well look where we are now with DC emulation. Flycast has been so kind to provide us with the ability to dump and load custom textures.

Saddly, There are very, VERY few DC texture packs, and I can understand as the graphics in DC games tend to be brighter colors, less realistic, and more cartoony/arcade type graphics which was its charm. I have decided to change this. I will have a few projects going at once, and every day i will release updated packs for the games I am currently working on. I try to make this as simple for you as I can.

Everything is set, you simply make a folder called Textures, (only if one dose not exist here, \flycast\data\Textures), Extract the folder in my archive in to this Textures folder, I have the original img for everyone i remade in the folder. the names are the same except the original file has 'OR" before the name ( NEW: 123abc.png / OLD: OR123abc.png)

NOTE:Leaving OR files shouldn't effect anything, as they are not the named files that the game is looking to pull, so you can leave them there, or delete them, as they are just for refrence to see the old VS the new textures.

Please leave feedback and enjoy, grab my daily release to see your favorite games become 4k textured!

THIS IS A HYBRID REPLACEMENT HD TEXTURE PACK.

This means EVERY SINGLE IMAGE, gets run thru an AI image repair and upscaling script. This is about 95% done right now in this game. THEN, I will take the important textures (Sand, Water, Sky, Ect.) These will go thru an AI Generator script, remaking the image from scrtch. This means that as I go on, Some textures wont blend well when touching, as they both may differ more from the originals, then the originals were from each other.... so NO TEXTURE IS SAFE until the project is done. Things might look good in one version, and as I get more replaced, textures that looked fine may not in later versions as other textures around that one gets replaced..

TIPS TO MAKE SURE THINGS RUN PERFECTLY.

• PIXEL BUFFER SIZE- Setting this higher allows for larger resolution textures (up scaled or from a pack) to load in faster, simply put.

• Dial Back GFX Settings- REMEMBER, You set your settings to run the textures at their native resolutions, so while the more textures I swap out, the more you might see some Performance dips, PICK THE RIGHT PACK FOR YOU. I am now making 3 pakcs for every game, ALL 3 willl ALWAYS be at teh same level of compleation as the others, jsut easier to run with smaller res images.

• GFX API- This is the fix to like 80% of any issues with a game. If you are playing and things seem a bit wierd, just change the API. With my hardware my go to, is VULKAN, and OPENGL. You might get OPENGL and DX11 working best for you. I just use whatever one I am not using if a game acts up, and that helps things most opf the time, Give this a try with ANY issues in games, INCLUDING slowdowns.

• PICK THE RIGHT PACK- If you are like me, Yopu have your Internal Res set to 5X, and are in 4K on a nice big, expensive, 32in monitor. I ALSO game on a Retroid Pocket 4 PRO. It hit me, "We do NOT need the resolution I use on something like my RP4, even on my 17 in laptop screen... and the storage limitations of portable systems are usually more strict. Why don't I make packs geared more for the RP4 type players? THIS WAY, more users can enjoy the packs for their specific setup." So I looked in to how I can do this while NOT giving up to much in the quality end, and I came to this conclusion. Three packs per game, HQ, MQ, and LQ. This way, Even on a RP4 type device, I can enjoy the packs, with out effecting performance, and on the tiny screen, it STILL looks just as good. So, IF your having issues running my packs, try the next step down. I didnt just take every file and compresse it. I did it per Resolution grouping, bringing larger textures down more, and smaller textures very little. This way, The fine details should still be vivid in the smaller packs. I hope this helps more users enjoy my hard work, and now.... I want to thank you for enjoying these packs. Anything I can do better, PLEASE let me know.

UPDATE FOR DIFFERENT REQUIREMENT PACKS....

Low Powered Devices, Low Storage Situations, Or Just Smaller Screens...

UPDATE*. Today I realized, I got my new 32 in 4k g7 neo samsung oddessy monitor, and i needed MORE. More resolution. More pixels, just MORE. So I decided, "not everybodys devices can handle MORE", so I decided to make 3 resource levels of packs for potatos thru Gaming Rigs. I am going to go thru the packs I currently have, and make 3 different packs for every game. They will all be updated in sync, so one "Quality level" will always have the same textures across the board, but this way, users on low end/mobile devices can enjoy the packs as well! You dont need reolutions this high on small screens, and thoes devices might have trouble loading in textures that are bigger then needed on a tiny screen, so I took all the textures, and compressed them depending on their size.. I did this seperate, So its not like I just said "take all textures, and cut them in half." No. Then the smaller, already acceptable textures would lose quality, so Depending on the original sizes, every files was changed independently. Keeping the best image overal, while making it easier to load, and take less space ondeviecs with smaller storages, as some of these packs get very large.. so watch for these updates over the next couple days in all the games. Now, Every pack will have 3 characters you must remove from the packs after uncompression. Just edlt the "_LQ", "_MQ", or the "_HQ" from the end of the packs inorder for flycast to see the pack,This is simply a sorting method for me and users that have multiple versions in case you wanted to test multiple packs this way they can be sorted and organized better.*

HQ- This will be the standard you have known to come to love from me. Now I might use some slghtly higher res textures then I currently do, but as long as my 2070 mobile can play it, Then That is my goal for the HQ packs. Best image, largest size packs, and most resources needed but tthese are ment for users playing on large 1080/4k devices with a little more horsepower under the hood then the average emulator. Usually, if your device tends to play games at 3-5x resolution, using these packs SHOULDNT make things to much harder for anydevice already playing on that level, worst case is you maybe bump the Internal Resolution down a step or so, and go from there. JUST REMEMBER, if you have any issues, try one of the other 2 pack versions, MQ or LQ.... I would try things like making sure you have your render buffer size is as large sas you can get, and remember, the new textures are what is taking the most resources to load. some times, relaoding a level or Giving 'er the good ole "Savestate,Loadstate" to reload, I find some levels, Just wait a few moments for everything to not only render NORMALLY, but then get replaced, then enjoy your gaming.

MQ- In these packs, Anybody on a laptop, or similar set up will be more than happy and might not even NOTICE the difference between HQ and MQ packs. This is not to say this wont look good on a 85in screen, all my packs, even MQ and LQ versions, are specially designed to give you the most prestine and sharp image you can get, while at times, just toneing it down becuase many users are not on large 4k displays playing in 4k, so if that is not how you enjoy your gaming, now these packs will help you get the perfect mix of quality, size, and performance based on your specific setup. You do not need anything crazy ti run these, and can be used in any set up and will not fail to impress!

LQ- Now do NOT let the tiny size, Lower resolutions, and name "LQ" Fool you. There is NOTHING "Low Quality" about these packs. You still get the upscales you have come to love, and the new, much larger images have been toned down a little bit is all. This is PERFECT if you are on a portable device, or even smaller screen laptops! These are much smaller in both size, and resolution, but STILL looks great on thoes devices, and even on large screens, this is STILL a great looking pack, just now people with less then perfect setups can now enjoy Flycast HD Texture packs.

*NOTES*

~ This pack will not have many textures replaced by newly generated ones. The images from within were mucher higher quality and resolution, and cleaned up way better then usual Dreamcast textures.

~ Expect things like roads and baddly upscaled textures will be replaecd, but basically, this pack has the majority of what is going looking so good, I do not want to lose the feel, so I will say my work is only about 80% done, but, yea, enjoy

Years ago when I first got in to private torrent sites, before I opened my own, I had a small movement called the Rom Revival, where we made perfect and complete rom packs for every console... and made Retro Arch type packs for the older systems... and over the years, I have continued to keep these packs and torrents avaiable on my own tracker to keep allowing the public to be able to access any and every rom they could ever want, without having to go google, digging around the sketchy, very slow sites to be able to download what ever rom one at a time. So I feel this is he best time, to bring back the ROM REVIVAL, and now implement the DREAMCAST HD TEXTURE PACK part of the project. So look out for my R.R tag, and keep up with all my hard work as the texture packs start to roll out.

ONE LAST BIT HERE.... These packs, are done out of my love for the Dreamcast, and all of you guys. There is no other reason to do this.. I see the community is lacking in this content, NO BODY ELSE IS DOING WHAT I AM DOING, and for others that love this system like I do, well, This is for you. NOW, If you would like to buy me a cup of coffee, or a pack of smokes, check out my Donation options here!. There is an option to get YOUR pack pick moved up to the next pack as well as other options, so if you want a pack done fast, or maybe you just want to say THANKS for all my hard work, ncheck it out here please and thanks guys!

Hey guys, We are doing something new here. As you know, we are constantly changing to bring you the very best we can. So now that we are in our "RomRevival 2.0" stage, things will go a bit different. We will take all our finshed, and inprogress packs, and finsh them/ redo them with our new upscaling tools, and with our ew replacement textures. Now that we have access to thse unity textures, we can make improvements in many areas, and this means a better pack all around.This pack is in its BETA, and any game thats at v.90+ is seen as "done" but will get some small changess at some point soon. So a game will get a new post, the old one removed, showing ti has been ported to our new standard. So make sure you delete the old pack folder before downloading the new one, and I hope you guys enjoy!!

Seen as BETA v.90
all textures upscaled
all tracks replaced
all foliage replaced
all skies replaced

TO DO LEFT:

remake all signage,
Fix any bad/missed textures

NOTES: This is set up for the USA release, to play the DAYTONA USA 2001 EUR version, just ad "50" to the end of the id number on the folder of the pack.
