good you feel like that looks anyways good you feel like that looks anyways that's enough rambling let's get started that's enough rambling let's get started that's enough rambling let's get started with this tutorial hey guys Nish quick with this tutorial hey guys Nish quick with this tutorial hey guys Nish quick here and welcome back to a tutorial here and welcome back to a tutorial here and welcome back to a tutorial video I haven't done a tutorial video in video I haven't done a tutorial video in video I haven't done a tutorial video in a while but I have recently completed a while but I have recently completed a while but I have recently completed Xeno gears and I wanted to make this Xeno gears and I wanted to make this Xeno gears and I wanted to make this kind of tutorial and explain my kind of tutorial and explain my kind of tutorial and explain my preferred way to play Xeno gears in the preferred way to play Xeno gears in the preferred way to play Xeno gears in the year of Our Lord year of Our Lord year of Our Lord 2024 it's a very old game it came out in 2024 it's a very old game it came out in 2024 it's a very old game it came out in 1998 but I think it still holds up in 1998 but I think it still holds up in 1998 but I think it still holds up in many ways but I have some kind of tips many ways but I have some kind of tips many ways but I have some kind of tips and tricks for you guys to make this a and tricks for you guys to make this a and tricks for you guys to make this a very enjoyable experience and make it very enjoyable experience and make it very enjoyable experience and make it feel almost like a modern remaster not feel almost like a modern remaster not feel almost like a modern remaster not exactly like a modern remaster you might exactly like a modern remaster you might exactly like a modern remaster you might see a little bit of stuff over here some see a little bit of stuff over here some see a little bit of stuff over here some footage over here that makes this game footage over here that makes this game footage over here that makes this game look a little better but I want to look a little better but I want to look a little better but I want to explain to you guys three things that I explain to you guys three things that I explain to you guys three things that I use three methods that I personally used use three methods that I personally used use three methods that I personally used to enhance my Xenogears experience those to enhance my Xenogears experience those to enhance my Xenogears experience those three things are one the perfect Works three things are one the perfect Works three things are one the perfect Works build rom hack or mod that is a very big build rom hack or mod that is a very big build rom hack or mod that is a very big uh factor into all this the second is uh factor into all this the second is uh factor into all this the second is texture texture texture Replacements which some of these you Replacements which some of these you Replacements which some of these you might be able to see here on the screen might be able to see here on the screen might be able to see here on the screen right now and then one final thing is right now and then one final thing is right now and then one final thing is called the perfect called the perfect called the perfect artworks um texture replacements for the artworks um texture replacements for the artworks um texture replacements for the portraits as you can see curet over here

portraits as you can see curet over here portraits as you can see curet over here looking really good in looking really good in looking really good in HD and let's let's go over here to HD and let's let's go over here to HD and let's let's go over here to someone else let's talk to Vance look at someone else let's talk to Vance look at someone else let's talk to Vance look at him look at how crisp and perfect his him look at how crisp and perfect his him look at how crisp and perfect his portrait looks in HD sorry I don't want portrait looks in HD sorry I don't want portrait looks in HD sorry I don't want to hear the sounds you've recorded right to hear the sounds you've recorded right to hear the sounds you've recorded right now but and you can even go over here in now but and you can even go over here in now but and you can even go over here in you can see the portraits of the you can see the portraits of the you can see the portraits of the characters the UI elements are much characters the UI elements are much characters the UI elements are much nicer to look at and all that so that's nicer to look at and all that so that's nicer to look at and all that so that's what the perfect artworks mod does it what the perfect artworks mod does it what the perfect artworks mod does it replaces the portraits and the UI replaces the portraits and the UI replaces the portraits and the UI elements so I'm going to talk about each elements so I'm going to talk about each elements so I'm going to talk about each of these three um enhancements in detail of these three um enhancements in detail of these three um enhancements in detail in this video and this is by no means me in this video and this is by no means me in this video and this is by no means me telling you how to play this game you telling you how to play this game you telling you how to play this game you guys can play it however you want you guys can play it however you want you guys can play it however you want you guys can play on original hardware and guys can play on original hardware and guys can play on original hardware and just play this game in whatever way that just play this game in whatever way that just play this game in whatever way that you feel like playing you can do a few you feel like playing you can do a few you feel like playing you can do a few of these methods you can do none of of these methods you can do none of of these methods you can do none of these methods you can do all of them it these methods you can do all of them it these methods you can do all of them it is entirely up to you this is just my is entirely up to you this is just my is entirely up to you this is just my suggestions and this is what I got out suggestions and this is what I got out suggestions and this is what I got out of the experience playing Xeno gears in of the experience playing Xeno gears in of the experience playing Xeno gears in 2024 and if you guys enjoy this video 2024 and if you guys enjoy this video 2024 and if you guys enjoy this video hit the like button subscribe for more hit the like button subscribe for more hit the like button subscribe for more content like this I'll be making more content like this I'll be making more content like this I'll be making more content on Xeno gears since I recently content on Xeno gears since I recently content on Xeno gears since I recently completed the game and I'm very excited completed the game and I'm very excited completed the game and I'm very excited to talk about this more on the channel to talk about this more on the channel to talk about this more on the channel anyways let's get started I think I'll anyways let's get started I think I'll anyways let's get started I think I'll start with the perfect Works build start with the perfect Works build start with the perfect Works build because that is a very important aspect

download it we going to come in here and download it we going to come in here and obviously just obviously just obviously just extract just's wait for it to extract extract just's wait for it to extract extract just's wait for it to extract it's taking a little bit of time all it's taking a little bit of time all it's taking a little bit of time all right there it is this is the most right there it is this is the most right there it is this is the most recent version this is recent version this is recent version this is 0.4.7 I start did my playthrough of Xeno 0.4.7 I start did my playthrough of Xeno 0.4.7 I start did my playthrough of Xeno gears with gears with gears with 0.4.4 then I eventually upgraded to 0.4.4 then I eventually upgraded to 0.4.4 then I eventually upgraded to 0.4.6 I'll tell you guys exactly 0.4.6 I'll tell you guys exactly 0.4.6 I'll tell you guys exactly why okay so here here it is all right why okay so here here it is all right why okay so here here it is all right now that we have our ROM and everything now that we have our ROM and everything now that we have our ROM and everything that we want I just wanted to uh go over that we want I just wanted to uh go over that we want I just wanted to uh go over some of these quality of life some of these quality of life some of these quality of life improvements and everything that I put improvements and everything that I put improvements and everything that I put in over here so this is 0.4.7 so here's how I played the game so so here's how I played the game so quality of life features I did half quality of life features I did half quality of life features I did half encounters I did the fast text the fast encounters I did the fast text the fast encounters I did the fast text the fast text and the r half encounters really text and the r half encounters really text and the r half encounters really will shave off a lot of time in your will shave off a lot of time in your will shave off a lot of time in your playthrough honestly it it it will playthrough honestly it it it will playthrough honestly it it it will actually save a lot of time I'm I'm not actually save a lot of time I'm I'm not actually save a lot of time I'm I'm not even kidding readjusted portraits and even kidding readjusted portraits and even kidding readjusted portraits and graphical fixes I did not check these graphical fixes I did not check these graphical fixes I did not check these because I was nervous that it would kind because I was nervous that it would kind because I was nervous that it would kind of interfere with the other texture of interfere with the other texture of interfere with the other texture replacement mods that I was going to put replacement mods that I was going to put replacement mods that I was going to put put in later into my playthrough and put in later into my playthrough and put in later into my playthrough and later into the later into the later into the game and so those are the quality of game and so those are the quality of game and so those are the quality of life things that are there um to life things that are there um to life things that are there um to accommodate to the half Random accommodate to the half Random accommodate to the half Random Encounters it balances the game out by

Encounters it balances the game out by Encounters it balances the game out by giving you 1.5 times exp and gold so a giving you 1.5 times exp and gold so a giving you 1.5 times exp and gold so a lot of the game isn't going to feel as lot of the game isn't going to feel as lot of the game isn't going to feel as difficult because you're not getting difficult because you're not getting difficult because you're not getting into as many battles so that's that's a into as many battles so that's that's a into as many battles so that's that's a nice kind of Readjustment there nice kind of Readjustment there nice kind of Readjustment there rebalance items and characters rebalance items and characters rebalance items and characters rebalanced monsters I click both of rebalanced monsters I click both of rebalanced monsters I click both of those what the rebalanced monsters thing those what the rebalanced monsters thing those what the rebalanced monsters thing does is um there are some fights in the does is um there are some fights in the does is um there are some fights in the beginning of the game which are really beginning of the game which are really beginning of the game which are really really difficult and it kind of really difficult and it kind of really difficult and it kind of readjusts them to be a little more readjusts them to be a little more readjusts them to be a little more accommodating like I'll give you guys an accommodating like I'll give you guys an accommodating like I'll give you guys an example of those who you might have example of those who you might have example of those who you might have played the game um I think the Calamity played the game um I think the Calamity played the game um I think the Calamity fight in the stalactite cave is very fight in the stalactite cave is very fight in the stalactite cave is very very very tough for newcomers and even very very tough for newcomers and even very very tough for newcomers and even one of my friends who's not playing with one of my friends who's not playing with one of my friends who's not playing with perfect Works Patcher he had a really perfect Works Patcher he had a really perfect Works Patcher he had a really tough time with Calamity whereas I beat tough time with Calamity whereas I beat tough time with Calamity whereas I beat Calamity on my first try but I will say Calamity on my first try but I will say Calamity on my first try but I will say this rebalanced Monsters uh tick over this rebalanced Monsters uh tick over this rebalanced Monsters uh tick over here will um make some fights much later here will um make some fights much later here will um make some fights much later on into the game into disc 2 a lot on into the game into disc 2 a lot on into the game into disc 2 a lot harder but I didn't find this to be a harder but I didn't find this to be a harder but I didn't find this to be a problem because um a lot of the guides I problem because um a lot of the guides I problem because um a lot of the guides I was looking at for disc 2 said oh this was looking at for disc 2 said oh this was looking at for disc 2 said oh this fight is a cakewalk this fight is so fight is a cakewalk this fight is so fight is a cakewalk this fight is so easy this fight isn't that bad and then easy this fight isn't that bad and then easy this fight isn't that bad and then I got to the fight and it was really I got to the fight and it was really I got to the fight and it was really really tough but I eventually still beat really tough but I eventually still beat really tough but I eventually still beat them wasn't that tough but those fights them wasn't that tough but those fights them wasn't that tough but those fights are like really high octane really like are like really high octane really like are like really high octane really like awesome really badass fight so having awesome really badass fight so having awesome really badass fight so having them be a little more difficult just them be a little more difficult just them be a little more difficult just kind of up the anti a bit so that was kind of up the anti a bit so that was kind of up the anti a bit so that was fine um Arena rebounds expert rebounds I

fine um Arena rebounds expert rebounds I fine um Arena rebounds expert rebounds I didn't really touch these two that much didn't really touch these two that much didn't really touch these two that much because those are um specific to the um because those are um specific to the um because those are um specific to the um kissla battle arena I think I think kissla battle arena I think I think kissla battle arena I think I think don't quote me on that but yeah um story don't quote me on that but yeah um story don't quote me on that but yeah um story FMV changes I don't really know what FMV changes I don't really know what FMV changes I don't really know what that does I did click this though so I that does I did click this though so I that does I did click this though so I clicked the FMV changes and the script clicked the FMV changes and the script clicked the FMV changes and the script and name changes that is the most and name changes that is the most and name changes that is the most important thing script and name changes important thing script and name changes important thing script and name changes is going is going is going to um adjust the localization and to um adjust the localization and to um adjust the localization and translation and change some of the names translation and change some of the names translation and change some of the names in the game of locations and characters in the game of locations and characters in the game of locations and characters I will say I wasn't a fan of all of the I will say I wasn't a fan of all of the I will say I wasn't a fan of all of the name changes but most of them were were name changes but most of them were were name changes but most of them were were good most of them made sense and most of good most of them made sense and most of good most of them made sense and most of them I appreciated uh a lot of it was them I appreciated uh a lot of it was them I appreciated uh a lot of it was mostly um the locations that I was like mostly um the locations that I was like mostly um the locations that I was like h i I prefer the original name but it's h i I prefer the original name but it's h i I prefer the original name but it's fine it's not that big of a deal and fine it's not that big of a deal and fine it's not that big of a deal and with everything that they're putting with everything that they're putting with everything that they're putting into this I'm really like appreciative into this I'm really like appreciative into this I'm really like appreciative of all the all the work and all the of all the all the work and all the of all the all the work and all the changes that they're adding to this and changes that they're adding to this and changes that they're adding to this and I think uh down the road later on I think uh down the road later on I think uh down the road later on there's going to be um an option where there's going to be um an option where there's going to be um an option where you can adjust the script but keep the you can adjust the script but keep the you can adjust the script but keep the names the same or something like that um names the same or something like that um names the same or something like that um I'll keep a lookout for that so one more I'll keep a lookout for that so one more I'll keep a lookout for that so one more thing before we go into patching this thing before we go into patching this thing before we go into patching this and me showing you how this all works and me showing you how this all works and me showing you how this all works and the patching and all that I want to and the patching and all that I want to and the patching and all that I want to say that earlier builds of the perfect say that earlier builds of the perfect say that earlier builds of the perfect Works Patcher I can see if I still have

Works Patcher I can see if I still have Works Patcher I can see if I still have mine downloaded I'll go here and show mine downloaded I'll go here and show mine downloaded I'll go here and show you basically earlier builds of perfect you basically earlier builds of perfect you basically earlier builds of perfect Works mod had an option for music Works mod had an option for music Works mod had an option for music changes and I want to talk about that changes and I want to talk about that changes and I want to talk about that really quick ah ha here it is music really quick ah ha here it is music really quick ah ha here it is music changes so it is under story FMV changes changes so it is under story FMV changes changes so it is under story FMV changes script name changes music changes what script name changes music changes what script name changes music changes what this means is um if you didn't know uh this means is um if you didn't know uh this means is um if you didn't know uh Xenogears had a lot of uh reuse of a lot Xenogears had a lot of uh reuse of a lot Xenogears had a lot of uh reuse of a lot of the songs because if you look in the of the songs because if you look in the of the songs because if you look in the OST in the soundtrack it's not as long OST in the soundtrack it's not as long OST in the soundtrack it's not as long as something like Final Fantasy 7 or 9 as something like Final Fantasy 7 or 9 as something like Final Fantasy 7 or 9 or even like a Chrono Trigger which Yas or even like a Chrono Trigger which Yas or even like a Chrono Trigger which Yas MIT also did of course there's a lot of MIT also did of course there's a lot of MIT also did of course there's a lot of reasons behind that the developmental reasons behind that the developmental reasons behind that the developmental struggles the timeline the crunch all struggles the timeline the crunch all struggles the timeline the crunch all that so one problem that a lot of people that so one problem that a lot of people that so one problem that a lot of people have noticed with Xenogears is there's have noticed with Xenogears is there's have noticed with Xenogears is there's some songs and some moments that don't some songs and some moments that don't some songs and some moments that don't fit in with particular parts of the game fit in with particular parts of the game fit in with particular parts of the game and what this earlier version did is it and what this earlier version did is it and what this earlier version did is it switched some songs around and the mood switched some songs around and the mood switched some songs around and the mood and the vibe just fits a little bit and the vibe just fits a little bit and the vibe just fits a little bit better with an appropriate song in place better with an appropriate song in place better with an appropriate song in place of what was currently there I will say of what was currently there I will say of what was currently there I will say um there is a reason that it's not in um there is a reason that it's not in um there is a reason that it's not in 0.4.7 and I will say I encountered this 0.4.7 and I will say I encountered this 0.4.7 and I will say I encountered this issue it's um maybe a little bit before issue it's um maybe a little bit before issue it's um maybe a little bit before the halfway point of dis one what the halfway point of dis one what the halfway point of dis one what happened is there was a song playing happened is there was a song playing happened is there was a song playing it's called Blue traveler and it cause it's called Blue traveler and it cause it's called Blue traveler and it cause because this music changes tick was on

because this music changes tick was on because this music changes tick was on it caused the game to freeze and I just it caused the game to freeze and I just it caused the game to freeze and I just couldn't continue for a while and then I couldn't continue for a while and then I couldn't continue for a while and then I um contacted noar and some of the other um contacted noar and some of the other um contacted noar and some of the other people on the Discord server and then I people on the Discord server and then I people on the Discord server and then I realized it was because of the name realized it was because of the name realized it was because of the name changes so I went back repatched my ROM changes so I went back repatched my ROM changes so I went back repatched my ROM and regenerated it without the music and regenerated it without the music and regenerated it without the music changes and it worked perfectly fine and changes and it worked perfectly fine and changes and it worked perfectly fine and that option is not here in that option is not here in that option is not here in 0.4.7 not the biggest like issue ever 0.4.7 not the biggest like issue ever 0.4.7 not the biggest like issue ever but it's totally forgivable there's so but it's totally forgivable there's so but it's totally forgivable there's so much work being put into this and if it much work being put into this and if it much work being put into this and if it was just a simple music change that was just a simple music change that was just a simple music change that fixed it that was totally fine and um fixed it that was totally fine and um fixed it that was totally fine and um the rest of the game was smooth sailing the rest of the game was smooth sailing the rest of the game was smooth sailing no issues with any of the other things no issues with any of the other things no issues with any of the other things that I had ticked over here so anyways that I had ticked over here so anyways that I had ticked over here so anyways with that all out of the way let's with that all out of the way let's with that all out of the way let's finally get into showing you guys how to finally get into showing you guys how to finally get into showing you guys how to patch patch patch this okay so you're going to need your this okay so you're going to need your this okay so you're going to need your dis one and dis 2 files which you've dis one and dis 2 files which you've dis one and dis 2 files which you've gotten from your actual physical copy of gotten from your actual physical copy of gotten from your actual physical copy of Xeno gears that you bought online or Xeno gears that you bought online or Xeno gears that you bought online or you've bought all the way back in 1998 you've bought all the way back in 1998 you've bought all the way back in 1998 right okay anyways so let's go go to right okay anyways so let's go go to right okay anyways so let's go go to browse let's find where my ROM browse let's find where my ROM browse let's find where my ROM is here ah here it is here ah here it is here ah here it is so what you're going to do is it'll is so what you're going to do is it'll is so what you're going to do is it'll only ask for the bin file so you're only ask for the bin file so you're only ask for the bin file so you're going to open your bin file for dis going to open your bin file for dis going to open your bin file for dis one and go to dis

one and go to dis one and go to dis two open your bin file for dis two and you're going to put it two and you're going to put it everything that you want so I did these everything that you want so I did these everything that you want so I did these and I'm going to um not include these and I'm going to um not include these and I'm going to um not include these because I'm going to talk about the because I'm going to talk about the because I'm going to talk about the texture Replacements later and those texture Replacements later and those texture Replacements later and those might interfere with the texture might interfere with the texture might interfere with the texture replacement so going to do these all replacement so going to do these all replacement so going to do these all good um I guess I'll just do that for good um I guess I'll just do that for good um I guess I'll just do that for this and FMV changes and script changes this and FMV changes and script changes this and FMV changes and script changes perfect because there is no music perfect because there is no music perfect because there is no music changes I don't need to worry about changes I don't need to worry about changes I don't need to worry about anything like that so all these should anything like that so all these should anything like that so all these should work perfectly and now going to work perfectly and now going to work perfectly and now going to patch oh man the blue cycle of patch oh man the blue cycle of patch oh man the blue cycle of Eternity oh my God it's the terminal Eternity oh my God it's the terminal Eternity oh my God it's the terminal what does this mean just wait it out a what does this mean just wait it out a what does this mean just wait it out a bit and it's it's finishing patch was bit and it's it's finishing patch was bit and it's it's finishing patch was completed successfully use ECC Regen to completed successfully use ECC Regen to completed successfully use ECC Regen to see if the bin file needs to be see if the bin file needs to be see if the bin file needs to be regenerated that is important so over regenerated that is important so over regenerated that is important so over here you got the instructions patching here you got the instructions patching here you got the instructions patching you like do all the patching you need to you like do all the patching you need to you like do all the patching you need to download this thing over here and it's download this thing over here and it's download this thing over here and it's in their GitHub it's called ECC regen in their GitHub it's called ECC regen in their GitHub it's called ECC regen because if you go in and jump into the because if you go in and jump into the because if you go in and jump into the game using those ROMs that have been game using those ROMs that have been game using those ROMs that have been pasted right now what happened to me is pasted right now what happened to me is pasted right now what happened to me is when I was playing on retro Arch I got when I was playing on retro Arch I got when I was playing on retro Arch I got to the beginning of the game it said to the beginning of the game it said to the beginning of the game it said like I'm Alpha and Omega the beginning like I'm Alpha and Omega the beginning like I'm Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end the first and the last after and the end the first and the last after and the end the first and the last after that the game just froze and it stopped

that the game just froze and it stopped that the game just froze and it stopped working so you you have to regenerate working so you you have to regenerate working so you you have to regenerate that's the term so let's go and that's the term so let's go and that's the term so let's go and regenerate this but I wanted to remind regenerate this but I wanted to remind regenerate this but I wanted to remind you guys your patched ROMs will probably you guys your patched ROMs will probably you guys your patched ROMs will probably not be in the folder where your ROM is not be in the folder where your ROM is not be in the folder where your ROM is actually located in it will be in the actually located in it will be in the actually located in it will be in the folder where perfect works folder where perfect works folder where perfect works 0.4.7 or whatever version you have it'll 0.4.7 or whatever version you have it'll 0.4.7 or whatever version you have it'll be in that perfect Works folder see be in that perfect Works folder see be in that perfect Works folder see right there I'm filming this on August right there I'm filming this on August right there I'm filming this on August 19th yep 557 p.m. yep here they are here 19th yep 557 p.m. yep here they are here 19th yep 557 p.m. yep here they are here are my bin in Q files you're going to are my bin in Q files you're going to are my bin in Q files you're going to need these so let me make a folder call need these so let me make a folder call need these so let me make a folder call this Zeno gears perfect Works build um this Zeno gears perfect Works build um this Zeno gears perfect Works build um August cuz it's August whatever and I'll August cuz it's August whatever and I'll August cuz it's August whatever and I'll put them all in here and just to be put them all in here and just to be put them all in here and just to be organized put in a dis dis organized put in a dis dis organized put in a dis dis one and dis 2 when you're playing like retro and dis 2 when you're playing like retro games like this and managing so many games like this and managing so many games like this and managing so many files I I like to try to be as organized files I I like to try to be as organized files I I like to try to be as organized as I can so yeah dis one dis two okay so as I can so yeah dis one dis two okay so as I can so yeah dis one dis two okay so now let's do that ECC regen thing give now let's do that ECC regen thing give now let's do that ECC regen thing give me a sec I have to find it in my me a sec I have to find it in my me a sec I have to find it in my downloads downloads downloads fold ah here it is okay so I oh my God fold ah here it is okay so I oh my God fold ah here it is okay so I oh my God downloaded this all the way back in June

everything that's a very important step everything that's a very important step so now so now so now you have your you have your you have your Zeno gears perfect Works build August so Zeno gears perfect Works build August so Zeno gears perfect Works build August so you have everything here perfect works you have everything here perfect works you have everything here perfect works yeah Xeno gearscore pwor cd1 and same yeah Xeno gearscore pwor cd1 and same yeah Xeno gearscore pwor cd1 and same thing Xeno gearscore pwor cd2 and you thing Xeno gearscore pwor cd2 and you thing Xeno gearscore pwor cd2 and you you're basically good to go if all you you're basically good to go if all you you're basically good to go if all you wanted to do was get a general wanted to do was get a general wanted to do was get a general retranslation quality of life retranslation quality of life retranslation quality of life improvements rebalancing you're good to improvements rebalancing you're good to improvements rebalancing you're good to go choose your emulator of choice jump go choose your emulator of choice jump go choose your emulator of choice jump in you're good to go and I forgot to in you're good to go and I forgot to in you're good to go and I forgot to mention this earlier but um I I might mention this earlier but um I I might mention this earlier but um I I might want to like clip this on to the want to like clip this on to the want to like clip this on to the beginning of the video as well but um if beginning of the video as well but um if beginning of the video as well but um if you are only planning to play with you are only planning to play with you are only planning to play with perfect Works build only perfect Works perfect Works build only perfect Works perfect Works build only perfect Works build then you have the option to play build then you have the option to play build then you have the option to play on the Retro Arch emulator with on the Retro Arch emulator with on the Retro Arch emulator with whichever core you want and duck station whichever core you want and duck station whichever core you want and duck station you can play with those two core or you can play with those two core or you can play with those two core or those two emulator options um those two emulator options um those two emulator options um um I I think this might work on um I I think this might work on um I I think this might work on Playstation veto or um PS3 I'm not Playstation veto or um PS3 I'm not Playstation veto or um PS3 I'm not entirely sure don't quote me on that I entirely sure don't quote me on that I entirely sure don't quote me on that I just know that it works 100% on Duck just know that it works 100% on Duck just know that it works 100% on Duck station and retro Arch and depending on station and retro Arch and depending on station and retro Arch and depending on whichever core you use on retro Arch you whichever core you use on retro Arch you whichever core you use on retro Arch you can play it that way when it comes to can play it that way when it comes to can play it that way when it comes to the texture Replacements which I'm about the texture Replacements which I'm about the texture Replacements which I'm about to get into right now that will only to get into right now that will only to get into right now that will only work on retro art and it will only work

work on retro art and it will only work work on retro art and it will only work with the specific core called uh with the specific core called uh with the specific core called uh retro Arch retro Arch retro Arch Beetle PSX HW and we'll get into that Beetle PSX HW and we'll get into that Beetle PSX HW and we'll get into that shortly in just a bit and I'll show you shortly in just a bit and I'll show you shortly in just a bit and I'll show you all the kind of um uh changes and the all the kind of um uh changes and the all the kind of um uh changes and the updates and all the um settings that I updates and all the um settings that I updates and all the um settings that I put into all that so anyways let's now put into all that so anyways let's now put into all that so anyways let's now so perfect works is finished um if so perfect works is finished um if so perfect works is finished um if that's all you needed then you're good that's all you needed then you're good that's all you needed then you're good to go let's talk about the texture to go let's talk about the texture to go let's talk about the texture Replacements right now Replacements right now Replacements right now so all the way back last year before I so all the way back last year before I so all the way back last year before I even like started playing Xeno gears I even like started playing Xeno gears I even like started playing Xeno gears I found this website of vrock hd.cc mods and texture replacements for hd.cc mods and texture replacements for um a lot of games and particularly for um a lot of games and particularly for um a lot of games and particularly for Xeno hers so so I'll show you some Xeno hers so so I'll show you some Xeno hers so so I'll show you some before and after so some of these maps before and after so some of these maps before and after so some of these maps in these dungeons are very hard to read in these dungeons are very hard to read in these dungeons are very hard to read and decipher they just look a lot better and decipher they just look a lot better and decipher they just look a lot better in here like this is Satan's house in in here like this is Satan's house in in here like this is Satan's house in like original retro Arch Beetle HW and like original retro Arch Beetle HW and like original retro Arch Beetle HW and this is the texture Replacements version this is the texture Replacements version this is the texture Replacements version which looks quite a bit better if you which looks quite a bit better if you which looks quite a bit better if you can see like some of the textures of the can see like some of the textures of the can see like some of the textures of the house just look a lot house just look a lot house just look a lot nicer um there are portrait

nicer um there are portrait nicer um there are portrait readjustments in this mod but but I'm readjustments in this mod but but I'm readjustments in this mod but but I'm going to be honest I much prefer the going to be honest I much prefer the going to be honest I much prefer the portraits that I'm going to show you a portraits that I'm going to show you a portraits that I'm going to show you a little later because it just it just little later because it just it just little later because it just it just shows too much of the character and shows too much of the character and shows too much of the character and there are some portraits that are just there are some portraits that are just there are some portraits that are just not as good in my opinion I'll talk not as good in my opinion I'll talk not as good in my opinion I'll talk about that some other time maybe but about that some other time maybe but about that some other time maybe but yeah as you can see yeah as you can see yeah as you can see here can see their shoulders entirely up here can see their shoulders entirely up here can see their shoulders entirely up to you if you want to use these to you if you want to use these to you if you want to use these portraits or the others you can see just portraits or the others you can see just portraits or the others you can see just some of the texturing and the some of the texturing and the some of the texturing and the um like the graphics and some of the um like the graphics and some of the um like the graphics and some of the textures just look a little bit better textures just look a little bit better textures just look a little bit better this is the desert city of Dazzle as you this is the desert city of Dazzle as you this is the desert city of Dazzle as you can see like the ethos logo just looks a can see like the ethos logo just looks a can see like the ethos logo just looks a little crisper this Dome looks a little little crisper this Dome looks a little little crisper this Dome looks a little crisper this um little valve faucet here crisper this um little valve faucet here crisper this um little valve faucet here whatever looks a little crisper also the whatever looks a little crisper also the whatever looks a little crisper also the compass um UI has changed as well so uh compass um UI has changed as well so uh compass um UI has changed as well so uh what I will say about this is this what I will say about this is this what I will say about this is this entire uh thing as you can see over here entire uh thing as you can see over here entire uh thing as you can see over here let's go down here let's go down here let's go down here um this is now I think under a pay wall um this is now I think under a pay wall um this is now I think under a pay wall so I actually purchased this last year so I actually purchased this last year so I actually purchased this last year when it was just free for download on when it was just free for download on when it was just free for download on this website but now it is under a pay this website but now it is under a pay this website but now it is under a pay wall and this this has a lot of textur

wall and this this has a lot of textur wall and this this has a lot of textur over 95,000 textures so if you want to over 95,000 textures so if you want to over 95,000 textures so if you want to show this guy some support you can by show this guy some support you can by show this guy some support you can by um uh buying this but since it's under a um uh buying this but since it's under a um uh buying this but since it's under a pay wall if you guys don't feel pay wall if you guys don't feel pay wall if you guys don't feel comfortable doing that that's entirely comfortable doing that that's entirely comfortable doing that that's entirely up to you um I will show you up to you um I will show you up to you um I will show you specifically how to um configure this specifically how to um configure this specifically how to um configure this but I want to get more into the perfect but I want to get more into the perfect but I want to get more into the perfect Arts artworks later so I'm just going to Arts artworks later so I'm just going to Arts artworks later so I'm just going to assume hypothetically you will download assume hypothetically you will download assume hypothetically you will download this and even if you don't the steps this and even if you don't the steps this and even if you don't the steps will still be the same when it comes to will still be the same when it comes to will still be the same when it comes to the perfect art artworks the perfect art artworks the perfect art artworks um uh retroarch texture pack so um this um uh retroarch texture pack so um this um uh retroarch texture pack so um this guy talks about how to do it over here guy talks about how to do it over here guy talks about how to do it over here you just basically once you download you just basically once you download you just basically once you download your main texture placements folder you your main texture placements folder you your main texture placements folder you have to have it be the same name as your have to have it be the same name as your have to have it be the same name as your ROM ROM ROM but Dash texture Dash Replacements the but Dash texture Dash Replacements the but Dash texture Dash Replacements the name in convention is very important and name in convention is very important and name in convention is very important and it is very crucial to how it it works in it is very crucial to how it it works in it is very crucial to how it it works in um retro Arch because as you might see um retro Arch because as you might see um retro Arch because as you might see over here yeah look at this when you over here yeah look at this when you over here yeah look at this when you click this setting replace textures click this setting replace textures click this setting replace textures it'll say replace textures using HD it'll say replace textures using HD it'll say replace textures using HD versions from the CD directory Das versions from the CD directory Das versions from the CD directory Das texture Das Replacements so it'll find texture Das Replacements so it'll find texture Das Replacements so it'll find that specific spe ific folder where all

that specific spe ific folder where all that specific spe ific folder where all your texture Replacements are and your texture Replacements are and your texture Replacements are and replace everything for you with that replace everything for you with that replace everything for you with that specifically these are my two texture specifically these are my two texture specifically these are my two texture Replacements folders that I used so Replacements folders that I used so Replacements folders that I used so remember how your um patch version with remember how your um patch version with remember how your um patch version with perfect Works build is going to be perfect Works build is going to be perfect Works build is going to be Xenogears pwor cd1 or cd2 whatever right Xenogears pwor cd1 or cd2 whatever right Xenogears pwor cd1 or cd2 whatever right even if your ROM is called even if your ROM is called even if your ROM is called like I don't know what what would it be like I don't know what what would it be like I don't know what what would it be called um even if it's called xeno's Uh called um even if it's called xeno's Uh called um even if it's called xeno's Uh parentheses USA parentheses dis one it parentheses USA parentheses dis one it parentheses USA parentheses dis one it would have to be called Xenogears USA would have to be called Xenogears USA would have to be called Xenogears USA dis one Xeno gears USA dis one- texture dis one Xeno gears USA dis one- texture dis one Xeno gears USA dis one- texture Dash Replacements everything is in here Dash Replacements everything is in here Dash Replacements everything is in here everything is in here so yeah you you everything is in here so yeah you you everything is in here so yeah you you have to make sure that it matches the have to make sure that it matches the have to make sure that it matches the name of your ROM specifically and name of your ROM specifically and name of your ROM specifically and precisely so it see that as you're precisely so it see that as you're precisely so it see that as you're playing in retroarch it will see that playing in retroarch it will see that playing in retroarch it will see that this ROM that you have loaded with this this ROM that you have loaded with this this ROM that you have loaded with this with this Q file has the same name as with this Q file has the same name as with this Q file has the same name as this folder so we're going to use this this folder so we're going to use this this folder so we're going to use this folder to replace all the textures in folder to replace all the textures in folder to replace all the textures in this game but if you're using perfect this game but if you're using perfect this game but if you're using perfect Works build um as I showed you earlier Works build um as I showed you earlier Works build um as I showed you earlier it would this would be how you name your it would this would be how you name your it would this would be how you name your texture replacement folders so let's texture replacement folders so let's texture replacement folders so let's finally finally finally talk about this

finally finally finally talk about this finally finally finally talk about this Xeno Gear's perfect artworks Xeno Gear's perfect artworks Xeno Gear's perfect artworks 1.5 so this is really cool this is by 1.5 so this is really cool this is by 1.5 so this is really cool this is by the user uh Lin Lyn I don't even I don't the user uh Lin Lyn I don't even I don't the user uh Lin Lyn I don't even I don't I don't know if I'm pronouncing that I don't know if I'm pronouncing that I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly but I think she just goes by correctly but I think she just goes by correctly but I think she just goes by Lynn I'll have her uh Twitter and this Lynn I'll have her uh Twitter and this Lynn I'll have her uh Twitter and this is her is her is her god.net her um the link with all the uh god.net her um the link with all the uh god.net her um the link with all the uh portraits and everything I'll have that portraits and everything I'll have that portraits and everything I'll have that all Linked In the description below uh all Linked In the description below uh all Linked In the description below uh show her some support this is really show her some support this is really show her some support this is really awesome work that she's done so awesome work that she's done so awesome work that she's done so basically this mod replaces every single basically this mod replaces every single basically this mod replaces every single character dialogue portrait menu character dialogue portrait menu character dialogue portrait menu portrait and every single battle portrait and every single battle portrait and every single battle portrait with the artwork equivalents portrait with the artwork equivalents portrait with the artwork equivalents and not only that but this does some UI and not only that but this does some UI and not only that but this does some UI uh adjustments as well like um the menu uh adjustments as well like um the menu uh adjustments as well like um the menu options and even some of the UI in the options and even some of the UI in the options and even some of the UI in the gear battle so it it goes really above gear battle so it it goes really above gear battle so it it goes really above and Beyond and just makes the game look and Beyond and just makes the game look and Beyond and just makes the game look a lot nicer and crisper like I give you a lot nicer and crisper like I give you a lot nicer and crisper like I give you guys a little bit of a preview in the guys a little bit of a preview in the guys a little bit of a preview in the beginning of how some of the um beginning of how some of the um beginning of how some of the um character portraits look like yeah character portraits look like yeah character portraits look like yeah that's how good it looks I also I also that's how good it looks I also I also that's how good it looks I also I also didn't do it in 4x3 I can I can didn't do it in 4x3 I can I can didn't do it in 4x3 I can I can re-record it in 4x3 because um that's re-record it in 4x3 because um that's re-record it in 4x3 because um that's what she says that the uh portraits look what she says that the uh portraits look what she says that the uh portraits look the best in that aspect ratio so anyways the best in that aspect ratio so anyways the best in that aspect ratio so anyways what you're going to do is you're going what you're going to do is you're going what you're going to do is you're going to download this and and she gives very to download this and and she gives very to download this and and she gives very detailed um instructions over here so

detailed um instructions over here so detailed um instructions over here so let's go so she gives very detailed let's go so she gives very detailed let's go so she gives very detailed instructions over here in these text instructions over here in these text instructions over here in these text documents you can read those but it's documents you can read those but it's documents you can read those but it's basically uh giving you some basically uh giving you some basically uh giving you some instructions on the best settings to instructions on the best settings to instructions on the best settings to have and where you're supposed to put have and where you're supposed to put have and where you're supposed to put everything so over here this already has everything so over here this already has everything so over here this already has the texture Das replacement stuff over the texture Das replacement stuff over the texture Das replacement stuff over here so basically within this bracketed here so basically within this bracketed here so basically within this bracketed parenthesis you would copy paste the parenthesis you would copy paste the parenthesis you would copy paste the name of your umq file or your um ROM and name of your umq file or your um ROM and name of your umq file or your um ROM and within here we are going to have all the within here we are going to have all the within here we are going to have all the HD portraits I'm going to open it up but HD portraits I'm going to open it up but HD portraits I'm going to open it up but I'm going to blur it because there's I'm going to blur it because there's I'm going to blur it because there's some spoiler portraits in here so yeah some spoiler portraits in here so yeah some spoiler portraits in here so yeah um everything here looks really really um everything here looks really really um everything here looks really really good and one other thing that is in here good and one other thing that is in here good and one other thing that is in here and and and I think I moved it somewhere else but um I think I moved it somewhere else but um I think I moved it somewhere else but um there are also some alt portraits so if there are also some alt portraits so if there are also some alt portraits so if you want to do like a replay of the game you want to do like a replay of the game you want to do like a replay of the game and you want some like different and you want some like different and you want some like different portraits with characters with different portraits with characters with different portraits with characters with different hairstyles or different hair colors or hairstyles or different hair colors or hairstyles or different hair colors or different clothing or I haven't really different clothing or I haven't really different clothing or I haven't really looked at them but if you want to do looked at them but if you want to do looked at them but if you want to do that and just kind of spice up your um that and just kind of spice up your um that and just kind of spice up your um Xeno gears replay that's a one way to do Xeno gears replay that's a one way to do Xeno gears replay that's a one way to do that so what I did since I downloaded that so what I did since I downloaded that so what I did since I downloaded these since I had all of these these since I had all of these these since I had all of these downloaded from last year basically what downloaded from last year basically what downloaded from last year basically what I did is I

I did is I I did is I took everything in here I took all these took everything in here I took all these took everything in here I took all these I just did contrl I just did contrl I just did contrl a and I just dumped it into my folder so a and I just dumped it into my folder so a and I just dumped it into my folder so I'll go I'll go I'll go back and just a reminder you're going to back and just a reminder you're going to back and just a reminder you're going to have to do this for dis one and dis 2 have to do this for dis one and dis 2 have to do this for dis one and dis 2 you'll have to have two separate folders you'll have to have two separate folders you'll have to have two separate folders basically once you finish this one just basically once you finish this one just basically once you finish this one just copy your folder duplicate it rename it copy your folder duplicate it rename it copy your folder duplicate it rename it to this to this to this 2 2 2 so I just went in here did contrl so I just went in here did contrl so I just went in here did contrl a moved all a moved all a moved all 139 files into here and it's going to 139 files into here and it's going to 139 files into here and it's going to like say uh destination is yeah do you like say uh destination is yeah do you like say uh destination is yeah do you want to skip these replace these you're want to skip these replace these you're want to skip these replace these you're going to want to replace them if you going to want to replace them if you going to want to replace them if you want um the perfect want um the perfect want um the perfect artworks um portraits instead of of um artworks um portraits instead of of um artworks um portraits instead of of um these portraits which these portraits which these portraits which show like characters with show like characters with show like characters with like more of like their shoulders and like more of like their shoulders and like more of like their shoulders and chest so that is my ideal way to play chest so that is my ideal way to play chest so that is my ideal way to play this game using these texture this game using these texture this game using these texture Replacements but um adding in the Replacements but um adding in the Replacements but um adding in the cleaned up um portraits done by Lynn cleaned up um portraits done by Lynn cleaned up um portraits done by Lynn over here um one addendum I want to say over here um one addendum I want to say over here um one addendum I want to say is yes uh she says over here note if is yes uh she says over here note if is yes uh she says over here note if you're using perfect Works mod don't

you're using perfect Works mod don't you're using perfect Works mod don't apply the readjusted portraits patch apply the readjusted portraits patch apply the readjusted portraits patch when patching your wrong as that patch when patching your wrong as that patch when patching your wrong as that patch interferes with this mods portrait interferes with this mods portrait interferes with this mods portrait texture replacing so we mentioned that texture replacing so we mentioned that texture replacing so we mentioned that earlier in the video just remember not earlier in the video just remember not earlier in the video just remember not to do that and this is a second addendum to do that and this is a second addendum to do that and this is a second addendum it does not 100% work with it does not 100% work with it does not 100% work with 0.4.6 and you'll have to manually rename 0.4.6 and you'll have to manually rename 0.4.6 and you'll have to manually rename certain files in the replacement folder certain files in the replacement folder certain files in the replacement folder listed here you can go over here and listed here you can go over here and listed here you can go over here and check this out I'll have this Linked In check this out I'll have this Linked In check this out I'll have this Linked In the description you can go in and check the description you can go in and check the description you can go in and check out all that stuff basically what that out all that stuff basically what that out all that stuff basically what that means is in means is in means is in 0.4.6 I noticed this as I was 0.4.6 I noticed this as I was 0.4.6 I noticed this as I was playing um since I like um repatched playing um since I like um repatched playing um since I like um repatched just to um uh take out that uh music just to um uh take out that uh music just to um uh take out that uh music changes thing um even if you don't do changes thing um even if you don't do changes thing um even if you don't do the readjusted portraits uh patch in the readjusted portraits uh patch in the readjusted portraits uh patch in 0.4.6 it is going to that the patching 0.4.6 it is going to that the patching 0.4.6 it is going to that the patching is going to rename certain files and is going to rename certain files and is going to rename certain files and those files are a lot of the portraits those files are a lot of the portraits those files are a lot of the portraits in your game it's going to automatically in your game it's going to automatically in your game it's going to automatically rename a lot of that even if you don't rename a lot of that even if you don't rename a lot of that even if you don't uh check the registered portraits so uh check the registered portraits so uh check the registered portraits so what you will have to do is if you're what you will have to do is if you're what you will have to do is if you're using 0.4.6 you will have to go in and using 0.4.6 you will have to go in and using 0.4.6 you will have to go in and rename a lot of um the port in the rename a lot of um the port in the rename a lot of um the port in the texture replacement folder and that's texture replacement folder and that's texture replacement folder and that's not a whole lot of work it's just some

not a whole lot of work it's just some not a whole lot of work it's just some easy copying and pasting she's got a lot easy copying and pasting she's got a lot easy copying and pasting she's got a lot of The Replacements over here so you can of The Replacements over here so you can of The Replacements over here so you can check that out yourself and that's check that out yourself and that's check that out yourself and that's that's the only one uh small thing that's the only one uh small thing that's the only one uh small thing you'll have to watch out for I don't you'll have to watch out for I don't you'll have to watch out for I don't know if that's the same on know if that's the same on know if that's the same on 0.4.7 but it is something uh that you 0.4.7 but it is something uh that you 0.4.7 but it is something uh that you will have to do if you're using will have to do if you're using will have to do if you're using 0.4.6 specifically I haven't tested out 0.4.6 specifically I haven't tested out 0.4.6 specifically I haven't tested out with 0.4.7 with 0.4.7 with 0.4.7 but I know that is the case with six and but I know that is the case with six and but I know that is the case with six and you'll know if you need to do this very you'll know if you need to do this very you'll know if you need to do this very early on in the game because some early early on in the game because some early early on in the game because some early characters of portraits I think Timothy characters of portraits I think Timothy characters of portraits I think Timothy Alice and maybe even Dan you you will Alice and maybe even Dan you you will Alice and maybe even Dan you you will notice that their portraits aren't um as notice that their portraits aren't um as notice that their portraits aren't um as Crisp And as Crisp And as Crisp And as HD um and if that is the case if they if HD um and if that is the case if they if HD um and if that is the case if they if you see some portraits aren't as HD as you see some portraits aren't as HD as you see some portraits aren't as HD as others or are just not replac placed others or are just not replac placed others or are just not replac placed then you might have to go in and rename then you might have to go in and rename then you might have to go in and rename certain files yourself so I think the certain files yourself so I think the certain files yourself so I think the final thing I want to show you guys is final thing I want to show you guys is final thing I want to show you guys is the settings that I used so first of all the settings that I used so first of all the settings that I used so first of all I want to let you guys know what I am I want to let you guys know what I am I want to let you guys know what I am using to run this game I'm using my PC using to run this game I'm using my PC using to run this game I'm using my PC with a ryzen 7 5800 X um my GPU is a RTX with a ryzen 7 5800 X um my GPU is a RTX with a ryzen 7 5800 X um my GPU is a RTX 360 TI 32 gigs of RAM and that's like

think all of these need to be set think all of these need to be set exactly how you see over here so make exactly how you see over here so make exactly how you see over here so make sure you have that video this is where sure you have that video this is where sure you have that video this is where everything is very important so um if everything is very important so um if everything is very important so um if you're having frame drops if you're you're having frame drops if you're you're having frame drops if you're having frame issues if you're having having frame issues if you're having having frame issues if you're having stuttering consider lowering the stuttering consider lowering the stuttering consider lowering the resolution uh I don't think if you put resolution uh I don't think if you put resolution uh I don't think if you put it down to um one I don't think you will it down to um one I don't think you will it down to um one I don't think you will get a lot of the benefit of the texture get a lot of the benefit of the texture get a lot of the benefit of the texture Replacements dithering pattern I put off Replacements dithering pattern I put off Replacements dithering pattern I put off UV offset I put off um texture filtering UV offset I put off um texture filtering UV offset I put off um texture filtering I put at Bolin here um these two are I put at Bolin here um these two are I put at Bolin here um these two are very important these two exclude Sprites very important these two exclude Sprites very important these two exclude Sprites from filtering exclude 2d polygons from from filtering exclude 2d polygons from from filtering exclude 2d polygons from filtering I put them at opaque and filtering I put them at opaque and filtering I put them at opaque and semi-transparent those are important I semi-transparent those are important I semi-transparent those are important I remember those are very important remember those are very important remember those are very important settings these I kept it off uh settings these I kept it off uh settings these I kept it off uh anti-aliasing I kept a one because of anti-aliasing I kept a one because of anti-aliasing I kept a one because of like performance stuff okay very very like performance stuff okay very very like performance stuff okay very very important track textures on dump important track textures on dump important track textures on dump textures off replace textures on so if textures off replace textures on so if textures off replace textures on so if you want any of the benefit of that you want any of the benefit of that you want any of the benefit of that giant texture replacement folder that giant texture replacement folder that giant texture replacement folder that you have potentially downloaded from you have potentially downloaded from you have potentially downloaded from that one website and you've moved all that one website and you've moved all that one website and you've moved all the portraits and UI um elements all the the portraits and UI um elements all the the portraits and UI um elements all the way into that texture placement folder way into that texture placement folder way into that texture placement folder if you want any of the benefit at all if you want any of the benefit at all if you want any of the benefit at all remember to have this on otherwise remember to have this on otherwise remember to have this on otherwise you're not going to see any difference

you're not going to see any difference you're not going to see any difference of anything yeah software frame buffer of anything yeah software frame buffer of anything yeah software frame buffer on I don't think these are on I don't think these are on I don't think these are important uh Dynamic default yeah oh important uh Dynamic default yeah oh important uh Dynamic default yeah oh times one corrected um I think a lot of times one corrected um I think a lot of times one corrected um I think a lot of these are default just make sure you these are default just make sure you these are default just make sure you look over that uh read me text document look over that uh read me text document look over that uh read me text document to make sure all of these are exactly to make sure all of these are exactly to make sure all of these are exactly how you would want them a lot of these how you would want them a lot of these how you would want them a lot of these don't really need to be changed if don't really need to be changed if don't really need to be changed if you're having performance issues a lot you're having performance issues a lot you're having performance issues a lot of the benefits are going to come from of the benefits are going to come from of the benefits are going to come from lowering the internal resolution and lowering the internal resolution and lowering the internal resolution and maybe playing around with maybe playing around with maybe playing around with anti-aliasing and maybe even going over anti-aliasing and maybe even going over anti-aliasing and maybe even going over here and overclo your CPU if you need here and overclo your CPU if you need here and overclo your CPU if you need that um one thing to note is a lot of that um one thing to note is a lot of that um one thing to note is a lot of these menu options are not going going these menu options are not going going these menu options are not going going to be available right when you open up to be available right when you open up to be available right when you open up the game and open up retro Arch so I the game and open up retro Arch so I the game and open up retro Arch so I think um I I don't remember how I did think um I I don't remember how I did think um I I don't remember how I did this but you're going to open up the this but you're going to open up the this but you're going to open up the game um open up the menu um Tinker game um open up the menu um Tinker game um open up the menu um Tinker around with some settings and then what around with some settings and then what around with some settings and then what you will have to do is I think one of you will have to do is I think one of you will have to do is I think one of these yeah you're going to have to these yeah you're going to have to these yeah you're going to have to change the hardware to Vulcan and then change the hardware to Vulcan and then change the hardware to Vulcan and then you're going to want to go in here I you're going to want to go in here I you're going to want to go in here I think thing and um restart retro Arch think thing and um restart retro Arch think thing and um restart retro Arch yeah restart retro Arch application and yeah restart retro Arch application and yeah restart retro Arch application and once you do that once you do that once you do that then um a lot of like these two

then um a lot of like these two then um a lot of like these two important options will be visible and important options will be visible and important options will be visible and then um these three important options then um these three important options then um these three important options will be visible once it notices that you will be visible once it notices that you will be visible once it notices that you have a texture replacement folder where have a texture replacement folder where have a texture replacement folder where your ROMs are and that texture your ROMs are and that texture your ROMs are and that texture replacement folder needs to be in the replacement folder needs to be in the replacement folder needs to be in the same directory as your disc one and dis same directory as your disc one and dis same directory as your disc one and dis 2 ROMs when you load in your Q file here 2 ROMs when you load in your Q file here 2 ROMs when you load in your Q file here on on on retroarch so yeah let me know what you retroarch so yeah let me know what you retroarch so yeah let me know what you think about all this in the description think about all this in the description think about all this in the description below and yeah um whenever you guys get below and yeah um whenever you guys get below and yeah um whenever you guys get around to playing this version of the around to playing this version of the around to playing this version of the game if you choose all of the options game if you choose all of the options game if you choose all of the options below or none of them or just a few let below or none of them or just a few let below or none of them or just a few let me know in the comments how successful me know in the comments how successful me know in the comments how successful or unsuccessful this was if you have any or unsuccessful this was if you have any or unsuccessful this was if you have any questions if you're um encountering any questions if you're um encountering any questions if you're um encountering any uh problems or anything just let me know uh problems or anything just let me know uh problems or anything just let me know I'll try to help as best as I can um in I'll try to help as best as I can um in I'll try to help as best as I can um in terms of emulation a lot of it is just terms of emulation a lot of it is just terms of emulation a lot of it is just trial and error so you got to see what trial and error so you got to see what trial and error so you got to see what works and what doesn't and often times works and what doesn't and often times works and what doesn't and often times it's very annoying to figure a lot of it's very annoying to figure a lot of it's very annoying to figure a lot of that stuff out and I um I'll I'll try to that stuff out and I um I'll I'll try to that stuff out and I um I'll I'll try to respond to his people as I can but yeah respond to his people as I can but yeah respond to his people as I can but yeah anyways I hope you guys have fun I hope anyways I hope you guys have fun I hope anyways I hope you guys have fun I hope you guys enjoy Xeno gears I hope you you guys enjoy Xeno gears I hope you you guys enjoy Xeno gears I hope you guys get a chance to play Xeno gears in guys get a chance to play Xeno gears in guys get a chance to play Xeno gears in this way um perfect Works build is a

this way um perfect Works build is a this way um perfect Works build is a very very very very amazing achievement very very very very amazing achievement very very very very amazing achievement and I'm really happy with the team and and I'm really happy with the team and and I'm really happy with the team and the effort that they put in and overall the effort that they put in and overall the effort that they put in and overall it was a fantastic experience it almost it was a fantastic experience it almost it was a fantastic experience it almost felt like I was playing a Xeno felt like I was playing a Xeno felt like I was playing a Xeno remaster with a lot of these like UI remaster with a lot of these like UI remaster with a lot of these like UI changes and all these portraits having changes and all these portraits having changes and all these portraits having been having been enhanced and the been having been enhanced and the been having been enhanced and the quality of life improvements and the quality of life improvements and the quality of life improvements and the rebalancing and the texture Replacements rebalancing and the texture Replacements rebalancing and the texture Replacements it felt like a modern experience to me it felt like a modern experience to me it felt like a modern experience to me and it was a really fun game it really and it was a really fun game it really and it was a really fun game it really enhanced my experience and like I said enhanced my experience and like I said enhanced my experience and like I said before you don't need to play with any before you don't need to play with any before you don't need to play with any of this you don't need to play with all of this you don't need to play with all of this you don't need to play with all of these you can kind of choose your of these you can kind of choose your of these you can kind of choose your options because even the texture options because even the texture options because even the texture Replacements I got it before the pay Replacements I got it before the pay Replacements I got it before the pay wall was put up if you don't feel wall was put up if you don't feel wall was put up if you don't feel comfortable um uh paying for it or comfortable um uh paying for it or comfortable um uh paying for it or anything you don't have to do that anything you don't have to do that anything you don't have to do that playing with just perfect Works build playing with just perfect Works build playing with just perfect Works build and the perfect artworks Port portrait and the perfect artworks Port portrait and the perfect artworks Port portrait readjustments is going to look and feel readjustments is going to look and feel readjustments is going to look and feel fantastic and it's going to be amazing fantastic and it's going to be amazing fantastic and it's going to be amazing or if you just want to do perfect Works or if you just want to do perfect Works or if you just want to do perfect Works build that's fine and you can even play build that's fine and you can even play build that's fine and you can even play on Duck station if you do that or if you on Duck station if you do that or if you on Duck station if you do that or if you just want to do the perfect artworks just want to do the perfect artworks just want to do the perfect artworks Port Replacements you can play that here Port Replacements you can play that here Port Replacements you can play that here on on retro arch with Beetle HW and yeah on on retro arch with Beetle HW and yeah on on retro arch with Beetle HW and yeah all the links to all of these will be in all the links to all of these will be in all the links to all of these will be in the descriptions below um that's going the descriptions below um that's going the descriptions below um that's going to be um let's go back over here it's to be um let's go back over here it's to be um let's go back over here it's going to be Lynn's um Twitter and her going to be Lynn's um Twitter and her going to be Lynn's um Twitter and her God where um her work is and you can
