i didn't upscale the Water textures for now, because it would have been a 30Gbyte + file afterwards lol.
hope this texture pack makes you all very happy! and meets expectations! will update overtime. 

if anything is used from this pack, please credit all the creators.

Dude I've just registered for this to say it's awesome! Idk why noone replied.

I've tested, it eats up my ram, how much it needs? It turs itself off after it reached my ram's end.

Also some environement maps looks too smooth, especially the ground/grass, lost its detail, you should look into that. And the charge up bars is still has edges.

I appreciate the feedback bro!, and good on you joining Dolphin forums its a pretty cool place.  unfortunately im not an artist so there is only so much im capable of fixing up, "sigh" im trying to find a texture artist to help me refine all these texture packs and improve them, im working hard on it. so far though i have asked many times in many places, forums discords etc and have either been turned down or outright ignored. its been very disheartening. and unfortunately as much as id love to give you all the Quintessential Texture pack for this Awesome game! my talents are very limited. so my apologies, until i figure something out youl just have to make do with what you have, until im able to find more experienced people to assist me with these texture packs. im incapable of doing more. sorry man.

Yeah I dont have digital artist friends either, well actually... my GF is a draw/painter but im not sure she can handle digital art, im pretty sure she never did texture, I'll ask her, I'll get back to you in a couple of weeks.
Btw if you are willing to put money into it try fiverr.com im sure you can find artists there or at least ask for offers. (after doing a catalouge of what texture needs touch up, cause not all)

I appreciate the fact your considering helping, by all means ask your GF. however, im unsure about fiver.com when hiring, because this is more a case of someone that has thorough understanding how dolphins dumped textures work, knows their limitations and whats practical when making refinements to textures. thats why im asking this forum or anyone affiliated with the forums, Discord etc for help, was hoping to get someone with experience that has worked on either Mario kart Wii HD, F-Zero GX HD, Smash bros Melee, Brawl Stages or any other HD Anime like texture packs. need someone who has modified Skies and improved Sprites, Stage Textures overall to their betterment. Have asked so many people, in so many places even asked for help from Nerrel MM-N64 HD and 'Hypatia' creator of the awesome Wind Waker HD Texture pack. Their approach seems the most practical and efficient and they seem to understand the aesthetics. despite my efforts to contact them and request Their help it was to no avail. i guess what im really needing is a texture artist that understands how to effectively circumvent complex problems that may arise from their own experiences. i need their knowledge and their guidance what was gained from working on various HD Texture projects on their own or with a team. and i need someone with a stronger understanding than myself which art style suits each aesthetic for each DBZ project im upscaling. imagine someone that has worked on Texture packs for the Legend of Zelda, Mario Galaxy or Muramasa: The Demon Blade etc, they would know how to refine these DBZ Sprites or Textures correctly, and it wouldn't be a case of me telling them what i want but instead them telling me what needs to happen. I've only just started learning to upscale textures with Real-ESRGAN the last few months since last year in fact, so my knowledge and experience is lacking at best. hope this gives some insight on what i'm hoping to achieve over all. and i really do hope i eventually can convince someone more experienced than myself to help me.

why you didn't decided to compress png textures to bc7 dds?

My Teacher advised against it, said it wouldn't make a difference under the circumstance. discovered he was right and and managed to get it running perfect with his recommended settings

so i left it .PNG with Prefetch Custom Textures switched off. i dont think people need these settings on all the time.

Uhh... I would recommend creating a DDS pack actually... But it's your choice. Prefetching with PNG isn't ideal since it comes at a much steeper cost for RAM than DDS does. It's also slower.

fair enough atm my googledrive account is full though, once i figure out a better alternative for file hosting preferably free and more space than 15 Gbyte then yes i can certainly do that for you all. wasn't aware that is mattered though, thankyou for the advice.
