Anyone figure out how to fix the crusty music yet?

So I just downloaded and installed the DDS Texture pack. Everything looks incredible!
Only issue I am having is the portraits did not update, they are still the OG portraits. Not sure if I missed documentation somewhere or if they are not in the DDS pack. Installing texture packs is new to me so forgive if I missed a rookie step or something haha. EDIT: To clarify it seems like the HD textures are just missing from the Menu. Portraits are showing in battle but the Menu UI is missing the portraits and general HD clarity. 02-26-2021, 06:16 AM
IIRC, the (big) UI texture needs the option "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" checked. You can find this in the Graphics options under the Hacks tab.
This game stores a snapshot of the screen and many of the UI textures within one big texture. This has the downside that the snapshot causes the hash to change every single time the menu is opened... and with basically unlimited possibilities, it means no HD texture. Storing EFB Copies to RAM is too accurate as it correctly stores this screenshot. With EFB to Texture, the screenshot fails and just ends up as a black screen. This has an advantage for a texture pack: the black screen means the texture never changes, and it can now be replaced with a custom texture. 04-16-2021, 08:45 AM
What's the current methodology for texture production, if I might ask? Are you using AI upscaling, or making new textures from scratch?

99.9% of everything we make is from scratch.
Although I think some of the character portraits for the crew members you acquire later in the game might have been upscaled, then touched up by Bighead. He worked on those, so he would have to answer that. 04-18-2021, 03:08 PM

Hey! Thanks so much for doing this. How much of the texture pack would you say is complete? And is it worth waiting a year or so to play it to wait for it's completion, or do you think it'll take longer than that?
How do I use the resource pack? I copied the zip into the resource pack folder and Dolphin shows it in the menu. Installing it also seems to work fine. But I don't see any changes ingame. Do I need to activate any options? I tried Copy EFB to RAM only already in the game ini and globally.
edit: Activating "Load Custom Textures" in "Graphics -> Advanced" did the trick... 08-02-2021, 05:46 AM
Looking forward to the day this is finished (even if it ends up taking 10 years kek )
