2. You're welcome, I wish I had better news or a backup of his pack somewhere
3. Exactly right! That's probably the way I would play it tbh

Hey I am currently having an issue with my Skyward Sword game and I would like to know if there is any way to fix it. I am using the Skyward Sword 4k Texture Pack and everything works perfectly, but I cannot seem to disable the background blur in my game. I have tried virtually EVERYTHING, including Gecko codes, the DOF hack and many other things but I still have not managed to find a way to fix this issue. Any advice you can give would be very helpful.

Thank you for your time

As sad as I am that our retexture project is overshadowed a bit by these crazy upscaling projects I am happy to support anyone in the community doing a good job

The link from joshua is not working, anyone has the backup?

That henrikomagnifico is great but we must convert dds file to png, there are about 20k file dds need to convert

Also the Pre-2020 combined texture pack (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzGiIBgiJzl3NDBYNjItTURWZDA/view?usp=sharing) isn't exactly bad
Feel free to try those out

The first message quoted in this reply should answer your question

Anyone with a backup of J0shua's stuff please let us know because they have vanished

The pre-2020 combined texture pack is listed under the same name in https://skyward-sword-remastered.tumblr.com/download and like I said earlier it isn't exactly bad

Who are you and why are you a God?
Also would it be all cool if I put this this link as the main download link now?

So I was fiddling around with the game's downloadable cheats, and one of them caught my attention:

Bloom effect corruption
285FCB94 00002000
04576810 3F000000
E0000000 80008000
285FCB94 00001000
04576810 00000000
E0000000 80008000
285FCB94 00000800
04576810 3F800000
E0000000 80008000

I noticed that when you change the second line from
04576810 3F000000
To
04576810 00000000

All the game's post processing effects disappear (DOF + that horrible bloom effect that cause ghosting in some areas, more noticeable at night), but it also makes a huge black rectangle to appear close to the center of the screen. Can someone with more knowledge in these cheats try to make a fully working cheat without the side-effects out of these? (art style modifier only disables DOF, the ugly bloom effect still stays there)
