Just as an example, this is futaken valley upscaled to 1600x900 using amd fsr on a steam deck.

Edit3: Deleted the image, this was upscaled from a very low resolution. Will post a better comparison for fsr later.

Not sure if my previous comment was seen.


I'll see if I can get method b) to work by extracting and repacking the asset files, though that's a bit of a hassle.


Edit: waifu2x-caffe is running via cpu on the textures atm, will take a while to see results b/c I chose cpu encoding and don't have an nvidia gpu atm.

I'll also post some screenshots using different sharpness settings for fsr, but I'm not sure there's much difference.

The goal here is mainly to check if it's feasible to do with minimal effort. The previous  responses indicate that Mofu thinks he has to load images at their original resolution, or that upscaling or downscaling have significant performance costs.

I don't really care if any of these gets implemented, but I don't like seeing discussions based on incomplete or incorrect information.


If someone really needs to play it on their 4k tv, that person should probably just use fsr and live with the artifacts.

FSR is an upscaling solution that can give better quality and sharpness than naive nearest neighbor. That's the whole point. This doesn't require extracting game files because it is fast enough to operate live and can operate on screenshots.

It is not exclusive to applications where performance needs to be increased, otherwise people would just use nearest neighbor.

I'm saying this as something people who complain about blur should try, because the sharpening filter can help with that a bit.

You're confusing different FSR implementations.

FSR 2.0 is a temporal upscaler that also uses movement information,

FSR 1.0 is a pure spacial upscaler.


Also your initial statement about not being allowed to modify game files is demonstrably false. There's a comment by mofu telling someone to modify the translation.

There's also no legal basis for it.

You probably meant that people are not allowed to distribute modified game files, which a separate issue.

The waifu2x upscale is done btw.

I will not upload it, don't worry.

I haven't bothered to look into repacking, just wanted to demonstrate that it can be done fairly easily.


If someone here wants to see the quality change they can take a screenshot and run that through the waifu2x website; for getting an idea of the quality of the upscale that's good enough.

Thanks a lot for all your useful information! I don't understand FSR but will try to download it and see how it works.

Also I apologize for not noticing your past comments. It's possible to replace the image with a larger one and recreate it, but that would require recreating the entire operation, which is very difficult. So if the program can complement the image nicely, that would be awesome👍
