** How to install: **
Drag and drop the "replacements" folder into your PCSX2's directory: PCSX2/textures/[GAME-ID]/replacements
(If the folders are not there, simply create them manually, or enable texture dumping for a brief moment while the game is running, and PCSX2 will generate that folder(s) for you.
This is only compatible with the latest nightly builds of PCSX2. Please update your emulator.
** Features: **
1. HD HUD and UI textures:
All menus, text, and the in-race HUD have been redone in much higher resolution. These textures have greatly improved the game's overall look when playing in HD on PCSX2. My goal with this texture pack was to give the game a 'remastered' look and I think it succeeds in achieving that. This was accomplished with a combination of fully redrawn/replaced textures from scratch, and ai upscales.
2. 16:9 aspect ratio-corrected UI textures:
All UI textures that were still 4:3 stretched when in 16:9 mode have now been 'squished' horizontally to make them display in their correct aspect ratio when in 16:9 mode. This was done by widening the horizontal canvas size of the textures by 33%, rather than simply squishing the actual visual data of the texture, as to not reduce the horizontal resolution.
3. Typo Corrections:
Due to some text being stored as a texture, I was able to correct a couple typos that Polyphony made.
1. GT Auto's "cleand" -- cleaned
2. Main menu's "EUROPIAN STREET" -- EUROPEAN STREET
4. Secret Menu instructions added to the options menu background:
The options menu now has instructions on how to access the secret menu on the right side of the screen.
5. Alternate textures:
Included in this pack are some alternate textures that you can replace if desired:
1. Blanked replay watermark textures:
These allow the viewing of replays without the "REPLAY" and the "Gran Turismo 4" watermark
from ever appearing. This may be preferable to some players that wish to watch/record replays
without the watermarks appearing.
2. Odd numbers in the 10,000 RPM and 12,000 RPM tachometers:
Two Alternate tachometer textures that have the odd numbers included.
6. End-user mods:
With all of the texture work already done and textures organized, end-users can easily modify the existing textures in this pack any way
they want using image editing software. End-users can make the UI/HUD look any way they desire. Alternate colors, designs,
etc. are now possible.
7. Compatible with ALL revisions/versions of Gran Turismo 4:
Tested Versions:
Gran Turismo 4 NTSC-U USA/Canadian release SCUS-97328
Gran Turismo 4 PAL UK/European release SCES-51719
Gran Turismo 4 Online Public Beta NTSC-U USA release SCUS-97436
Gran Turismo 4 NTSC-J Japanese release SCPS-17001
Gran Turismo 4 NTSC-J Korean release SCKA-30001
8. By sheer coincidence, a lot of textures in this pack also apply to Tourist trophy.

The switch between low resolution textures to the high resolution textures really do something to me. I don't know what it is, but for real, I love sharp and crisp textures. In NFSU2 some mods really made the diffrence to really enjoy the game again on modern Displays.

Your efforts here are greatly appreciated and these textures were made very well! One of the best racing games was made even better. I did have a questions though. I managed to get all this set up very easily, but I was wondering if there was any reason NOT to use PCSX2's built in deinterlacing, specifically Bob (Bottom Field First). The picture quality this way is clean and sharp, so it seems to yield the same results as Silent's patch.

Good to see. Hoping PCSX2 isn't as resource heavy as it was like 7 years ago.

Tried this out on the EU version and I ove it great job! One question though, is that Should I switch versions of my GT4? I just wanna play career really. the online version looks cool but not sure how I feel about having all the cars and money at the start

[@logane1102]

You can switch to US version or you can switch to online, and then once you create your save ,you can immediately edit your save file with the GT4 save editor and take out the money and cars so it starts the same as retail versions.

[@lrthumwood]

Using the latest version of QT however, your files have different names to all of mine stored in the original replacements folder. Does this no longer work?

[@TamiyaGuy123]

I think you said it perfectly yourself: This is the missing piece of the puzzle for GT4 emulation. Even without the texture pack, GT4 still looks amazing in a high resolution, and now the UI, which we spend all the time staring at, has the quality to match! The only thing I've noticed is that the lap counter seems to have a very slight opacity in its background, leading to a grey box around the lap number - you can see this at 3:06 in the video. The file in replacements/text files jap kor usa pal shared/4d9e0d...png (numbers with a black outline) seems to be the issue, but the file _without_ the black outline doesn't have this problem so I ended up tweaking that file to look the same, then replacing the texture. Haven't extensively tested it, but I'm happy to send the file over. But I mean... the fact that this is the level of nitpicking to find fault with this mod... fantastic stuff!

[@antoinedrela794]

Very good job on this mod! Just one question: How to remove the "penalty" text in rally events? I use a code to disable the penalty but the text still appear for 1 second and it's annoying. Thank you!

[@TWTFYC]

That's an emulator issue. Setting the EE camping mode to full solves the text remaining on screen, but it will make the game crash when entering a licence test. So switch to normal for licences

For some reason my lap counter, best/last lap, and split times don’t have fully transparent backgrounds, so they are sitting in slightly translucent boxes. Why might that be? I’m using latest nightly with settings per the video. I’m using NTSC version of GT4.
