Completed:
- UI, fonts, maps, background, characters and monster textures.
Missing:
- Some background textures (~10%)
Known issues:
- Ymir forest is a little glitchy, the water effect is not 100% compatible with the HD textures in some part. (I am trying to fix this, but not an easy task)
- Some grass, trees, or other transparent textures may be slightly off (the original assets are very compressed and low-res)
- Some background colors are slightly different from the original (a little darker, no big deal)
- Skits flickering: If you enable the Prefetch option in the Dolphin menu, it fixes the flickering (and some other stuttering and glitches), but you need at least 16 GB of RAM (or 24-32 for the 4K backgrounds). Without prefetch, there will be minor glitches (like the flickering skits), but you need much less ram.

Copy-paste-overwrite the dds file into the Flashback folder. Only use it if you want to play the game in widescreen!
The textures are in DXT5/BC7 dds format. It's for the Dolphin's desktop version! May or may not work on android!
