Modifications
HD mod
- Download link
- The mod includes neural network upscaled backgrounds and sprites, as well as a redrawn user interface.
- This mod uses ResidualVM framework to load new assets. The development of ResidualVM has been stopped, and the project's functionality is now part of ScummVM.[11] ResidualVM remains a working solution, but if any bugs occur when running the mod (e.g. incorrect word wrapping in menus with "..." replacing parts of labels), switch to ScummVM instead.
HD characters mod
- HD characters mod Download link
- This mod upscales most characters (the previously bugged Emma upscaled texture in the pack works correctly as from ScummVM v2.8.0 and above) and removes the mipmapping, creating a more crisp experience. It is meant to be played alongside the HD mod above.
