SSX Tricky HD Texture Pack

Adding all the working time on this project, is the equivalent of working  8 hours, 7 days of the week in one month, or 240 hours while paying rent, electricity, etc ... if you liked my work, a donation is appreciated to keep alive projects like this. This was a project for October, but with the COVID-19 situation, and all the free time, now is completed!

-CONTRIBUTORS-

This people is keeping alive projects like this, thanks!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

1. This pack uses DDS textures with a BC7 Block Compression which means YOU NEED A DIRECT X 11+ CAPABLE GPU. This pack won't work on very old GPU's

2. Make sure you're using a good game dump, NTSC or PAL ... yes, this pack is region free:

a) I'm using this for the NTSC-U (USA) (GSTE69)
MD5 HASH: 47c64f8e60ecd70161b772adb7f25109 (you can google the HASH)

b) I'm using this for the PAL (EU) (GSTP69)
MD5 HASH: 54cabb3c41f91af0134e761a980b7da8 (you can google the HASH)

To verify your game dump integrity, right click on the game in Dolphin, and go to the "Verify" Tab:

3. SUPER IMPORTANT! DON'T USE DOLPHIN 5 THE STABLE VERSION ... Download the latest nightly development version (DON'T USE BETA VERSIONS):

Download: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

4. Download and unzip the "GST" folder ... move to:
(WINDOWS) Documents > Dolphin Emulator > Textures > Load
(LINUX) ~/.local/share/dolphin-emu/Textures/Load

5. In Dolphin, go to "Graphics" > Advanced ... and enable "Load Custom Textures" and "Prefetch Custom Textures" if you have about 5.2 GB of available RAM, if you have less don't worry, no textures will be preloaded on your System RAM. IF YOUR GPU IS NOT DIRECTX 12 CAPABLE LIKE IN THE DEMO BELOW DONT WORRY! Use other backend like direct 3d 11 // OpenGL // Vulkan ... BUT if your GPU is not DirectX 11 capable, the pack won't work. Later, if there is an reasonable quantity of donations, I will release a pack compatible for old GPU's using DDS textures and BC3 Block Compression.

If you have some "Stuttering", go to "Graphics" > Hacks ... and enable "Skip EFB Access from CPU", this will solve some situations with "lights" or Lens Flares ... the same situation is on SSX3

Other thing you can do with FPS drops is "overclocking" the emulated CPU like in this short tutorial

 If you have this error message don't worry, is unknow to this publication date why it happens, just choose: "Ignore for this session" and the game will run without any problems.
