How does it works ?

This patch is a quick and dirty job. It's based on rescaled assets from the Steam port and isn't 1:1 accurate with the SNES original version. If you're looking for a well crafted work go directly for the Chrono Trigger Restoration Project These people are doing an amazing, dedicated work, which takes time. I insist on that, if you're looking for a faithful restoration, this is where you must head.With that said.This patch is a solution to bring back the good old pixelly look of the game. As you must know, Square-Enix decided to apply a blurry filter to all the game sprites. This patch is meant to undo all of this and instead, to give us this:On top of that, this patch has some slight QoL elements, like removing some glitchy buttons that appears in the fair and other places and some slight localizations typos that appear in the menu.Basically, the game has sprites and tilesets. The sprites are the pictures which contains the character data. The game has two set of these: The filtered ones and the original ones. What was done here was to double the size of the original ones to match the resolution of the new ones, without any filter applied to keep the good old pixelart look. Then, transparency was carefully applied to every single sprite sets, to avoid some sprites to be botched.As for the tilesets, this is more complicated... as the original ones aren't included, I basically had to downsize the filtered tilesets to their original size, the resize them to the new size without any filter, to "nullify" the filter applied. Which means this isn't 100% accurate or 1:1 compared to the original assets. Then again if you want a real solution, wait for the Chrono Trigger Restoration Project Here's how it looks compared to the SNES game:Beforehand, you need two elements:CTDefilter, made by Jed Lang/Nyxo, which disables the post processing blurry filter applied on top of the game.CTExplore, made by Jed Lang/Nyxo, which allows to patch the game. To see how it works, just head here:After you downloaded both tools you need to apply this patch with CTExplore:Once it's done, enjoy your game !Also, credits goes to Jed Lang/Nyxo for his amazing tools and shoutout to the Chrono Trigger Restoration Project team, which is preparing a tremendous work.Edit: Link has been fixed ! Thanks to Rhyagelle for bringing the issue to me ! It seems indeed I put the folder up too high >
