Today I started work on a theory I had a while back, it came to me a while back when I saw a post with information on the King's Field texture format, and how to convert images found in the PS1 games into standard .TIM format, this is the topic - https://www.swordofmoonlight.com/bbs/ind...19#msg6419
In this thread is a download to documents explaining the differences in file format (not much really)
if the process could be reversed; This, in theory might allow us to re-texture enemies, on the original PS1 version. (Haven't found level textures, they've got to be hiding somewhere though...)
Now I'm not sure if this would work, I do know people have successfully replaced textures on Playstation games before though.
Textures would still be limited to there original size, but you could probably fit in some more color etc (keeping in mind the limitations)
This has been the only way I've thought of, other than recreating the game (possible, but if you took the time to do it properly, you'd never want to play it again...) to refresh King's Field, if we can find the terrain textures it would be even more better.
Unfortunately, I can't extract the King's Field ISOs past the first game. the one released in Japan only, each time I get invalid MS.DOS function errors -- so for me this is but a dream.
