Weekly update!

[SL1 Demon's Souls Glitchless - Continued]

All the footage has been assembled. The subtitles are currently being made. The video is around 33 minutes long and it should be out around the next update.

[Upscaling with AI]

While the framerate and resolution have been improved significantly (720p 30fps -> 1440p 60fps) using the RPCS3 emulator, some of the textures were too low res to work with, even after extracting the original files from the game disc directly.

I've been looking at various methods to restore these images and came across ESRGAN. It is a neural network-based image enhance utility. It gave better results than other upscale solutions like waifu2x. I'll be using this program for future videos that have low-res icons such as Dark Souls 2.

Thank you all for your support.
