Giodude's Sonic and the Black Knight Texture Pack
Giodude replaced almost every texture in Sonic and the Black Knight with versions upscaled through ESRGAN (the 4x-AnimeSharp, 4x_BSRGAN and 8x_NMKD-Typescale_175k models) and Gigapixel. The HD textures can be downloaded here as PNG or as a smaller DDS set.
The original release also offered a graphics mod that sharpens or removes the low resolution bloom (the same fix made for Sonic Colors), swaps the Wii Remote button prompts for Xbox Series X ones, and comes with a matching Dolphin controller profile. Those extras were separate downloads from the texture packs.
How to set it up
- In Dolphin, open File > Open User Folder, then go into
Load/Textures/. - Extract the download there, so you end up with a
Load/Textures/REN/folder. - Open Graphics > Advanced and tick Load Custom Textures. Ticking Prefetch Custom Textures too stops stutter, if you have the RAM for it.
