The PSP2i Texture Restoration project is a project by user Rozalin to eventually replace all the textures in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity with authentic high-res versions, for an improved gameplay experience on the PPSSPP emulator. The project replaces many textures in the game, including levels, creatures, skyboxes, special effects, weapons, and more.

Please note that this project is currently a work in progress. The method of texture replacement can only be achieved in PPSSPP, therefore the high-res textures are not available on PSP or PS Vita.
