• OVERVIEW 
=================================
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
  • Steam Store Page
  • Developed by: Cygames, KONAMI.
  • Video Codec Used: Bink 1, Bink 1.1.
  • Original Video Resolution: 1280x720.
  • Audio Channels Supported: N/A.
  • Commission Requested by: uverlord834

All Pre-Rendered Cutscenes have been remastered to 4K, using two-pass AI upscaling in Topaz Video AI.

Please note, I am unaware of differences Bink 1 and 1.1 has, I also cannot find Bink 1.1 encoder anywhere. As the game uses Bink 1, the bitrate had to be bloated to ensure high frame quality.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT RE-HOST MY FILES ON A THIRD-PARTY SITE. THIS ONLY AGGRAVATES AND CONVINCE ME FROM WORKING ON REMASTERED FMVs FURTHER, ESPECIALLY, WHEN I WAS NOT ASKED FOR PERMISSION.

  • Open STEAM common folder, this is where your games are located. To do this, go to STEAM, find Zone of the Enders - The 2nd Runner - MARS. Then Right-Click on it, go to Manage → Browse Local Files.
  • Back up by one folder / go to common folder. You will see the folder in the directory path above in File Explorer, so you can just click on where it says "common".
  • Drag and Drop in the Zone of the Enders - The 2nd Runner - MARS folder from the archive inside the common folder. Replace files when asked by Windows.

I highly recommend reporting bugs under the `Bugs` tab under this mod page, although, I am not always active on Nexus Mods. Alternatively, report any bugs in my Discord Server, which helps me to organise and remember known bugs to fix, more easily.

I will attempt to fix any known bugs as soon as I can, however, I am very busy with my own life, so delays are to be expected!
