Damn that is completely different. I am guessing it just has something to do with how the texture is wrapped? If you could get the PC version or Laura to work on DC it would solve the discrepancies issue. That is if it will even be able to use it? But that at least explains why textures are garbled to some degree.

Yes it would seem this is why the levels textures are all wrong i can think you could kill you self do this all by hand to match .. you have to do it for every level as well.. This my freind is a rabbit hole of mega size lol.. I still think something could be done with this ..

[Ian Micheal]

ok i can do this for the logo intro it's a start and pc tool works perfect for this

[Anthony817]

Dammit... I just had a feeling the textures might be an issue here but I was thinking for totally different reasons. Can you show me an example of a PC and DC level texture if you have one on hand preferably the same levels? I want to see how the texture looks. Also, how many textures make up a particular given level? I know you said it would take ages to do by hand but worth at least knowing how large the differences are.

There are differents but maybe you can replace it anyway.
Just give a shot to convert the pc version in pvr format without loosing quality...
The pc looks a very few better.
Well done Ian very fast !

I Love Core Design Lara if there one thing that needs doing is the controls. Really needs tweaking reason why was declining at the time for many was that poor lag on the control buttons. SquareEnix canned the classics ports a good while back that was to feature better control schemes.

Work on a Awesome Level sure only for Lara not to inactive around properly. Yeah the beauty was having Lara fall around but I like to beat the levels too!

nice can you find any other commands like for script.dat names and locations or how it loads title.tex?

Unsure if these are of any use.
