(GC) Tales of Symphonia (USA) | HD Textures

[Panda_Venom]

Completed:
- UI, fonts, maps, background, characters and monster textures.

Missing:
- Some background textures (~10%)

Known issues:
- Ymir forest is a little glitchy, the water effect is not 100% compatible with the HD textures in some part. (I am trying to fix this, but not an easy task)
- Some grass, trees, or other transparent textures may be slightly off (the original assets are very compressed and low-res)
- Some background colors are slightly different from the original (a little darker, no big deal)
- Skits flickering: If you enable the Prefetch option in the Dolphin menu, it fixes the flickering (and some other stuttering and glitches), but you need at least 16 GB of RAM (or 24-32 for the 4K backgrounds). Without prefetch, there will be minor glitches (like the flickering skits), but you need much less ram.
