ROM Hack Emulator [WIP] Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux Restoration Project

[PhoenixSMT]

Lately I've been playing a lot of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, and baing a returning player from the original I naturally missed the original art done by the legend himself, Kazuma Kaneko, and so I've been searching high and low for restoration patches, but turned out empty-handed. Then me and a friend decided to take the task upon ourselves.

This project is still being worked on and we're gonna make updates and fixes as we go along.

Are you considering making a patch for Luma's LayeredFS as well?

Yes, if I can get it to work.

I found this when I first heard about this game. I thought it strange considering it is from reality... are we really here or have they arrived..

What is the difference between this texture pack and the HD texture pack that Citra has on their website ?

Off-topic, but is it possible to edit armor resistances? I want to do my own challenge where every armor that doesn't resist/null ice will be weak to it by default (including the vanilla starter vest).
