MODS/EMULATORS

This SNES emulator mod makes Mode 7 graphics 'HD' with amazing results
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-snes-emulator-mod-makes-mode-7-graphics-hd-with-amazing-results/
My favorite thing about emulating modern 3D games is the ability to run them at vastly higher resolutions—The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, is stunning at 4K. Higher resolution rendering doesn't work so well for older pixel art games, or so I thought. A mod released today for Super Nintendo emulator bsnes, called HD Mode 7, shows how much detail you can get out of the faux 3D mode's graphics.

Follow this link to see the original and HD graphics for Super Mario Kart, Pilotwings, and F-Zero, with screenshots taken by the modder. A quick mouse-over shows just how striking the difference is.
The mod is brand new, and Redditor DerKoun offers a bit of detail: This mod lets bsnes "perform Mode 7 transformations (incl. HDMA) at up to 4 times the horizontal and vertical resolution."
>> The difference is quite noticeable.

New Resident Evil 2 Remake mods replace Claire & Leon with Quiet & Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid 5
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-resident-evil-2-remake-mods-replace-claire-leon-with-quiet-big-boss-from-metal-gear-solid-5/
Modders ‘SirLumberjackie’ and ‘George’ have released two interesting mods for Resident Evil 2 Remake. These mods replace Leon’s Arklay Sheriff costume with Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid 5 and Claire’s Jacket costume with Quiet.
Now while this is really cool, I’d really love to also see a mod introducing the iconic Metal Gear Solid theme to Capcom’s survival game. This would make the following mods even better, though I’m pretty sure that die-hard MGS fans will also find these mods cool.
In order to install these mods, you’ll need the Fluffy Manager that you can download from here. Once you have installed the Fluffy Manager, you’ll have to place the rar file into the “modmanagerGamesRE2RMods” folder and then install the Quiet and Big Boss mods.
>> Check the article for the links to both mods.
