Final Fantasy IX AI Upscale Mod Receives Significant Update | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

The Moguri Mod, a PC mod that enhances Final Fantasy IX’s visuals beyond current official remasters by leveraging AI through Stable Diffusion, has seen a major update after being on hiatus.

Key Features and Enhancements

  • 2D backgrounds have been refined, now offering an upscale experience with new shaders for character and enemy models in both ‘Toon’ and ‘Realistic’ styles.
  • The mod requires the Steam version of Final Fantasy IX, along with a 5GB storage space and the Memoria mod launcher to use it.

How do you feel about AI being used to upscale visuals in retro games like Final Fantasy IX? Do you think it enhances the gaming experience or takes away from the original charm?

I just clicked around. Any idea how to apply this in Linux? I might tinker with it myself, but a heads up would help.

This guide is a couple years old, but I can't imagine the setup steps have changed much in the meantime:
