Gamecube and Wii textures Dumps.

It is designed as a faster alternative to the full size model, it requires much less Vram and is significantly faster.

HDCube Compact

Purpose: Gamecube and Wii textures.

Gamecube and Wii textures (mainly DXT and 8bit color compression). Is good for preserving fine details without affecting the original style too much, it is not suitable for pixel art, small icons and text under 16 pixel.

Pretrained model: 4x_NMKD Siax

HDCube2

Purpose: Gamecube and Wii textures.
Pretrained: 4x_HDcube2

It can be used for all image formats supported by Gamecube and Wii hardware and can remove its typical artifacts like CMPR Block Compression (DXT1 algorithm, also known as BC1), color palette errors, color reduction up to 8bit color depth and 1bit alpha depth.

HDCube3

A 4x upscaler for BC1-compressed normal maps with a zeroed-out B channel. The output normals will also have a constant-zero B channel. Use external software or image editing plugins to properly normalize the generated normals and generate the Z component (if necessary). E.g. chaiNNer can do this with Normalize Normal Map node. Do not rely on this network producing unit vectors. 

**Dataset transformation:** \
The LR have been compressed with various BC1 compression settings (dithering, weighting) using Texconv version 2021.11.8.1. Since the contents of the B channel influence the R and G channels during compression, the LR were given a B channel that was either the Z component of the normal, a random constant color, or a random texture (usually the G channel of the associated albedo) before compression. The LR + B channel was then compressed and the resulting BC1-compressed DDS was converted back into a PNG and had its B channel zeroed out.
