What is a textures.ini file?

A textures.ini file is a configuration file used by the PPSSPP emulator to map texture hashes to replacement image files, enabling high-definition texture replacement.

Why are my textures not showing up in PPSSPP?

Ensure 'Replace Textures' is enabled in settings, the folder path is correct (/TEXTURES/GAME_ID/), and hashes match exactly. Use this tool's validation feature to check for syntax errors.

Does this tool support KTX2 and DDS?

Yes, the generator supports .ktx2 and .dds file extensions, which are recommended for performance in large texture packs.

About & Usage Guide

The PPSSPP Textures.ini Generator is a professional-grade tool designed for modders and texture artists to streamline the creation of configuration files for the PPSSPP emulator. Whether you're upscaling classic PSP games to 4K or creating custom UI mods, this tool ensures your textures.ini file is syntactically correct and optimized for performance.

Auto Hash Detection

Automatically extracts texture hashes from filenames (e.g., 00000000_name.png) to save hours of manual typing.

Smart Validation

Real-time syntax checking catches common errors like duplicate sections or invalid flags before you export.

Modern Formats

Full support for KTX2 and DDS textures, enabling high-performance texture packs with reduced VRAM usage.

How to Create a Texture Pack

Dump Textures: Look in PPSSPP\MEMSTICK\PSP\TEXTURES\GAME_ID\new\ after playing the game with "Save Textures" enabled in Developer Tools.
Create Assets: Edit the dumped textures or create new ones. Ensure files start with the hash (e.g., 05a8c2f1.png).
Upload: Drag your new texture files into the drop zone above.
Configure: The tool will auto-fill most fields. Add flags like ignoreAdress or reduceHash if needed.
Export: Click "Download .ini" and place the file in your texture pack folder.

Frequently Asked Questions

A textures.ini file is a configuration file used by the PPSSPP emulator to map texture hashes (unique identifiers for game assets) to replacement image files. It allows modders to swap low-resolution PSP textures with high-definition modern assets.

Common reasons include:

"Replace Textures" is not enabled in PPSSPP settings.
The hash in the filename doesn't match the game's hash exactly.
The textures.ini file is in the wrong folder (it must be in /TEXTURES/GAME_ID/).
Syntax errors in the .ini file (use our validator to check!).

Yes! This generator fully supports modern texture compression formats like KTX2 and DDS, which are recommended for larger texture packs to reduce memory usage and improve loading times.
