Taking Emulation to the next Level!!! Check ESRGAN!

I am just amazed by the early results for ESRGAN (Enhanced Super Resolution Generative Adverserial Network,) which is an up-scaling method (like XBRZ) but immensely better. Just read about it here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ai-neural-networks-being-used-to-generate-hq-textures-for-older-games-you-can-do-it-yourself.88272/

(read the thread till the end, many screenshots of ESRGAN actually working)

Here is Resident Evil 2 with ESRGAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu_9KRp484g

Here is a thread discussing Final Fantasy IX, interesting part is comparison between pc/psx & upscaled: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=muh86vcohccngu5fp2a7ja9n96&topic=18553.0
 
Lastly here is a blog with instructions about using ESRGAN (on win): https://kingdomakrillic.tumblr.com/post/178254875891/i-figured-out-how-to-get-esrgan-and-sftgan
