In plain English

This repository is a Ghibli-style HD texture pack for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, two Nintendo 3DS games, designed to work with the Azahar emulator. The README is an installation guide rather than a description of the visual changes, so this summary covers what the README describes. The Azahar emulator lets you play 3DS game ROMs on a PC or Android device and supports loading replacement texture files that swap the game's original graphics for higher-resolution or artistically altered versions. This texture pack applies a Ghibli-inspired visual style, though the README does not describe the specific visual changes in detail. Installation involves six steps. First, open Azahar and enable custom texture support in the Graphics settings. Second, adjust the internal resolution multiplier, which determines how sharply the game renders beyond the original 3DS screen resolution. For most desktop computers, 5x is recommended, Android phones generally do better at 2x or 3x depending on their GPU. Third, locate the correct texture folder by right-clicking the game in Azahar's game list and selecting "Open Custom Texture Location." Fourth, copy or extract the texture pack folder into that location. The folder must keep its original name (a specific identifier string) unchanged, or Azahar will not recognize it. Common issues include textures not appearing if the folder was renamed or the files are still inside a compressed archive, and performance slowdowns if the internal resolution is set higher than the device can handle. Disabling the preload option can help with loading times on lower-powered hardware. The README does not specify a software license.
