Is there a go-to place for upscaled texture packs?
In case of Duckstation there are no texture packs I'm aware of. Its texture replacement feature is unfinished and not even implemented. The only texture packs for PS1 that were ever released and that I know are Chrono Cross from Tiriosaurus and Wipeout from Lyonheart for the Beetle PSX emulator. All other projects are WIP and probably stuck because of the limitations of the texture replacement features of Beetle and Duckstation.

In the event that you narrow it down to this one game exclusively, you should probably post an issue report here: https://github.com/libretro/beetle-psx-libretro/issues

Aspect ratio and other discoveries
After staring at numbers for what feels like forever, I think I finally cracked it. You can find the mathy part (well, most of it) in the most recent post here, but to explain it simply, I think there might have been a slight bug in the tools used to create the final assets.

Retroarch Beetle PSX HW core no longer loading (worked before)
I did a websearch with SET_MESSAGE_EXT: unhandled setting UI: psx.input.port1.gun_chairs and found interesting results: https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/2hxc3z/retroarch_psx_issues/ and https://github.com/libretro/beetle-psx-libretro/issues/26 . So either you have to rename a BIOS (or add one?) or rename the files in the .cue file I think. At this point, I am not sure, but it looks like as if this is related.
