waifu2x-caffe VS arcomage-hd

Windows version of the tool

I'd also recommend https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases for a free upscaler.

Waifu2x in particular, is one of the oldest and still one of the best AI upscalers for anime and drawings in general, and it has always heavily favored Nvidia. The most known port was not the original Waifu2x by nagadomi, but Waifu2x-caffe, which was much more feature rich, and supported CUDA and cuDNN, both Nvidia exclusive. There was an OpenCL alternative which worked on AMD, but it was only as fast as Waifu2x-caffe under CUDA, but with cuDNN it still blew the OpenCL out of the water.

If u want a more detailed program you can look up their github and download it to upscale up to 10x it runs on both cpu and gpu cores so itl work on whatever pc you got. Just scroll down a bit. git hub

It's open source software just as many other projects on github are. Can't really help you translate, but the program is in many languages including English the author is just Japanese https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe If you scroll down you'll see some English text.

I used waifu2x, its client version https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases. It is intended for drawn images, not realistic styles, but maybe you can find a use for this too since you use upscale in your workflow.

The settings I used for the original upscale (using waifu2x-caffe):

I've increased the probabilites of attacking cards. It's now easier to attack and win by destroying opponent's tower. However, I think it actually becomes harder generally, because the computer AI always slightly prefers attacking over defending, but was probably bottlenecked by the low number of attacking cards, which I have just increased.

I use MIT license as well - for every image made by me, all code written by me, I released them under MIT. What I meant is that the images and text that are copied from 3DO's Arcomage are not owned and can't be licensed by us, and should be considered "fairly used" IMO. I mentioned the licensing thing also partly in response to what you said above "[...]UbiSoft did not buy the rights to Arcomage, this gives complete freedom to the community[...]", I don't see "complete freedom" is correct here. But yeah, chance authors of non-commercial opensource fan-remakes of abandonware get into legal issue is almost zero. Anyway, if I were you, maybe I'd not write a long, paranoid license file like Arcomage HD, but I'd at least state something like "The assets, text and other copyrightable elements of the original game are copyrighted by The 3DO Company" in the last section of the README. It's not only legal stuff but also courtesy or a tribute to 3DO and original authors I guess. It's up to you though.

It also has an Electron Desktop app in Windows but that's merely a Chromium browser-like wrapper that visits arcomage.github.io. Usually you don't need it. Use your browser to enjoy the PWA game that can be played offline.

Some update of ArcoMage HD: since the initial alpha release, I've added surrender feature for some rare situation, fixed several bugs including negative resources and new game that crashes the program. With the help of Google Translate, DeepL, original MMVIII's Arcomage images & OCR, I completed the Spanish & Italian translations despite zero knowledge of the languages. I also extracted localized tavern names and location names in all ten languages.
