I apologize for reviving what is possibly a dead thread, but I have to ask; is this project still ongoing? I really want to be able to play this!
I also would like to know if you'd have any interest in having someone do some HQ textures for your port. Obviously as like a secondary mod or something. I have a few that I've been messing around with and wouldn't mind sharing. They're not perfect, and I forgot to make them all the same size, but I can always do more if you're interested.
