[size=10pt]IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED
1) Extract and replace the files in the .zip to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\
IF YOU HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED (not required!)
1) If you installed it before 2020-04-2, uninstall and re-install Moguri again (SquareEnix pushed a Steam update that temporarily broke the game and Moguri)
2) Extract the content of StreamingAssets in \Program Files (x86)\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets\
3) Extract \x64\FF9_Data\resources.assets & \x64\FF9_Data\sharedassets2.assets to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\x64\FF9_Data\
but DON'T replace Assembly-CSharp.dll
To check you have the right version, here's how the first frame should look
1) In steam, right click the game, go to "properties...", go to the LOCAL FILES tab, click VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES. This will re-download the original files, but your saves are still intact.
p0data2.bin - Battle backgrounds
p0data3.bin - Worldmap textures
p0data4.bin - NPC, monsters and background items
p0data11.bin to p0data19.bin - Main backgrounds
resources.assets & sharedassets2.assets - UI stuff (maps, title screen...)
Assembly-CSharp.dll - The patched file that allows for the augmented resolution of backgrounds. (The one here and the one in moguri are different)
p0data3.bin - Worldmap textures
p0data4.bin - NPC, monsters and background items
p0data11.bin to p0data19.bin - Main backgrounds
resources.assets & sharedassets2.assets - UI stuff (maps, title screen...)
Assembly-CSharp.dll - The patched file that allows for the augmented resolution of backgrounds. (The one here and the one in moguri are different)
Note: If you have uninstalled Moguri and/or Memoria and you have names like ZidaneZidane, ViviVivi, you can salvage your save with this tool: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/7672/
Note: Alternate Fantasy is not currently supported.
