This mod replaces the HD main menu backgrounds (and JUST the main menu backgrounds, not the loading screens or other splashes - you may be interested in Classic Mode Loading Screens in Remastered Mode) used in Remastered Mode with the original ones used in Classic Mode. It seems the game only likes a 1920x1080 resolution for these, so I Nearest Neighbour upscaled them 300% and then Lanczos downscaled them to 1920x1080, which produces an image which is not pixel-perfect but still looks fairly sharp and correct - sharper in fact that the upscaling method used for them in Classic Mode itself.

As of Version 2, I have gone through whatever sources I can find for the original main menu backgrounds - that is, the three international variations of each included with TR1-3R, and also the PSX/Saturn rips made available by Suikaze Raider here - to blend back in details which were lost to overly crushed blacks, and to overall present the backgrounds in the best light I can. You can hopefully see the difference if you compare the screenshots in the media tab. This is less strictly faithful however, so if you are still looking for a 1:1 copy of the exact backgrounds TR1-3R uses in Classic Mode, you should keep using Version 1, now available in the old files section.

There are variants available in Optional Files which use the same image for all three regions (US, EU, Japan) - you can pick to override them all with the American backgrounds, or to override them all with the European backgrounds. Still only in Remastered Mode mind you - I admit I haven't worked out how to modify anything in Classic Mode since I'm not familiar with classic TR modding generally.

If you want to have the little game cover thumbnails replaced with their classic versions, see the miscellaneous file on my Low-res Fonts and Icons in Remastered Mode mod (which doesn't force you to use the low res font, I should add - the reason for putting it on that mod page is that those cover thumbnails are included as part of the game's font images).

Pro-tip from PCGamingWiki: add -nolegal to the game's launch options in Steam (Right Click -> Properties, text box at the bottom of that window) to skip the company splash screens.

Installation Instructions:
