This mod fixes the transparency issue still present in 1.4.0. It is still very much relevant, Konami only fixed half the issue with the M9!

Turns out bluepoint actually just messed the hell up and had random opacity on a bunch of textures with the HD collection, making the laser only 3 columns of pixels, and the rest of it was a empty transparent texture.

Comes in a few flavors;
The original HD collection/PS2 texture UNBROKEN
An upscaled version of the original texture with some minor touchups to make it actually circular.
A custom remasered version (by me) with and without words.


Hey Konami, I fixed it first. ♥

It is updated regularly with every patch (and as new bugfix mods come out.)
