    As a super-resolution arch? It's legendary, but quite outdated. As an app, or especially as an alternative to anything else? 1 star. It's CLI only, and other CLI or GUI based options are faster - many in fact use ESRGAN, but much faster than this outdated official repo. ESRGAN as an arch has been made obsolete by newer arches like DAT and SPAN, and there is quite literally only negatives to running it with official repo code, so making this an alternative to... any of these apps makes no sense.

What is ESRGAN?

(Description from https://www.resetera.com/threads/ai-neural-networks-being-used-to-generate-hq-textures-for-older-games-you-can-do-it-yourself.88272/)

Enhanced Super Resolution Generative Adverserial Network, or ESRGAN, is an upscaling method that is capable of generating realistic textures during single image super-resolution. Basically it's a machine learning technique that uses a generative adverserial network to upres smaller images. By doing it over several passes, it will usually produce an image with more fidelity than methods such as SRCNN and SRGAN. In fact, ESRGAN is based off SRGAN. The difference between the two is that ESRGAN improves on SRGAN's network architecture, adversarial loss and perceptual loss. Furthermore ESRGAN adopts a deeper model using Residual-in-Residual Dense Block (RRDB) without batch normalization layers, and employs Relativistic average GAN instead of the vanilla GAN.
