Using Texture Packs with RetroArch So you want your Ocarina of Time to look super fancy? Used to Project64 letting you use texture packs? Want to use them on a regular, stable emulator? Read on.
You will need to use the Mupen64Plus core for RetroArch. ParaLLEl N64 does not support texture packs.
You can obtain compatible .HTC texture packs from http://www.emutalk.net/forums/134-Completed-Projects
Once you have the texture pack you'd like (and be sure to follow any instructions found within the thread, obviously disregard anything relating to PJ64), follow these steps:
- Navigate to your RetroArch installation folder
-- By default, this is
%AppData%\RetroArchon Windows - Navigate to
.\system\Mupen64plus\cache - Place your texture pack within the
cachefolder - If you do not have a cache folder, create one.
And then load the ROM with the Mupen64Plus core selected. Finally, enable the option Quick Menu (F1) -> Options -> Use High-Res textures and Use High-Res Full Alpha Channel. Reload the content You should now have your texture pack active.
