Pyrometheous Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 So I've been slowly making Launchbox/BigBox home, and I've been working more and more with retroarch, after getting things setup initially, it's just nice to have it be there and re-configure controls for whatever device I happen to be using. That being said, I'm not having much luck with getting N64 emulation rolling with the hi res texture pack I have for Zelda OOT. I can only find the "rice" plugin available within the "parallel_n64" core, but I don't know where to drop the textures. Another thing that's weird is that the game doesn't appear to be rendering correctly with the "parallel_N64" core. Everything looks fine in Mupen, but I still can't get high res textures in either way. I've seen some other posts that say they get it working, but I don't know where to actually put the files. In Project64, I put the files here: ~\LaunchBox\Emulators\Project64 2.1\Plugin\GFX\hires_texture, then each game had it's own folder.

Lordmonkus Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I wrote this up back when it was still the GLupeN64 core but the same still process still applies, just replace all references of GLupeN64 with Mupen64plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrometheous Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yeah, I saw that, but Project 64 isn't making the .htc file from the loose files for me. I have a bunch of ".dat" files in ~LaunchBox\Emulators\Project64 2.1\Plugin\GFX\cache, but even after launching a game, I don't get any .htc files. I'm using the Glide64 plug-in and the "rice format" for hi res textures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm not sure if Rice format ones convert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my loose files look like this Would these be considered the "loose" files? If so, what plugin for Project64 do I need to use in order to produce the .htc files?

Lordmonkus Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yes, those would be loose files. If they are GlideN64 compatible they should load using PJ64 with the GlideN64 plugin and an .htc file should be generated in the \Plugin\GFX\cache\ folder of your PJ64 install folder. It's been a while since I have messed with this stuff so my memory could be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I downloaded the latest version of Project64, I also downloaded the texture pack from scratch (it kept crashing with the one that works on a previous version of Project64), Using the "Glide64 For PJ64: 2.1.2.3" I still only get ".dat" files as a result. I'm tinkering with settings though. I did notice that the Glide64 still needs to be set to "Rice" in order to use the texture pack though.

p bizzy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Can someone post/pastebin their Retroarch console log of what it looks like when a hi res texture is loading with the mupen64plus core? I have txHiresEnable set to "True" and the console reflects this on startup, and have tried putting the .htc files (downloaded ones as well as generated ones that work in pj64) in every possible place it might look in the Mupen64plus system folder of Retroarch but for the life of me can't even get it to show me it's trying to locate any textures, much less load them.

p bizzy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 No one? I thought everyone else got this working but me >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Did you set Use High-res Full Alpha Channel to True ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p bizzy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yeah, both are enabled (tried with it off as well). And with a couple different packs. I'm at a loss. Using latest Mupen64plus core with (now) Retroarch 1.6.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You should have in your \Retroarch\system folder a sub folder called Mupen64plus and then in there should be some more folders and files. The .htc texture packs go into the \cache folder. If it doesn't work for you I really don't know what to tell you, this is what worked for me.

p bizzy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) That's what I have...trying everything fresh. Oh, well. Thanks for your help, though. You would think the console would show where its trying to find a texture pack at least if that option is enabled.

p bizzy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Is that GlideN64.custom.ini from when it was the old name? I don't have that file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It was auto generated I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
