How to Install N64 HD Textures in Batocera

[@dallase1]

Finally someone else that knows about hitting F3 to bring up 2 windows to make it easier to copy files between folders and drives.

Star Fox has never looked better. gunna be replaying this over the holidays.

[@kellexone5814]

Amazing! Even though I already had the Nintendo 64 emulator setup, this helped me above and beyond when it came to re-living some classic games with brand new textures. Changes how we play retro games for sure

[@BatoceraNation]

Textures are great for enhancing the games.

[@dallase1]

Wow, the second Starfox video was amazing, much sharper than the first video on the Starfox Logo on the Mother Ship.

[@classicvwbugs]

I see that the NES has graphics packs upgrades as well using "Mesen." Any ideas if this would work in Batocera?

[@michaelwhaley4638]

Awesome Video!!

[@nharde466]

This is awesome. I had Majora's Mask set up in Windows specifically with the HD pack and now I can take my one hold out game over to Batocera! Hell yes! Batocera blows my mind. I've been slowly setting it up on a 2tb drive. Following all your tutorials Mr. Nation! Currently stuck on the MAME one because of the huge files lol. But that's something I've been wanting forever. All the arcade! This ways been so convenient and looks awesome. Are you gonna be doing more Nintendo stuff next? Certain things I'm confused on if there's a way to put in Batocera. NES and GBA is all good, for example. But then you throw in like the E-Reader cards on GBA, or allll of the weird Famicom Disk stuff and it seems a little confusing. Just wondering what's next on the agenda lol. Very appreciative. Thank you!!!

[@BatoceraNation]

I plan to do more tutorials on some more emulators. I will have to take a look the E-Reader cards and the Famicom Disk and play with it before it's a possibility.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Batocera NatHar 👍

Pro Tip: if you dont have the .local file path that leads to “hires texture” you need to run a game using mupen as the emulator and also have texture packs turn On. having these turned on will create the file path. i didnt have this so i hand built the path then loaded the game with custom textures turned on with my home made path and texture pack loaded but it didnt load my texture and it created the file path to a separate hires folder. so i went back to check an seen it. so i delete my homemade one an copied the textures to the file path the game made on its own. all you gotta do it turns out is run a game with the mupenplus emulator and the custom textures turned on.

This was very helpful. Thank you. This comment should be pinned to help other experiencing the same issue.

[@nuclearhotcoffee7650]

You, good sir, have been of tremendous help.

[@tjarkworthmann105]

Thanks so much from Germany!

[@PaulPittman]

I tried to add one of the star fox texture packs and it would not run in the rice emulator, it would kick be back out to the game selection screen

[@drusso66]

Trying this in latest version 33 but in the share folder i have a Trash folder and applications folder cannot find the Mupen64 plus or any other emualtor folders

[@timmatanick8319]

Exact same problem here too.

[@benbuttars5594]

So, I attempted to do this, I’m fairly certain I’m running the games on mupen64-plus. There is no file folder present in local folder. Any hints?

[@fonzitheman]

Havent got much to say about this vid, but I feel like I need to make leave comment. So here you go. 😁… . ………… Oh, good video as usual too 😊👍

[@smilesometimes]

The share folder does not have the mupen64plus folder

[@bryanquiroga4571]

have had no luck, seems like the folder is created but I put the .hts files in there and nothing different happens when I load the game

[@TheOnlyGHOST1015]

Wow this was crazy

[@lockedman8498]

Do you know how to install Mesen's HdPacks in Batocera?

[@ForjadePapel]

would it be possible to pack graphics for the games resisdent2 and 3 in hd for the ps1 as well?

[@floriankipping]

Great idea. Great homemade N64 improvement and, by the way, a Great video tutorial. Does this work with F-Zero on a Raspberry Pi 4? If the answer is 'Yes', I’m in :)

[@BatoceraNation]

It should work.

[@calvinator]

Can anyone share how to get to .local folder. I cant find mine even after I have clicked on the show hidden folder

[@terrapi_bk]

Hello, can you make a video about the settings of an n64 controller to play Zelda and other games that need the 4 yellow buttons?

[@BatoceraNation]

I might have to do this. Your the second person to make this request.

[@LivingTheNOWLovingTheWOW]

Hello, great video again , thank you. Im just wondering if I am able to use these on batocera on an android tv box??? Im currently using winSCP on my laptop to view and add files to my box but I cannot find a local folder in the explorer menu of the batocera system?

[@KokoaNishimura]

Even though I already know how to do it, I'd love to see a video on how to apply HD texture packs for GameCube games. :)

[@BatoceraNation]

Yes. I plan to do that and for Dreamcast as well soon.

[@babymuscle87]

Is it possible to use Project 64 in batocera

[@tonystrike5216]

Thank you. Didn't know about the F3 which has made it easier for me. As for the folder for the textures, it doesn't exist on mine. I have noticed this a few times where the folder isnt there. The apps is something else that doesn't work, I double click and nothing happens.

[@gavincaventer3272]

hello this is something im going to try, do you know of any 007 goldeneye texture packs thanks

[@BatoceraNation]

With the exception from the ones found on my website, I don't know of more.

[@gavincaventer3272]

@@BatoceraNation that’s a shame as the game has some much protenual

[@hsclute]

I'm on V34 and don't have the option for MUPENPLUS64/RICE- how can I remedy this to enable HD packs? Thanks for all of the informative videos!

[@BatoceraNation]

What are your specs on your Batocera system?

[@hsclute]

[@jeremygray1769]

The Rice pack says it don't support my file format ... I have .zip and .n64

[@fonzitheman]

Are they all zipped though ? Try using them all unzipped. I found for N64 you are better off using them unzipped for some cores. Then N64 or Z64 extension roms should boot fine.

[@AguFungus]

If I want to use textures in .hts format with Mupen64Plus-Next, where should I place the texture file? The file in question is the Mario Kart HD pack. Edit: Figured it out. I have to place it in \share\bios\Mupen64plus\cache, and turn "Use enhanced Hi-Res Storage" on for the .hts file to work.

[@BatoceraNation]

Thanks for sharing your solution. I need to check out that HD pack.

[@nelsonmacias396]

Hello, I followed the steps you indicate in the video and everything is going great. But I want to ask you how I could make the games start for me in Spanish, thank you very much in advance and greetings from Colombia

[@leandromonteagudo1198]

Can I do this with my raspberry pi 4b??

[@BatoceraNation]

In Batocera 32, try it with Gliden64 plug-in.

[@michaelwhaley4638]

do you have the bios for the ver 32

[@BatoceraNation]

Not yet. I plan to as soon as it comes out. Batocera 32 should be coming out this week.

[@fonzitheman]

I think the only reason you need to update bios files is if the next version of Batocera adds a system that needs one, which correct me if Im wrong but v32 doesnt. V31 did cause it added classic xbox support. Its not like theres new version bios files for retro systems being created 😁

[@BatoceraNation]

We do need a couple of new Bios files.

[@michaelwhaley4638]

I just updated to 32 yesterday

[@fonzitheman]

@@BatoceraNation Ah… I havent tried any beta versions of v32 and havent looked at what system(s) have been added… care to mention it here? 😁 It might not be a system I care for (or others) so we still may not need any new bios files. 😊 Also, I read some comments somewhere that the devs have indeed added the pcsx2 Libretro core which Ive always hoped for.. As a choice for PS2 emulation, that true? Id imagine the stand alone emulator would still have to run considerably better though.

[@paparansen]

we need hd texture pack for " Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire "... O K A Y ? ! lol ^^

[@BatoceraNation]

Let me look for one and I'll upload it to the website.

[@paparansen]

@@BatoceraNation that would be awesome... i looked around and could not find any.

[@BatoceraNation]

If I find one, I will let you know here, Okay.

[@BatoceraNation]

No such luck! I did search for it but got nowhere.

[@arnoldarcher687]

Sorry but I'm not getting that

[@indiwo1f]

ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok

[@dallase1]

On my system there is no mupen64plus under share/system/.local/share I have Batocera 32 Sable. I do have the N64 emulator installed with some games and I've played one of them.I have Show Hidden check marked. I had to create that folder and now it works.

[@BatoceraNation]

Interesting. Are you running this on a PC?

[@dallase1]

Yes and I installed it directly from a jump drive as opposed to upgrading from 31.

[@drdivdav]

Hi had same problem, go in per system config menu and select mupen/rice as emulator, also change Hires Textures from auto to on. Now f1 and file should be there.

[@drusso66]

@@drdivdav tried this, but still no Mupen64 folder in my share folder, running latest Batocera 33

[@Runningbowels]

I'm on version 33 and did not have mupen64plus so I created it myself and copied the textures packs into the hires texture folder but unfortunately the mk2, gliden, and rice cores do not work. They would start and go back out to the n64 menu. The only core that works is the parallel one which according to this video does that support hires textures.
