        @Stuart2773 I'm sorry. Different patches may have different instructions - I don't know.

        I shared the instructions for the patch corresponding to one of the videos you shared, copied from the discord channel linked in that video - just because that was the one I also used.

        What are the instructions where you download that patch from? Do they have a discord or forum? That might shed some light for that specific pack.

        The content of the patch, in my case, is the content of the uncompressed zip file. I also ran into one which was a .pak file, but I had no idea what to do with it and, honestly, didn't bother much to follow up on it.

        Hope these help somewhat.

        thats where i got the packs from :-

            I installed the HD Luigi pack. I cloned the directory, saved the textures and sound files where they needed to be, ran the apply_patch.sh with HD_luigi.sh then ran make. Works fine for me 👍

                  ok this is my WORK-AROUND !!!

                  first of all i downloaded this:- https://github.com/TechieAndroid/sm64redrawn/archive/master.zip and extacted the folder to my desktop

                  on my pi4b 4gb i already had the sm64pc installed (without texture packs)

                  using putty :-

                  1. sudo apt install build-essential git python3 libaudiofile-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libusb-1.0.0 libsdl2-dev

                  2. git clone -b nightly https://github.com/sm64pc/sm64ex.git

                  3. cp RetroPie/roms/n64/Mario.z64 sm64ex/baserom.us.z64

                  4. cd sm64ex

                  now on WinSCP

                  in the folder "sm64ex" i noticed i did not have a "build" folder so i copided the "build" folder from "sm64pc" to "sm64ex"

                  and within that build/us_pc folder i created a directory call "res"

                  now in the "res" folder i copied the "gfx" folder that i extracted from the "sm64redrawn-master" on my desktop

                  1. make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4 EXTERNAL_DATA=1

                  2. create the sm64ex.sh file in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports

                    #!/bin/bash
                    /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U

                  then restarted the pi :)

                    @Stuart2773 Thank you.

                    did you only use the gfx folder in the zip? I think the other folder is alternative gfx's

                    Also, anyone know how to open the custom menu? It mentions it in the readme for sm64ex.

                      yes i only used the gfx folder but you can copy the other alternative folder there too if you wish

                        Build sm64ex with the sm64redrawn texture pack - Assumes you are building us versions

                        Step 1: Run this command

                        Sudo apt install build-essential git python3 libaudiofile-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libusb-1.0.0  libsdl2-dev
                        

                        Step 2: Git clone sm64ex

                        git clone --single-branch --branch nightly https://github.com/sm64pc/sm64ex.git
                        

                        Step 3: Take your .z64 file of Super Mario 64 and put it in the files. Note change the code to your rom name in your roms directory.

                        cp RetroPie/roms/n64/Mario.z64 sm64ex/baserom.us.z64
                        

                        Step 4: Build

                        cd sm64ex
                        
                        make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4
                        

                        Step 5: rm -rf build

                        Step 6: Create a build folder and a gfx and res folder under the sm64ex folder
                        build\us_pc\res\gfx
                        <pre>sm64ex
                        ┗ build
                        ┗ us_pc
                        ┗ res
                        ┗ gfx
                        ┣ actors
                        ┣ levels
                        ┗ textures</pre>

                        <b>(Master Clone)</b>
                        If you git clone the master you can just copy the gfx folder into your res directory and that's it.

                        Step 7: download the zip package sm64redrawn sm64redrawn and unzip

                        step 8: copy the contents of the gfx folder and alt folder from the extracted sm64redrawn zip into the res folder created in step 6 (alt folder contains icon updates etc.)

                        step 9: cd sm64ex

                        Step 8:

                        make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4 EXTERNAL_DATA=1
                        

                        Step 9: Create a .sh file, name it sm64pc.sh, and put the following code in it:

                        #!/bin/bash
                        /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U
                        

                        Step 10: Move the .sh file into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports

                        Step 11: Play the game as you imagined it was in the 90

                          @Krakatoa Can you make it totally noob friendly and be clear when you say "Step 4: Build" please?

                          Also when you say "create a build folder", is that totally empty (in terms of files) aside from the sm64redrawn files? I assume it is but just want to be sure as Stuart2773 mentioned copying an existing build folder with files within it.

                          One other thing I've noticed - Step 4 is region-free, Step 8 is US.

                              @Krakatoa I deleted my previous directory, so I was starting from scratch. I am sure I followed this to the letter but mine has built again without the textures. I don't know what I've done wrong.

                              The textures are still in the build/gfx/res folder, they are sitting there but for some reason they don't appear to be there when I play.

                              It is right that the SM64Redrawn folders sit under build\gfx\res\actors and so on, isn't it? I think this is going to be where the problem lies. I moved the actors, levels and templates directories to sit under build\gfx\res. I amalgamated the contents of the gfx and alt versions of those directories also. Looking at what Stuart did, that seems quite different - and there isn't usually room for interpretation in these things.

                                @AdamBeGood It could be an error on my end. I typed it up from memory after playing around with it this morning.

                                  @Krakatoa There is quite a bit of difference and I am very unsure where to put those files. Thank you very much for the guide though - I feel like I am near to it.

                                  Stuart2773 has those files in build/us_pc/res/gfx (and presumably build/us_pc/res/alt), while your guide has them in build/gfx/res.

                                  I am also slightly confused as to whether I copy in a previously made build folder, or if there should only be the SM64Redrawn files in there when I do the final build (I hope that makes sense as a sentence). The instructions suggest the build folder is blank at the point you copy in the SM64Redrawn files but I am pretty sure it shouldn't be.

                                  I guess I will try to do this again, I'll have another punt once work is finished.

                                    The only reason i copied the existing build folder was that mine was missing when i complied. As for copying the files to the res folder i just followed the instructions that was in the readme.md file that came with the sm64redrawn.zip

                                      @Stuart2773 Yeah, I have done that though... I followed the steps given and then moved the gfx and alt folders to build/us_pc/res/gfx and build/us_pc/res alt. I have looked at the github documentation also.

                                      The step I don't understand is why the folder is removed with "rm -rf" before the SM64Redrawn files are put in to the folder.

                                      You say you were missing the build folder, but if it is being deleted even if it is created, then what is the purpose of you copying an existing build folder over...?

                                      God, I'm confused. Thanks for the help.

                                        @AdamBeGood The more I think about you could probably skip steps 4 and 5 becuase its being built in step 8

                                          thats where i ran into problems with the rm -rf build thats why i didnt include it when i finally got mine to build

                                            @Stuart2773 @Krakatoa I ended up trying with both /build/us_pc/res and /build/res at the same time to see if either worked...

                                            Judging from the speed it runs now, I think it has...! It's unplayably slow though, did people find that?
