HiRes Texture packs not loading

robio

I'm trying to use hires texture packs for Zelda Ocraina of Time but can't get it to work.

Pi Model: 3
RetroPie Version Used: 4.0.2 (at least that's what the retropie_packages.shscript sais.
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website

I followed the instructions here. That is, enable the according lines for the texture pack loading in the mupen64plus.cfg config file and place the texture packs in /home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/hires_texture/THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

I tried the two following packs:
2011 OOT cell pack
2014 OOT HD pack

That's the folder structure of the HD pack:

THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA
`-- GFX
    |-- cache
    |   `-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_HIRESTEXTURES.htc
    |-- GLideN64.custom.ini
    |-- gliden64_de.qm
    |-- GLideN64.dll
    |-- gliden64_fr.qm
    |-- GLideN64.ini
    `-- gliden64_it.qm

2 directories, 7 files

I was not sure what to do with the .dat file from the other pack so after a while I was desperate enough to just try this:

THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA/
|-- GFX
|   |-- cache
|   |   |-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_HIRESTEXTURES.dat
|   |   `-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_MEMORYCACHE.dat
|   |-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_HIRESTEXTURES.dat
|   `-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_MEMORYCACHE.dat
|-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_HIRESTEXTURES.dat
`-- THE\ LEGEND\ OF\ ZELDA_MEMORYCACHE.dat

2 directories, 6 files

This is the log when I'm trying to run it with the run command with GLideN64 and CEA-5. Now the first weird thing is that it sais (II) Setting video mode 640x480... although I specified CEA-5.

It's the same behaviour if I run it from the command like like so:
/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh mupen64plus-video-rice Legend\ of\ Zelda\,\ The\ -\ Ocarina\ of\ Time\ \(U\)\ \(V1.2\)\ \[\!\].v64
or
/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh mupen64plus-video-GLideN64 Legend\ of\ Zelda\,\ The\ -\ Ocarina\ of\ Time\ \(U\)\ \(V1.2\)\ \[\!\].v64

I'm a bit lost here. Any help appreciated! Are there any other logs I could look into? Any way to make the the log output more verbose?
Thanks a lot!

I found a solution which seems to work for me.

Use this tool (or this one for .dat files) and to extract the .htc file located in the GFX/cache folder of the texture pack.

compile glide(n)64-cache-extract
install imagemagick sudo apt-get install imagemagick
follow the convert instructions of the according tool on github
rename the .png files to match the rom name, e.g. rename -v 's/MUPEN64PLUS/THE LEGEND OF ZELDA/' *.png

If you chose to convert on the pi itself it will take quite some time. All needed tools can easily be used on a desktop computer running linux to speed things up.

Also the whole endeavour seems a bit tedious, so if somebody knows how to handle this easier I'm happy to hear it.

@robio The command make throws an error: make: *** [Makefile:51: gliden64_cache_extract.o] Error 127
I'm using cygwin with gcc-core, make, pkg-config, ImageMagick and git packages.

@sagrado7 the error should be detailed before that. But it's probably not working on cygwin. Use the pi or Linux perhaps?

So I need to update the instructions a bit as 4.0 has changed a few things.

What I need to add is what is required for launching normally.

So you have the pack in the right folder structure.

You need to make sure to update the Retropie SEtup script and update everything including manually updating mupen 64.

Now through the normal menu, launch the game and press x on startup to bring up the runcommand prompt for the game

Under category 2 pick emulator for rom mupen64plus-GlideN64-highres

The first rom I tried seemed to not want to work, so i just grabbed a different copy seemd to be a read write issue.

then choose launch and oulila
you should see a small loading screen that dows textures being loaded.

As far as the workaround you found I suspect that there are is a way to make texture packs for Rice and for Glide the most common being glide, but I know that some of the vailable tex packs for Zelda were done for Rice. So it seems your method is changing a rice texture pack for a glide one which all glide formats I have used and tested work without issue.

I have also updated the wiki to take out some obsolete information and update parts specific to High Resolution Texture Packs.

@sagrado7 I would suggest the same thing as BuZz, try to run everything on the Pi. It takes a bit longer to compile and also to convert the textures but it's still reasonable. If you don't get it to work I'll post a step by step instruction that can be run on the pi.

@Twitch0815 Might be the case. I don't know anything about texture packs really. I just had a look at a working texture pack and tried to get the Zelda one to have the same file formats, names and folder structure.

sagrado7

I already did it, i downloaded the wrong compiler in the CYGWIN, not the GCC-CORE.
I extract all the files and converted them into png, but the Project64 cannot load the textures, but other textures the plugin GlideN64 can load without problems.
