@ancapgamer said in How do N64 Hi-Res Textures work now?:

Also, they seem to be written primarily for the "mupen64plus" core - which as of the most recent time that I updated my pi4 is no longer available, having been replaced by the "lr-mupen64plus" and "lr-mupen64plus-next" cores.

lr-mupen64plus is the mupen64pus core (now superseded by lr-mupen64plus-next, I think you're confusing it with standalone emulator (which is named mupen64plus).

Multiple google searches have actually yielded a truly distressing lack of documentation. I haven't found anything remotely resembling a set of useful instructions. Does anyone know how you're supposed to get Hi-Res Texture Packs working now?

Standalone instructions https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-rice or the docs page, libretro core(s) https://docs.libretro.com/library/mupen64plus/#hires-textures. The N64 opt page (here) has even a video linked with instructions for standalone Mupen64Plus (not the libretro core).

I agree that documentation could be more explicit, but should get you started. Maybe give more details on what have you tried so far and it's not working?

I've figured it out, after clean reinstalling Retropie all is working fine.
When I go to Retropie Setup and only update mupen64plus via core/main packages (didn't remeber the exactly one) the same issue comes back.

Anyone has an idea ?

Update: Ok i keep it up testing and there is one more thing.
If i did'nt update all works fine. After that i manual edited the mupen64plus.sh to that one which is used after updated mupen64plus package. From here the issue comes back again.
So it seems, there is a bug in the new mupen64plus.sh handeling the texture packages.

If you put the section in, as in my post in the other thread, and load Rice HiRes, it does work, but as soon as you load Glide it seems to remove the section again.
