where to put hi-res 64 packets

Smidgbit

I was able to edit the file to "true" and I have the hi-res packets but I am unable to find the location to where to put them. Everyone says "/home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/hires_texture/". I am unable to find this through my windows computer. I tried filezilla but it doesn't even find the pi. Where and how do I access /home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/hires_texture/" so I can load the packets?

Edit: I was finally able to connect to my PI through filezilla and locate the directory.

Turns out I still need help. I have the spot where I thought the packets were to go and the packets. When I drop them in using filezilla I do not see any difference. Am I supposed to extract them then put them on? There is no explanation on line or in any you tube videos. It is just get the "/home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/hires_texture/" directory and seems about it.

in the hires_texture do I need to make a separate folder for each game? Do I put the zipped file or the extracted file in it? Sorry for the confusion and thank your in advanced for any help.

Hi,

Just looking at my setup in Filezilla:

You extract each pack into its own folder under hires_texture named with the ROM header name (instructions are in the wiki for how to obtain the name).

I also added the following section to the mupen64plus.cfg file so I could use them with the Rice decoder (as for some reason mine keeps setting the Glide option back to False on every startup).

LoadHiResTextures = True

I've been having this same problem since about January. @administrators is this a problem we need to open with mupen or is this the retropie side?
