      I was curious so I enabled Hi-Res Texture packs and tried to load them and am supper happy with the results.

      It requires jumping through a few hoops to get this to work but I am communicating with the devs to get this process simplified.

      If you want to try at home,
      You will need to enable Hi_res textures by editing the mupen64plus.conf file under the rice category.

      so edit the
      /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg file and

      look for

      Enable hi-resolution texture file loading

      LoadHiResTextures = False
      and change the flag from False to True

      Then go download you some Hi-Res Texture packs

      on your pi
      cd /home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/hires_texture

      then create the following directories.

      mkdir Diddy Kong Racing
      mkdir MARIOKART64
      mkdir PAPER MARIO
      mkdir SMASH BROTHERS
      mkdir STARFOX64
      mkdir WAVE RACE 64
      mkdir THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

      And upload the root of any hi-res texture packs you download into those directories. The folder name as to match the core name of the rom that is booted .

      on your pi press F4 make sure you are at terminal
      cd /home/pi/retropie/roms/n64

      then use the command
      /opt/retopie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plush.sh mupen64plus-video-rice rom name

      remembering to replace the rom name with the name of the rom you are launching.

      That should work

      Let me know if you have any questions and I will update here as I make further progress.

      Already pretty sure I can do the same thing with Glide just need more time to investigate will update you soon.

      To do:
      Figure out how to get it enabled and running via runcommand.

            Very cool!!! I could see a major difference in all the games you covered but the one that really stood out to me was Majora's Mask. I was waiting to see what Smash bros would look like. In my personal experience though, I found that Smash Bros performed best with Glide. If you don't mind no faces on the characters. So maybe that's why you didn't get around to Smash bros? Either way excellent work on testing out High Res textures!!!

              okay so my rom name for mario kart 64 is , Mario Kart 64 (U) [!]

              Do i need to rename it to MARIOKART64? Or will current rom name be fine?

                      @red2blue you asked this question 2 weeks ago. Just try it as it is. If it doesn't work then change the file name of the ROM.
                      It all depends on how the ROM in named in the header.

                        @jonnykesh thats what im asking tho how do i find out the name in the header?

                        Cause when i ran that command "/opt/retopie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plush.sh mupen64plus-video-rice rom name"

                        replacing romname with MARIOKART64 nothing happened, but when i typed the full rom name with the .z64 extension at the end, it worked.
