Actually, I think Hi-Res textures would be the most logical. Just look how many games are being retextured with hi-res textures. |

'Cause let me tell you, there are some textures in Mario 64 and others that could definitely use some modernizing...
Of course it is! Check out what they did to Link's house in OoT on this page, then explore the thread for loads more awesome changes to how OoT looks, THEN explore that entire forum for changes to other games! Nifty indeed.

That's because textures are only used for Mario's eyes, the M on his hat, sideburns, mustache, and buttons. Nothing else on Mario uses textures. It doesn't look very possible to add more textures to him without heavily hacking the ROM. |

Alrighty, I just found this plugin for 1064 and PJ64, etc, called Rice's Video Plugin. It lets you dump the textures in a game, and then you can modify them as you want, put them in a special folder and the emulator will load them instead.
Does anybody have any experience with this? I've tried out the Faux-Cel-Shaded Mario 64, but I'm wondering if I could edit the textures of Mario himself. The inner geek in me wants to dress him up like Solid Snake frankly. After dumping textures I can see his eyes, and the "M" of his hat, but nothing's labeled as easily as "This is Mario's Pants." |
