Project64 2.1.0.1 Hi- Res textures Instaling Tutorial

spent a long time doing this figured id post my findings and settings to help any1 else that needs this info:

Benifits of 2.1.0.1?
its a damn sight faster than any other n64 emulator with hi res stuff, and works with glide64 the best
if you don't care about hi res stuff try 1964, i found it to be really fast and easy to use

Setting up:
First get a copy of project 64 2.1
http://www.pj64-emu.com/
then download Glide64 FINAL 8 2012 version
http://www.emutalk.net/threads/54874-Glide64-Final
Unzip glide 64 into plugin/GFX
Go into the wrapper folder and cut and
paste glide3x.dll into the main project 64 folder the one with the project 64.exe file in

your plugins can be changed via the settings option in pj64, directories is also in there u will need to modify both
directories usually starts pointing to the save folder.. i dont know why lol

also audio should nearly always be set to sync to game

some games require having the 8mb option checked in the settings rom settings tab, these are mostly games with an expansion pack
also some games require you to config your controller settings so it has a memory pack (to save) i use jabo direct 7.1.6 i suggest you do the same


Where to place textures?
Project64 2.1/plugin/GFX/hires_texture/your rom name
u must create the hires_texture folder in GFX name it exactly that

The _is very important as is not having an s on the end of texture

or

Project64 2.1/plugin/GFX/cache
if you have no cache folder create it it should be called cache and go in the GFX folder

these folders depend on the file you downloaded if it's a full pack the first one, if its two .DAT files the second

Texture packs
IMPORTANT!! the following two files may be needed to patch your project 64.exe
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attach...zip.34392/
http://www.ntcore.com/files/4gb_patch.zip
this is because some of the files are over 2 gig. These two programs allow project64 to process a large amount of data
i had to use one to get djipi/bluedart majora's mask to work. i suggest applying both

MUST BE EU ROM VERSION!

set directory as papermario

copy the first 2 examples of directory settings if i say set to that game im on about the first 1 if i say cache the second
let me know how u get on people.. this shit is frustrating but totally worth it. glad iv done it, u wont have to long as u follow my instructions
bare in mind glide64 won't work with really old gfx cards so if u follow my instructions and it isn't its probably your card or your direct X or ur drivers..
my specs are

Windows 7 home premium
service pack 1
intel® core™2 Quad Cpu
Q6600 @2.40GHZ
4.00 GB
64 BIT operating system

AMD Radeon R7 200 series
AMD High definition audio device
Realtek High definition audio device

and all work for me



if u know it isn't get in touch and ill try to help
another thing that apparently can be done (i couldn't get it to work) is copying .DAT files from 1964 emulator or project 64 1.6 into the cache folder

DO NOT: ask me for roms.. google is your friend
ANY1 THAT WORKS OUT PAPER MARIO'S OPTIMUM SETTINGS LET ME KNOW SAME GOES FOR FIXING SHADOW MANS LAG
