Super Mario Sunshine

[razius]

Super Mario Sunshine (US version only - GMSE01)

Configuration

• Required Dolphin Version: 3.0-645 and above. Using an older version will not load all the textures since this is the first build to support a texture size greater than 2048x2048 and also custom mipmaps.
  
• Do not enable "Fast Mipmaps" in Graphics->Hacks->Other.
  
• I recommend using at least 4x internal resolution and cranking up the AA, otherwise the downsized HUD will appear a bit sharp.
  

About

• Textures size
  The HUD is 8 times the original size.
  The big in-game textures are enhanced 8 times, while the smaller ones are enhanced between 8 and 32 times.

• Useful links
  Super Mario Sunshine HD debugging thread (Dolphin Forum)
  Free file renamer (extreeeeeemely easy to use) so you can convert this version to the European one (if there's something wrong about me linking this, i'm sure a mod can delete this line)

Hmmm wait, what textures are failing to load??, if you can give me the names of the textures, if I ever have spare time I might be able to look into this problem for you.

I remember reading about this glitch a few months back in this thread, post 13, but i miss understood (AaronLite solved the issue by disabling native mipmaps but i thought he disabled fast mipmaps, my bad).

However, using fast mipmaps causes some glitch in the water appearance, same as using AA. Tthis topic was discussed in a thread at Dolphin forum but no solution was found, other than not using AA or fast mipmaps. This means if you want your textures to load properly you'll have to get used to the water having some... foam

I don't have much spare time but i'll retexture more than the HUD in this case. Though Dolphin only supports 2040x2048 i'll try to do most textures at 4096x4096.

Hmm, would you mind linking me to this dolphin-emu forum topic your talking about?? ANd also you screenshots arent showing up for me so im unable to see whats going wrong.. etc..
From the sounds of it, the game is wanting a already pre-mip-mapped texture when your only providing it with a singular texture. (Reading Aaronlites post)

That's weird because the pictures show up fine for me... it may have something to do with the fact that i remove the attachments from the message after adding them (so they won't appear in the "Attached Files" box as well, as small Thumbnails) but the link is still valid.
Here's the gallery just in case they won't appear in this post either.


This is the topic at Dolphin.

Ahhh that might be the problem, removing the attachments after making the post.

Sorry to be a hassle, but could you provide me the original dumped texture, and your replacement texture for one of the textures that are bugging out, I'm going to test it out sometime soon but I'm feeling ab it to lazy to dump it myself XD

[razius]

This is the first update.
I finally managed to do the nozzle icons, and the texture for the nozzle boxes. I also remade the X button. The first X button design is in this update as well so all you have to do is extract the archive and replace everything in the original.

Since the icons are 8 times the originals, i recommend using the greatest Anti Aliasing and internal resolution value possible (4x native resolution is the greatest available in the latest Dolphin builds).


Enjoy it!

Ill just wait for your version!

Cool project anyway! Wish you all the best and look forward to the progress,
which I will follow!

-pokey flowers
-floating leaf on the lake
-save block texture for "COPY DATA"

Testing:
-a modified version of the grass texture from sm64 (that's mainly 90% the smg grass texture... i will try a remake at a higher resolution or a mere enhancement with some more abstract shapes).
