Glide64mk2 hi res texture locations on osx

Where do I put .dat files for glide to open in osx? I've looked through the wiki and can't find anything so any advice would be appreciated.

Same problem here under Linux. I could not found any reliable information about how to set High Res Textures when using Glide64mk2.

Thanks for the reply but I already put *.dat files in the ~/.cache/mupen64plus/glidehq directory. I even try to put them in a sub-folder with the game name like "ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK".

Something should be wrong with my configuration then. Here is my Glide64mk2 config (~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg):
Code: 
[Video-Glide64mk2]

# Card ID
card_id = 0
# Vertical sync
vsync = False
# TODO:ssformat
ssformat = False
# Display performance stats (add together desired flags): 1=FPS counter, 2=VI/s counter, 4=% speed, 8=FPS transparent
show_fps = 0
# Clock enabled
clock = False
# Clock is 24-hour
clock_24_hr = False
# Wrapper resolution
wrpResolution = 0
# Wrapper VRAM
wrpVRAM = 0
# Wrapper FBO
wrpFBO = True
# Wrapper Anisotropic Filtering
wrpAnisotropic = False
# Texture Enhancement: Smooth/Sharpen Filters
ghq_fltr = 0
# Texture Compression: 0 for S3TC, 1 for FXT1
ghq_cmpr = 0
# Texture Enhancement: More filters
ghq_enht = 0
# Hi-res texture pack format (0 for none, 1 for Rice)
ghq_hirs = 1
# Compress texture cache with S3TC or FXT1
ghq_enht_cmpr = "S3TC"
# Tile textures (saves memory but could cause issues)
ghq_enht_tile = 0
# Force 16bpp textures (saves ram but lower quality)
ghq_enht_f16bpp = False
# Compress texture cache
ghq_enht_gz = True
# Don't enhance textures for backgrounds
ghq_enht_nobg = False
# Enable S3TC and FXT1 compression
ghq_hirs_cmpr = False
# Tile hi-res textures (saves memory but could cause issues)
ghq_hirs_tile = False
# Force 16bpp hi-res textures (saves ram but lower quality)
ghq_hirs_f16bpp = False
# Compress hi-res texture cache
ghq_hirs_gz = True
# Alternative CRC calculation -- emulates Rice bug
ghq_hirs_altcrc = True
# Save tex cache to disk
ghq_cache_save = True
# Texture Cache Size (MB)
ghq_cache_size = 128
# Use full alpha channel -- could cause issues for some tex packs
ghq_hirs_let_texartists_fly = True
# Dump textures
ghq_hirs_dump = False

Can't test right now but
Code: 
# Compress texture cache with S3TC or FXT1
ghq_enht_cmpr = "S3TC"
is def wrong and should be a boolean, set that to True (this simply confirms and applies the chosen compression in ghq_cmpr). And no console output that remotely tells something? Also which texture pack?

I set this as you tell me, but nothing happened:
Code: 
# Compress texture cache with S3TC or FXT1
ghq_enht_cmpr = True
# Enable S3TC and FXT1 compression
ghq_hirs_cmpr = True

Djippis packs require the full alpha channel and another setting I think. I'm not sure if mupen64plus.cfg overrides it, but you could try to set them in the glide64mk2.ini (not sure how it works in osx though).

Edit: I see the options are also in the .cfg file and set ok. So nevermind, ignore what I said.

I meant to test this yesterday but didn't get to it, oh well

Try putting the ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK.dat into the other folder ~/.local/share/mupen64plus (no subfolders) from what I've seen the .cache method only works if Glide64 is compiled with dump_textures enabled, which it isn't by default because dumping is broken, but this also leads to loading of a pack if it is already found there

In addition from poking around Djipi's thread, disable alt_crc and try to use a PAL rom, so that it can load all textures

EDIT: Tested now and extracting the pack as is (ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK_HIRESTEXTURES.dat) into ~/.cache/mupen64plus/glidehq worked as expected

EDIT2: Further testing shows that
Code: 
# Enable S3TC and FXT1 compression
ghq_hirs_cmpr = True
breaks this texture pack and prevents it from loading set that to false.

My settings for reference:
Code: 
[Video-Glide64mk2]

# Card ID
card_id = 0
# Vertical sync
vsync = False
# TODO:ssformat
ssformat = False
# Display performance stats (add together desired flags): 1=FPS counter, 2=VI/s counter, 4=% speed, 8=FPS transparent
show_fps = 2

# Texture Enhancement: Smooth/Sharpen Filters
ghq_fltr = 0
# Texture Compression: 0 for S3TC, 1 for FXT1
ghq_cmpr = 0
# Texture Enhancement: More filters
ghq_enht = 0
# Hi-res texture pack format (0 for none, 1 for Rice)
ghq_hirs = 1
# Compress texture cache with S3TC or FXT1
ghq_enht_cmpr = True
# Tile textures (saves memory but could cause issues)
ghq_enht_tile = 0
# Force 16bpp textures (saves ram but lower quality)
ghq_enht_f16bpp = False

Many thanks for all tests you have done!

However, after trying all your recommendations, using your config and so on... It is still not working to me.

What's your graphics card? maybe s3tc compression isn't working or something (even though that's supposed to have been replaced by a free s2tc compression), try installing
Code: 
libtxc-dxtn(-s2tc0)
or similar (shouldn't be necessary if you use propietary drivers, but may bee needed on OSS ones), can't give you the exact name as I don't know your distri

Thanks V1del!

Your config worked perfectly for loading latest Djipi 2011 textures for OoT. Saving .dat-files to ~/.cache/mupen64plus/glidehq and tweaking [Video-Glide64mk2] section of ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg did the job.

My setup:

Code: 
% uname -a
