I wish. Really. Both are great plugins but RV is what I have been working with on over 3000 textures for various games. ~98% of which are for Castlevania LOD and the others for Turok 1, Majora's Mask and F-Zero.
In any case to answer your question...no...I am not having trouble loading textures. I know some textures will not load in Glide64 because I dumped them with RV without TMEM emulation "on" and I would have to go back through the entire game (~7 times for all the characters, story lines and conditional events.
What I mean is Glide64's smoothing filter is not as good causing more pixelization in the text and textures, the text has lines under the text, the colors are a little brighter (my colors for CLOD are very specific to the mood), and it seems to have lower color depth causing color banding, among other errors like in .all textures that make up the main logo on the "Start Screen". All making it look far worse when using Glide.
If all of these things are being worked on for Glide and it can look as good as RV then I would spend the hundreds or even thousands of hours to go back through CLOD again to make it fully compatible with Glide...but of course I do not want to...you know?!
Here are some pics for examples of the difference. Glide pics are first:
The pixilation and color banding are easily avoidable by changing Glide64's options. In the "Texture enhancement" tab, select and tick the following;
---Texture enhancement---
*Filter : as you wish
*Enhancement : as you wish
*Texture cache : at least 128 Mbytes
*Ignore backgrounds
*Compress memory used for texture cache
---Hi-resolution textures---
*Format : Rice format
*Alternative CRC calculation
*Compress memory used for texture cache
*Use alpha channel fully
---Common---
*Texture compression : none
*Save texture cache to harddisk
Those options will give you the best texture quality. Note that the "Texture enhancement" options will have no effect on textures of the hi-res texture packs. Besure you are using the latest GlideHQ.dll found at

The pixilation and banding sometimes seen is mostly a result of using the "Apply texture compression" option. It is not due to any kind of smoothing filter. Glide64 will compress textures to S3TC or FXT1 format with this option ON. It will reduce the texture size to 1/2 to 1/8 at a little compromise of quality and boost performance on a wide range of GFX cards. Quality loss will be negligible for large textures, but will be resident for simple small textures such as those used in the original N64 roms. Therefore, if you are not using x2, hqx4, and etc "size enhancers", unticking the "Apply texture compression" option in the "Texture enhancement" section will resolve pixilation and errors seen in your screenshots including the main logo on the "Start Screen", since those textures are the N64 originals'. They are too small to recieve the benefit of texture compression anyway. OTOH, for large textures, like the ones you have created for your superb CLOD texture pack, using texture compression will be beneficial because the quality difference will be hard to perceive. And especially when the game is in action.
There are a few ways to keep perfect quality with texture compression;
1) design a smarter texture compression engine
2) design a texture pack with noncompressed textures with postcompression in mind
3) design a texture pack with precompressed and noncompressed textures mixed together and use it as is
The latter two are pratical solutions, and often done in commercial games. You really cannot beat the texture artists' hand optimizations. IMO, 3) is the best solution, but RiceVideo Hi-res Texture Format needs to be extended in order to support it.
Anyway, you should be aware that the RiceVideo plugin and Glide64 plugin will not always produce the exact same texture colors, because they use different color quantizing schemes, regardless of texture compression. The difference will be unnoticeable unless compared side by side. Glide64 in particular uses a special designed quantizer that allows texture artists to use 32bpp full colors with their textures but with reduced texture footprint.
For best performance with Glide64, see recommended settings at

Those settings will serve well for most people, but with a minor loss in quality due to texture compression (it only compresses the hi-res texture pack).
I hope this clears some things up.

Nooooo...please no! Don't say it's so.
