Having trouble find a completed Paper Mario 64 texture packet?

[groovydingo]

Hi, sorry if this has been posted before , but I've been having trouble finding a completed Paper Mario 64 HD texture packet. I'm new here and I've tried using the search functions for the site, but didn't really come across the answer I was looking for. I'm using the Project 64 emulator. If anyone can answer this or send me a link to a good HD texture packet for Paper Mario 64 I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! And sorry again if I posted in the wrong spot or if this has been posted before.

Currently we do not yet have a completed pack for this game.
The-new-and-improved-Paper-Mario-project is the largest pack that I'm aware of however it has been in a state of rest for some time.
Download Here.

ahhh bummer. But thanks for the link, I appreciate it! I guess I'll check this one out. One last question though. As for plugging in texture packets do I go to settings then change the "video graphics plugin" to what I downloaded? Or is that not the correct way to use it?

You will find all the information within this Tutorial.

Ok last question....maybe. So the first time I ran it my computer froze. Then I realized it might be because I forgot to download Glider 64. So I downloaded that and it didn't freeze this time. But I'm not sure if I put in the texture correctly because it didn't show the "loading textures" screen when I loaded up the game and I also didn't see the "texture enhancement" settings in my options menu. I'm using Project 64 so maybe that's why. There was a check box that says "use texture filter" so I clicked that box. Did I make a mistake?

Configure the plugin to allow you to see the texture enhancement options.

ahhh ok. yea I see what's wrong. The Glide 64 plugin doesn't show up in my Project 64 settings when I try to change video plugin. Do you know how I can fix that?

Tried to take a screenshot of the issue, but I guess it keeps getting denied.

So I figured out the problem. Now all I have to do is fix how to get rid the squares that appear behind the text and characters.

Inside the Glide64 folder that you should have already downloaded there is a folder called Wrapper and inside a file called glide3x.dll
Place this file into the main directory of your emulator (PJ64).

I did this. But when I play the game there are grey squares around the text in the game and around the characters.

What setting are you using?

 

[groovydingo]

The same setting as the ones in the pictures for the tutorial. The texture actually shows up as well when I don't use Glide64 with less texture issues, but there are still some. Also a box pops up when I open the game saying "failed to open Flashram", but even though it pops up game still runs. Also I've been trying to record my playthrough but when I open my recording device I get this issue.

"Texture -> Map Failed: 0x887a0005 0x887a007 , Your video card or driver froze and was reset. Please check for possible hardware/driver issues. This error can also occur if you have enabled opencl in x264 custom settings."

Sorry with all my questions today, I'm not tech-savvy enough to figure it out on my own haha, but I do appreciate you responding to me so quickly.

What do you have for a GPU? Update your drivers.

AMD Athlon(tm) 11 X4 630 Processor 2.80GHz

Are you using PJ64 1.6 or 2.0?

 

[groovydingo]

1.6. Wasn't aware there was a 2.0 cause the site I got it at only went up to 1.6.

 

[NES_player4LIFE]

Please re-download Project 64 1.6

 

[Fanatic 64]

There's a 2.1 too.

So even after installing the version you gave me I still came across the same errors. =(
