High Resolution Guide and Texture Pack Mirrors

[deweyhewson]

Hey all,

I've written up a guide on using texture packs, making use of the Glide64 plugin, and including video and screenshot comparisons at SavvyGeek:
http://savvygeek.com/2008/07/07/nintendo-64-games-in-high-resolution-glory/

As part of the guide, I have posted downloads of texture packs for The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64, and Super Smash Brothers.

I am considering creating a section of the site to host texture packs, as well as provide guides on how to use them if anybody is interested in that. Hopefully that would allow us to stop using MegaUpload, Rapidshare, etc. for hosting.

Thoughts?

I think personally, this is awesome. We need more mirrors, and decent ones at that. As for the guide, its quite neat.

I always thought people should submit their projects to modDB.com under "mods" for the N64, get a little organized. On these forums there are no "readme.txt" distributed with releases, no version numbers, no websites, downloads and updates are mixed in with the the posts instead of being edited into the original first post, downloads hosted on public upload sites that end up being deleted after a couple of months... trying to keep track of what's going on is absolute hell, the lack of revision/version numbers particularly.

I include a Readme.txt with every release of my pack AND I include an updated download in my original post (along with updated pictures that I still quitely update to this day)


Too bad my pack gets ignored these days...

Thumbs up. Anything that gets this texture pack cultre organized deserves a award and an Oreo.
