Specific System Information

Custom textures

The libretro:mesen core allows to load custom texture packs.

To do so you need to place the custom texture pack in the \bios\HdPacks folder in a dedicated directory that has the same name than the game file, for example if your game name is Mega Man (USA).nes, the texture pack folder must be named Mega Man (USA)

It is very important that the sha1 hash of your game file matches the sha1 located in the "hires.txt" file from the texture pack folder:

Then, select the Libretro: mesen emulator for the game or the system:

Next you need to enable the Custom Textures options in the Advanced Settings > Visual Rendering section of the Game Options or Advanced Systems Options:
