If you replaced the OoT rom with the hacked rom?

 

it might be possible, we have ocarina a homebrew app thats an action replay of sorts, if someone could make an app to load the textures then the game like emulators do then it would work, would require some work tho

 

It'll be easy to inject a texture hacked rom into a vc title, I've done it with a hacked mario 64. I tried with OoT however and it didn't work (I think there is some filesize limitation; 64 mb I think? something to do with ram. don't hold me to anything though!)

 

You must have misunderstood me, teq. I'm not saying I tried using mario textures with OoT. I downloaded and applied the hi-res cel shaded texture pack for OoT and injected the modified rom into the OoT vc release. (and it didn't work for me)

 

On the fly? I thought the video plugin permanently patched them into the rom after running it. (I suppose not?) Which leads me to the question of why it did did not work if I just swapped in the same rom. Oh well.

 

Wow... I didn't think this would turn into a huge discussion... thought I'd get a ton of flames, and have the thread closed...

I know that most "texture hacks" are done though a plugin, but was hoping there was a way to actually patch a ROM to include these textures.

If it can't be done, that's cool, but I was really hoping, lol

As for the Mario 64 textures in VC, how would I go about that?

 

I don't think we'll see a Project64 port to the wii. The last private build to paying subscribers was years ago.

That said, no Hi-rez OoT mod on the wii for a while.

 

You could've done something wrong, or had a bad dump of the game :/

The texture packs are loaded in for the emulator, not the game. Instead of loading the game's textures and displaying the, those textures you downloaded are imposed over "virtually" through the plug-in. The bad thing about this, is that those textures are usually faaaaar larger than the N64 would like. Luckily the N64 can't complain. Unluckily, the user has to deal with tons of individual textures and the absurd file sizes

 

External Textures on the Wii would be cool, but I don't think that the Wii has enough power for this->Master Quest runs just at fullspeed + the textures = laggy-.-

But I'm happy to see my Super Mario 64(2) Hack running on Wiis

That was talking about modded games... such as SNES and NES...

I'm talking about something COMPLETELY different! Getting texture files to work on the Wii, not getting Zelda Parallel Worlds on my Wii (which, btw, I already have in channel form!)
