Okay here we go:
VERY important ! I use the configs form the Master himselfe

1. DL the nightly build here:
http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/switch/libnx/
You NEED the one from 14.01.2019 (yes that IS the right format to write a date!)
NOT the one from 13.01.2019 or the one from 15.01.2019! ONLY TESTET with the one from 14.01.2019!
2. Then DL those textures:
https://emulationking.com/djipis-2016-cellshade-oot/
https://emulationking.com/djipis-2016-celda-majoras-mask-texture-pack/
3. The names have to be:
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA_HIRESTEXTURES.htc
and
ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK_HIRESTEXTURES.htc
NOTHING ELSE!!! THAT IS IMPORTANT!!!
4. Now put them into:
\retroarch\
cores\system\mupen64plus\cache\
"cores" was missing Thanks to
@magelof
THATS on the "root" of your SD card from the Switch!
If there is no "cache" folder ..... make on!
(One at a time not more than one! You have to decide what you want to play)
5. Now the last part:
You NEED to use this How To:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/use-atmosphere-to-access-full-ram-with-homebrews-without-nsp.521240/
Otherwise you will have RAM problems by loading RetroArch from the HB menu!
When RetroArch is running:
Start up Zelda (not important which one first! Remeber what *.htc you put into the "cache" folder!) and let it load ....... be patient!
Let it load!
Can you see the intro? Let it RUN! Patient! Now (IF you use the configs from m4xw) press booth sticks and you are in the menu.
Now look for the "Options" menu and press A
(We are ALMOST there!)
Look for "Use High-Res textures" and "Use High-Res Full Alpha Channel" and set both to TRUE
(We are ALMOST there)
Now get back with B and click A on "Close Content".
(We are ALLMOST there!)
Now load the Zelda game again ..... Looks better now does it
I hope it works for you it does for me and i'am happy with it!
P.S THANKS to all the BIG and little helpers who made the "Emulation" on th Switch possible! (From Hacking stuff to the Homebrew Dev's! You are the heroes of the Switch scene
)
A last word of advice:
If you use the configs from m4xw take a look at the CPU overclock and set it to 1581MHZ it is enough i think.
You don't need the 1785MHZ ...... even if there will be no harm to your Switch! (It's a personal meaning .... so don't bite me ..... or yeah "Bit Me"
)
