Applying textures to VC games

[Lord Puff]

I own several N64 titles on my Wii that I purchased through the Virtual Console, and since I dumped my NAND those games are available and playable in Dolphin. Something I've noticed though, is that when I run the games from the system menu in dolphin, HD textures don't get applied (I tried with Pokemon Snap and Mario 64). To test the issue, I packed Snap into a wad and tried running it directly from the Dolphin GUI and the textures were applied. I'd like to not have to keep WADs files of games I already have in the system storage, so is there any way to get the HD textures to load when running N64 games from the system menu?

It's likely loading them from another folder. Dump some textures when launching via system menu and via wad, and compare that to the folder it loads the textures from now.

If you name the texture folder 00000000 instead of the proper game ID, it should work when launched from the System Menu.

I tried the 00000000 method and that didn't work. Are you sure it's eight zeroes? Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow and I'll try mimimi's idea.
