I have the brand newest version of Dolphin - so I can specifically try this feature - but I'm having a fair bit of confusion as to the best way to go about it.

I download the texture packs (Xenoblade Chronicles, Xelda 64 HD, Super Mario Galaxy 1, etc.) and all of their installation tells me to put the textures in C:\users\Documents\Dolphin\Load\Textures or whatever. However, in this version of Dolphin, I can click 'Resource Pack Manager' and that's a completely different directory (and you put .zip files there only?).

Can someone please help clarify the best way for me to install these texture packs? When I saw I could scale up OoT and Majora's Mask, I knew I had to delve into this side of things, but so far, I'm stumped.

Thank you in advance.

So the Resource Packs are just custom texture packs but in a way that's easy to install and manage within Dolphin. They work the exact same way and there is no real difference, it's just a more convenient option that custom texture creators can support if they choose to. We talked about the feature in the Dec 2018 Progress Report, check it out if you want a more thorough explanation!

As for what you should do, there's nothing worry about! Just follow the instructions that the texture pack creator provided, and that will be the best way to install them.

I see. So they have to bundle it as a Resource Pack for it to work with that - that makes sense. I suppose for the time being, most everything I'm installing is going in as a Texture Pack: Load >>> Textures option.
