Having trouble loading Hi-Res textures.

I'd like to point out that Dolphin/user/textures is not the location to put things anymore. The global user directory means your "user folder" is now in My Documents. That "Dolphin Emulator" folder is where textures should go. For example: C:\Users\[your username]\My Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures\[GameID]\. The only way to make the old location work is to use portable.txt, which sucks.

Not going to happen. There was one stable release - 4.0. But then a critical error was found, and even though Dolphin had progressed beyond 4.0, the devs went back and fixed that bug in 4.0. Then another another critical error was found, and even though Dolphin had progressed even MORE beyond 4.0, they went back and fixed the bug. 4.0.2 is just 4.0 with bug fixes. The latest development version, where Dolphin actually is in it's progression, is (as of this writing) 4.0-1977. Soon (very soon) there is going to be a new stable - 4.5.

If it is not working in the latest dev version it's probably because you are doing something wrong. The global user directory means that 4.0.2 and 4.0-1977 should share everything, including custom textures. And there hasn't been any serious reworking to textures that could break them (yet).
