You do know GOD RAYS in and outside caves don't appear when using internal resolution higher than native or using Anisotropic filtering? Big issue for me as I refuse to play in 480p on my 4K screen. I tried all GPU-Backends and they all have the issue. This issue is with Ishiiruka and not regular Dolphin. I'm using Ishiiruka [Stable] 777 (2d11f5fb1) and regular Dolphin 5.0 -10758. Regular Dolphin doesn't even have the bug! It's a shame stupid buggy Ishiiruka is needed to use Custom Material Maps, it's a shame that the developers haven't implemented Custom Material Maps in regular Dolphin yet. You won't believe the threads I started with Ishiiruka issues since I decided to start using your Pikmin 1 and 2 texture pack.

Most of all my biggest issue with Ishiiruka is it using the same exact configs as regular Dolphin.

The download link for this seems to be returning a 503 error again - does anyone have a copy they could upload to Google Drive please?

Here you go https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hzxi__cpl3bjd-uiL_UOvqfwaOcslQkB?usp=sharing.
A little warning though, God Rays don't appear in Pikmin 2 when using a internal resolution higher than native and using anisotropic filtering. Also, the GPU render for Ishiiruka will most likely crash on you when using alt+tab, or alt+enter out of the game.

How do I add the 60 fps patch correctly?

Cheers!

You must apply it as an Action Replay code!

1.3.0 (2020-08-26) Changelog:

• [color=#241e12]This update includes new 4K versions of all the previously updated textures, includes nearly 200 new textures, and also updates some previous ones from the previous releases. New textures include primarily HUD and UI textures. Furthermore, the installation has been simplified and no longer requires almost any manual setup from the user at all on Windows. Simply click "Pikmin 4K.exe" and play![/color]
• [color=#241e12]Shaders have been added to provide new visual enhancements like Rim Lighting, Ambient Occlusion, Global Illumination, Tesselation, Material Maps, Depth of Field and much more. It truly makes the game look better than ever seen before! These shaders are enabled by default on Windows, no need to install them manually anymore![/color]
  

• [color=#241e12]There is now also a Resource Pack version of the texture pack which can easily be installed into regular Dolphin and works for MacOS and Linux users. The texture pack should also work on Android, however I've not tested it on Android myself yet.[/color]
• [color=#241e12]European / PAL support has been added as well! This includes some of the cheat codes and most visual enhancements. I'm working on support for the Japanese version as well however that's not quite ready yet.[/color]
• [color=#241e12]The texture pack now uses the DDS BC7 format by default, which dramatically improves load times and reduces file size without any loss in quality on any of the textures.[/color]
• [color=#241e12]The textures are now mip-mapped by default which reduces the ugly "flickering" of high resolution textures in the distance.[/color]
• [color=#241e12]Environment Maps have been added, which improves the realism of the lighting![/color]
• [color=#241e12]And if that's not enough; the texture pack now supports the Wii version "New Play Control" edition of Pikmin 2! Both the European and American versions are supported and natively supports the widescreen format (no need for hacks to get widescreen!) The 60 FPS patch is exclusive to the NTSC GameCube version, however.[/color]
