Hello I am pleased to announce the initial release of Super Mario Galaxy 2 HD textures.  This release consists mostly of fonts particles interface, icons and characters.  More environmental textures to come.

[color=#006400]3.Setup and Usage[/color]



To use the mod you must use a version of Dolphin that supports the new texture format.  The resolution of the textures:  Most are 2048x2048 and 1024x1024, however the font and hud elements and some backgrounds get as large as 4096x4096.  These large sizes will keep this mod looking good into the 4K monitor era.

To use place all of the subfolders in your game folder directory in the load folder example: "C:\Users\Christopher\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures\SB4E01"   The "SB4E01" may be different depending on your games localization so make sure to check this if the mod doesn't appear to be loading.

Contributions by Razius:
Fonts, UI, icons, particles and more.

Contributions by CDAMJC include:
-Wii mote wrist strap loading screen
-Mario Galaxy Logo when starting the game and at end credits
-More characters (all Mario suits excluding the boo suit which is to come, Luigi, Toad, and more to come) and enemies re-textured.
-Gradients on the horizon now smooth and no more "stair case effect".
-Mario suit seam on back fixed
-Environment textures and item textures etc...
More to come...


I hope you enjoy the mod, please feel free to leave feedback and suggestions etc...

Hi, would anyone know if these files have been posted elsewhere? The links for these dont work anymore :/

I usually end up linking this every couple of posts. They are the most up-to-date packs I believe as I was the last one to work on them (or at least this iteration). It would be nice if they can be added to the first post, but I don't know if CDAMJC will ever return.

I am so glad that you have still stuck around the years to still support this massive project. In a few weeks I will be playing Super Mario Galaxy in 4K when my new computer comes in. This is one of the first things I will be downloading: your texture packs. You have no idea how thrilled I was to find your profile, your post here, and the still valid links to your mediafire and the whole complete texture packs.

The only qualms that I may have is that some textures may be missing and still in its original state, but honestly, after reading countless of threads and posts since 2015, I'm quite sure that more than 99% of the textures will look satisfying enough to a casual gamer like me.

I have literally made an account in the past 5 minutes just to praise you. I know that I'm just a normal person in the world, but just know that you have made someone extremely happy and that he will sleep easier from now on knowing he fulfilled his childhood dream of playing the best game in the world.

Thank you again, and stay safe in the world! Best wishes to you and your invaluable work to the Super Mario Galaxy community. Thank you thank you again!

Thank you! I have added the links to the main post. Thank you for all of the support here on the site and with this mod. I am so swamped with real life I appreciate you keeping things alive and up to date.

Thank you again!

I have very much the same issue / question. I copied the zip and installed the pack via the resource pack manager, but at least wii mote screen, title screen and HUD are still the same. I'm also new to Dolphin, so I probably just miss something here.

Edit: I have updated this post with more information. It should hopefully be a good resource for users who do not know much about texture packs.

Make sure they are "installed", they will be lit up green.

Also check that you have increased the resolution. You must also open the graphics window, go to the enhancements tab, and bump the the internal resolution to something beyond 1x native. Now on the graphics advanced tab, make sure to check "Load Custom Textures".

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

Super Mario Galaxy games require "Arbitrary Mipmap Detection" so also make sure that is checked.

Both the standard packs and the resource pack is using various types of DDS images. You only need to use one of the packs: manually install a standard pack, or use the resource pack manager for resource pack. If given a choice, always opt for a DDS pack over a PNG pack. While PNG packs work, they have more of a tendency to cause stutter, and I upload and share them for archival purposes as there is no quality loss. Any resource packs I upload will always use DDS images.

Thank you very much.
For me, it was simply not realizing the 'Load Custom Textures' checkbox was unticked.
This solved my issue.

Great work as always. I have a question. What is the difference between the full packs and the 2160p packs? I see .6GB more data, but was just wondering for more detail for the SMG1 pack. Is it really worth offering two packs for this?

And is your arbitrary water fix supposed to be put into another folder for SMG? I do have to merge your Bighead folder correct? Sorry, it been a while, and I was redoing these packs. Glad you worked on them though, they needed some polish.
