"WELCOME TO WARIO WORLD!!! WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"


Hello everyone, today I finally unveil a project I've been working on since the beginning of the new year. Wario World HD, now available for your viewing and downloading pleasures! I have a trailer prepared showcasing it along with many screenshots below. I remade upwards of 200 textures by hand and swapped out some others for more natural feeling ones. Everything I did not recreate I ran through waifu2x-caffe and increased by 8 times the original size. To see the textures at their best, I highly suggest playing at 8 times the internal Resolution for the full effect! I then went in and did manual touch-ups for all the enemies and many other textures. Over the past few months I was replaying a lot of my childhood favorite GameCube games and using the wonderful HD texture packs that people have created here in this community and Wario World is one of my favorite games so I was bummed no one created a pack for it... So I literally went through the gauntlet of learning about all this stuff just so I could have what I wanted, gotta do things yourself sometimes! Overall I'm happy with how this turned out, I wish I could do something like the Mario Sunshine pack that really makes everything gorgeous but I am one guy and that's where I hope and encourage others to do their own packs or help me with this one if there's something you don't like! A big thank you to the community and Bighead and his texture tool and all the helpful information he's shared that helped me create this pack.

Install Guide
1.) Download from the provided links below.
2.) Extract the folder and rename or keep the name as 'GWW' and place it in the following diectory: Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Load/Textures/(Place within textures)
3.) Configure your settings for maximum enjoyment in the enhancements tab within the 'Graphics' tab of Dolphin and make sure to turn on 'Load Custom Textures' in the Advanced tab within Graphics, turn on Prefetch custom textures as well to stop stuttering. It stores the textures to your RAM, the PNG pack requires you to have 16 GB and the DDS pack requires you have 8 GB.
Download (v1.1)
I have made a regular PNG download and a BC7 DDS download available. The PNG pack has no loss in quality but has more files/a slightly larger download size and can cause stuttering, make sure you select Prefetch Custom Textures in the advanced tab of the Graphics section in Dolphin no matter which pack you are using as it helps with performance so long as you have the required RAM.
Let me know if you find any problems and bugs by replying in this thread or by PM'ing me directly! Changelog is included within the pack as a read me text document.
If you feel inclined to support this pack and my future ones (I have plans for more and have already started!) then you can go ahead and line Wario's pockets even more here! paypal.me/thiccbro
