Fast update from v1.3 to v1.4:
Delete folder "Fonts" from "Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures\SF8".
And copy the new one from v1.4 pack.
[color=#993333]4. How to use[/color]
Installation:
You need to use a version of Dolphin that supports the new PNG texture format.
To extract the 7z, you will need one of the latest 7Zip that supports LZMA2.
The pack supports PAL, NTSC rev0 and NTSC rev1.
Before playing you need to check the modular Guide inside "SF8_Modular_textures".
Otherwise you will have half the experience.
Copy SF8 folder to "Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures.
Then follow the guide inside "SF8_Modular_textures" folder.
Or you can read it here:
The internal resolution suggested is 3x Native.
Prefetching textures:
You can use Prefetch Custom Textures (load all on startup).
This will make the loading of textures instant when needed without any stuttering.
It will use 1.6GB additional RAM.
You can delete "Gallery_All_Regions/Gallery_PAL/NTSC" and "Credits_Gallery" to reduce RAM usage by -570MB when prefetching.
Controllers:
The controls textures are for all Wii/PS/Xbox controllers.
Check the folder "SF8_Modular_textures" for the modular guide on how to choose.
Proposed mapping:
Included you can also find a profile optimized for Xbox controllers (combine it with Xbox-Type-A textures).
Throw DKCR.ini from the archive inside Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Config\Profiles\Wiimote
And use these lines in DKCR's user config ini to auto load the profile:
