@GamingPhailer - Yes, you got it right. By "above pack" I meant the other pack (areamaps + environments) in the post. I'm glad everything looks like it's working. I'll be waiting to see if you're able to run the core pack + DDS area maps and environments without the DDS hair_faces. I'm assuming that having faces as DDS shouldn't matter.
@degasus - I'm for loading at startup. Waiting a bit for a lag free experience would be worth the trade off in my opinion. Echoes mentions the drawback that first comes to my mind and a couple solutions. It wouldn't be hard to run a different Dolphin for creating/testing new textures, or just have it use a different folder using the 'portable' thing.
