Ok, so I really enjoy re-texturing n64 games and bringing them back to life again. I think that everyone with artistic skills or someone in the learning should give it a try.
When we retexture a game, we are replacing the original texture (graphics of a game) with new ones. When a texture is replaced, we call it re-textured.
Here's what you will need:
*N64 emulator, only project 64 or 1964 will work.
http://emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/
*A n64 rom that you will retexture. note that not all games are compatible with the emulator.
(sorry I cant provide you with a source for roms or illegal copyrighted materials)
*The correct plugins for your emulator.
You will need ricevideo plugin (I will explain it later)
http://www.filefactory.com/file/acf59e/
*An image editor. I use Adobe Photoshop, but you can use other things. If you want something free, then I recommend Gimp http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
*Last thing you will need is common sense.
Lets get started.
1. Pick an emulator. I use project 64.
2. You need to put the proper plugins. When you have the plugins, put the file "RiceVideo.dll" in the emulators plugin folder. (am I getting confusing?)
The emulator's plugin folder is located like this program files>project64.16>plugins
When you download the plugin, it should also come
with a file named "BMGLib.dll". Put that in the emulators directory folder
program files>project64.16.
3. Configuring your plugins for project 64.
Open up pj64. Go to options then setting.
Were it says "Video graphics] plugin" you should be able to change it to Rice's Video plugin" if you put the materials in the correct places.
Now still in the settings, go to the options tab and make sure "Hide advance settings" is not checked.
When everything is done correctly, click ok.
No go to options and open up "configure graphics plugin". Click on the "texture filter" tab. Then put a check mark on "Load Hi-res textures if available".
Close the emulator and open it again.
Congratulations, if you have successfully opened the emulator without any errors, then your emulator is configured and ready to go.
If you do have errors, post them and I will try to help you. Also try looking back and make sure that you did not miss anything.

Dumping and replacing textures tutorial comming soon.

New from SuccessHK
In Disney/Pixar's animated adventure, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Fans will be able to relive some of the film's most thrilling moments and experience the sights, sounds and most importantly, the smells, of Paris a la Remy in this game based on the movie.

What's better than experiencing the bowel-shaking, wall-rumbling, thunderous bass of a custom made subwoofer? Why, having that bass emanate from perfect replicas of the "question mark" and brick blocks from Super Mario Brothers, (thus making it the perfect thing to play back your recordings of the SMB Tesla coil), of course. According to the owner, the subs sound great, but the low-end gets a little muddy whenever the question mark gets turned into a metal plate.

News from the official site:
I'm planning to release the current version of my Forth (2.0) as a frequently-updated, no-cost beta during August and September. Here is what the pricing scheme will be for the commercial release, which should be in September or November. There will be 3 options for sale:
1. Download binary (256MB image) and .pdf manual - $30
2. Printed manual - $50
3. Mini DVD-R, includes option 1. For people with modded Gamecube's. - $50
A closed demonstration program is planned. I'll put a video online, for people who aren't set up to run GC programs. I originally thought I would make a game and that would be my demonstration but I decided that I'd rather concentrate on making a good game without having to worry it being a good "demonstration" too.
The manual will feature entertaining paragraphs, well-organized diagrams, and reference tables. I'm just mentioning that to prepare people who would be expecting the current popular documentation format which sadly consists of endless step-by-step instructions and obvious yet pretensiously-technical-sounding explanations. (Drivel like "The Position Field lets you modify the current object's Position property." We won't be having any of that here.)
About 6 months after 2.0, 3.0 should be released. 3.0 is going to be a faster, more forgiving, tighter, cleaner, meta-compiling version of 2.0. I have plans to write a seperate Forth that will tap into the 3D and DSP power of the Gamecube and hopefully the Wii. And another for the Windows platform.
The selling points of my programming language are its simplicity and its custom-tailoredness.
