Castlevania 64: Concept art Carrie recolor + enhancements tips & 60 fps code

[ciro64]

For those who like playing as Carrie, I made a recolor texture pack that gives her vivid colors that matches her concept art!

Instructions for the Rosalie's Mupen GUI (RMG) emulator. It has an interface very similar to Project 64 but with an up-to-date mupen64plus as the backend.

Instructions

1. Download the texture pack attached in this post
2. Get the Castlevania (U) (V1.0) [!] rom
   (the texture pack might work in other versions but the 60 fps code will not)
3. Go to the hires_texture folder inside RMG folder
   In Windows, path is: %appdata%\RMG\Data\hires_texture
4. Extract CASTLEVANIA.zip inside that folder. Should be in this format: hires_texture/CASTLEVANIA/[texture files]
5. In the emulator, go to Settings -> Graphics -> Texture enhancement
6. Mark "Use Texture Pack" and "Use Full Transparencies"

60 fps code

I got this one from the now defunct PJ64 forums.

1. Go to System -> Cheats
2. Click Add
3. Enter a name (eg: 60 fps)
4. Paste this in the code section: 800A10C2 000D
5. Click Okay and close the cheat window

During the mandragora & nitro quest, attacking the biker skeletons at the first room might crash your game. I recommend using save states there for safety.

Other tweaks

In Video tab inside Graphics settings, you can enable VSync, native resolution, antialiasing and texture filtering.

Thanks!
When you replay a game 14 times over the span of 2 years small stuff like this really makes a difference. I was tired of the main character's washed colors. I like colorful stuff

That's true, like the GBA palette stuff. I really love when the colors actually pop
