Modder ‘AndratVA’ has shared the final trailer for Mario Kart 64 HD, an incredible HD Texture Pack for the classic Nintendo 64 Mario Kart game. And, as the title suggests, PC gamers can use Nintendo 64 emulators in order to enjoy a truly HD Remaster of this game.
Going into more details, Mario Kart 64 HD features a lot of high-resolution textures for all objects. Additionally, it updates the sprites of all characters, making them look similar to the early CG renders.
The end result is a faithful HD remaster of this classic kart racing game. And, since this is a Texture Pack/Mod, Nintendo won’t be able to shut it down.
You can download Mario Kart 64 HD from here. Naturally, you’ll also need the ROM of the N64 game, as well as a Nintendo 64 emulator.
Have fun!

Fantastico!
Has anybody got this working? I’ve installed the recommended iteration of the emulator plus the textures pack and enabled high res textures in the emulator settings… and yet nothing! The game still displays the original assets, not the high res textures, regardless of whether I toggle high res textures.
I got it working on PJ64 3.0 using gliden64, I patched the project64.exe with the 4gb patch and it worked perfectly fine. Only downside is the time it took to cache all the textures on the first launch (around 10 minutes on a nvme ssd). played the four cups back to back without a single crash
Thanks for the response. It seems remarkable to me that somebody can spend countless hours making such a mod and then not spend a couple of minutes typing instructions on how to install it. They’ve evidently used some unstated settings in the recommended emulator and yet didn’t think to mention them. Sigh…

wow
When you pick Donkey Kong in this game, he says “Yabellagoo!”
Played this on the dolphin emulator. Wish I knew how to patch in 60fps.
Dolphin doesn’t run N64 games.
It does through virtual console.
I mean… yeah, technically. But what a waste of resources to run an emulator on an emulator!
Just watched the trailer, this looks really good, it’s obvious you guys put a lot of effort into this
