CTCaer's Donkey Kong Country Returns Texture Pack

CTCaer reworked, redrew or rescaled more than 1,570 textures in Donkey Kong Country Returns. The pack covers the whole HUD, Donkey and Diddy Kong, items, backgrounds, mipmaps, fonts and button prompts for Wii, PlayStation and Xbox controllers. It is designed for 1080p and above, at 3x native internal resolution.

The fonts are tuned for English, so accented characters used in other languages still look a little blurry. The pack works with every region of the game: PAL, NTSC revision 0 and NTSC revision 1. It also includes the Xbox 360/One controller profile CTCaer plays with, and bonus skins that turn Donkey and Diddy into albino “Super Kongs”.

This is version 1.4, in a standard build and a smaller DDS build. It needs a Dolphin build that supports the newer PNG texture format, and extracting it needs a recent 7-Zip with LZMA2 support.

How to set it up

1. In Dolphin, open File > Open User Folder, then go into Load/Textures/.
2. Extract the download there, so you end up with a Load/Textures/SF8/ folder.
3. Open Graphics > Advanced and tick Load Custom Textures. Ticking Prefetch Custom Textures too stops stutter, if you have the RAM for it.
