## How do I add texture packs that can be used by the Mesen Core?

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* All texture packs go into the `texture_packs/RetroArch-Mesen/` folder.
|
|
|
|
|
* The texture pack have to be extracted from .zip or other compressed format into a folder.
|
|
|
|
|
* The name of the folder must be the same name as that of the rom file the texture pack is for.

|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Extract the `ScaryCastle TexturePACK HD.zip`
|
|
|
|
|
2. Move the extracted `ScaryCastle TexturePACK HD` folder into `texture_packs/RetroArch-Mesen/`
|
|
|
|
|
3. Rename the `ScaryCastle TexturePACK HD` folder so it has the same name as the rom `ScaryCastle USA` without the `.nes` file extension.
