ChaotixSoda's Super Monkey Ball Texture Pack

By ChaotixSoda

This project is a complete AI HD upscaled texture pack for Super Monkey Ball on the GameCube. Using AI restoration techniques, I’ve cleaned up and enhanced the game’s original textures to create a sharper and more detailed look, while staying faithful to the original art direction. I also replaced some textures with higher quality versions from other Super Monkey Ball games where they fit best.

I originally released the texture pack in 2021 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Super Monkey Ball franchise. This 2.0 release expands upon the original version by introducing many newer and more advanced models into the mix. The results are cleaner and more accurate texture details than before, while still preserving the early 2000’s GameCube aesthetic!

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/GMB/ folder.
3. Open Graphics > Advanced and tick Load Custom Textures. Ticking Prefetch Custom Textures too stops stutter, if you have the RAM for it.
