Super Mario 64 HDS is a mod for Super Mario 64 (The PC Port Specifically) it's one that imports and upscales Mario 64 DS textures by a factor of 16, it is conceptually sort of a mix between the Cleaner Aesthetics and the RESRGAN 16x re-upscale texturepacks. It's not complete but it's making good progress
There are many things that can be done with the PC Port of Mario 64, one of the most common things to do is to restore it to what it was supposed to be like, another option is to modernize it to what it would've been like if it were to be made today, that's what this mod is attempting to do, as the DS has the newest Mario 64 textures that are not retro themed.
This mod is not made as a competitor, rival or partner with any other mod, it is its own entity that can be combined with other mods, but it's not specifically designed around that. There are other similar mods to this, but they always happen to be vastly different in scope and philosophy.
It has a portion of the game done where it should be relatively useable, you can alawys check the "Projects" page to see how much progress has been done, using the "Compatability branch you can always use this over other texture packs.
Using ESRGan, by mixing a large set of different models in different orders, and adjusting them in image editing software to fix issues and artifacts.
As this is my first upscaling project, the quality of this is not always perfect. The project has mostly had positive reactions, but if you want to compare the quality for yourself, I would recommend finding textures that are the same between DS and the original game, and then compare this with projects like Render96 HD Textures or Cleaner Aesthetics. Alternatively, you can always use the compatiblity branch of this mod, and then layer it over another texture pack to get the best of both worlds
