Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum but looked at a few posts and saw a few people needed help getting texture dumping/loading to work on Mac. I've been messing with it for awhile and finally got it working.

I have a Macbook Pro late 2011 just for reference.

You'll need:
Dolphin (preferably 3.0 because thats what I use) https://sites.google.com/a/devkitpro.org/dolphin-emu/osx-dolphin-test-builds (the last download link on the page)

WWE 13 iso

Powerful photo editing software (I use and recommend GIMP) http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

To know where the "Library" directory is on your Mac. At the top of the taskbar, select Go>All My Files, and search for it, its the one with the little library icon on the folder.


The key is to make sure u know what version of the WWE '13 iso u have (NTSC (USA) or PAL (Europe)). This is important for directory purposes.

When u have Dolphin downloaded and installed on your computer, go to Library>Application Support>Dolphin>Dump>Textures

Create a folder in the Textures directory named S3XE78 (for NTSC) (or) S3XP78 (for PAL).

Go to Library>Application Support>Dolphin>Load>Textures and create the same folder.

Then start the game up in Dolphin and go into a match and go to Graphics>Advanced>(tick) Dump Textures to dump the textures u want. (It make take awhile to dump everything so be patient) They will be .tga files.

Go to Library>Application Support>Dolphin>Dump>Textures>S3XE78 (or) S3XP78. Find the textures u want, (At this point I usually close down Dolphin just for everything to load up fresh when i add new textures, but that's just me, it will load either way)

Edit your textures in GIMP, and save them as the EXACT same name as the one you are replacing.

Export to the Library>Application Support>Dolphin>Load>Textures>S3XE78 (or) S3XP78 folder. (RLE compression ticked and Origin: Bottom left)

Go into Dolphin and go to Graphics>Advanced>(tick) Load Textures & (untick) Dump Textures.

Start the game and ur textures should load up in-game!

I just did this tutorial off the top of my head, i tried to make it as detailed as possible, but I may have missed something, so don't hesitate to message me with any questions!
