Changing the textures is a non trivial matter.  If you check out the TMD
file format, (after a while) you see that it in fact has references to
where in the frame buffer the texture will be loading itself as well as
the CLUT if it uses one.
  What does that mean?  You either have to connect your textures and
tmd's at the point of creation (rsdlink etc) or go in and hardwire it
which involves a lot of wrangling.  
  It is possible to change textures in your code, but it takes a good
deal of work to get up and running.

Hope this helps
