Great work man I'm so glad to be playing this game again- the 3ds version was good but it became cramped for me to play with my hands for so long and this solves it
I hope the OoT ROM gets the same treatment as Mario 64 did by Kaze. I would love to see the game running with improved frame rate, audio, and textures on original hardware.
Much love for this project. Good to see they got that controller config menu that I wanted in there. I'm not going to hold my breath but I would love it if this was a stepping stone toward Majora's Mask eventually receiving the same treatment.
Good news for you! On zelda64.dev you can see how far along the Majoras mask decompilation is, after that is done, it's only a matter of time until a pc port is made :)
Man, I remember a few years ago there was a similar port of Super Mario 64, it was crazy. I'm so glad to see more n64 games finally coming to PC! I hope so much for a port of Perfect Dark or Goldeneyes with keyboard and mouse support! It's already possible to play this way with Project64, but it's still pretty clunky. I thank you for your guide, I subscribe.
One thing that isn't in the timesavers area is a sprint of sorts. I really recommend this to anyone who plays BOTW, since the sprint behaves the exact same way. Basically, go into enhancements, and go into "Customize Game Controls". Scroll down until you see "Enable walk speed modifiers". I set the modifier to 130%, but you can turn it up if you want to. You can assign it to a button on you're controller at Port 1. Set it to Y/Triangle, and done.
Great video Creed, I will definitely be sending this to people as the de-facto guide for setting up SoH. If you don't mind me asking, how's porting the texture pack coming along? I'm currently using your beta pack with Special K and what has been textured looks fantastic! With all the enhancements built into SoH, once the game gets fully textured, its going to be impossible to go back LOL
Thanks! I'm working on the next update, not sure yet when I will release it. It will be obsolete soon though, there will be an official texture pack loader soon and it seems like a few texture packs are being ported over right now.
Damn I love this freaking community. There are so many awesome source ports out there it's amazing. I hope there will be even more in the future. Thank you for the video.
Great guide! I'm usualy not fond of TH-cam Guides since they are usualy too vague or explaining stuff in some wrong way, which was not your case! Just a tiny nitpick about the frame Interpolation SOH use Matrix Interpolation which makes the game away of 3D movement contrary to the video frame interpollation people usually mistakes it with (we use the term frame Interpolation in that case for clarity for new user) ^-^ Great work and thanks for your support!
Thanks! I didn't know this, I know Frame Interpolation and how it works, so I was confused on how it could be implemented in a video game, thanks for the info!
I mean it's clear right away that this is not video frame interpolation, that would add a ton of rendering overhead and video artifacts. Doesn't mean the game doesn't look kinda weird with this kind of interpolation. It's very obvious that the animations were made for no higher than 30 fps. At 144 you get a keyframe per 4 frames as the absolute max, the rest is all interpolation.
This decompilation is incredible! I'd really love to see a real free camera (moving it independently from Link). This would be great for content creators like me that want to get footage of maps and locations! Thank you for the informative video!
This port is one of the best things that has ever happened to me! Ocarina of time is one of my favorite games of all time, and having quality of life improvements like 60fps in 1080p resolution, a crosshair for the bow, camera control and button custom mapping is beyond amazing! Also the wonderful mods that have come up in the past year are beyond incredible! Many mods that give a graphic overhaul that make the game look very beautiful and even the character models that are very modern! This is the ocarina experience I always wanted and more! I hope we can see something similar with Majora's Mask soon!
Just finished a SoH playthrough w/4k texture pack Oot Reloaded. Incredible experience! The modern enhancements make the game so much easier to follow and the flow is great! Great guide! Clear and concise. And yes, Google is your friend...in this single instance 👍
There is an ENORMOUS difference between disassembly and reverse engineering. In the case of disassembly, you're taking the machine code -- the game code from the ROM -- and turning that into a higher level language. In the case of reverse engineering, you observe the behavior of a certain piece of the application (i.e. the game) and programming something that works the same. You can do this with the help of disassembled code, or without; white box or black box reverse engineering respectively. That's it in a nutshell, but there's more nuances. The point is that you should not use any of these terms interchangeably.
I just heard about another PC port for Link to the Past. One great thing about loving Zelda is the dedicated army fans continually finding ways to expand on the classics.
Hope that gets worked on, it’s kinda bad right now, it’s at a state where emulation is better, I’ll get it if they add full screen and other enhancements
I played this game in 1998, and never finished it. I was 9 years old then and for some reason, I always felt that I had abandoned Epona by not playing the game anymore. It was like I didn't finish the story and somehow Epona was just left in Hyrule Field waiting for me to never return and I felt a strange sense of guilt over it. The feeling never left and was pretty intense the first few years after I had stopped playing. Now, today, at 33 years old, I am finally picking this back up and playing until I beat the game for the first time ever. Thank you for helping me figure out how to get this up and running, and thank you to the people that made this opportunity possible. It's time for me to put the past behind me finally.
So basically you are saying you are a Hero of Time and just started an adult timeline. Understandable 😉 Life is just beginning over 30 so have fun and may the triforce be with you 👍
man, my uncle has been playing Ocarina of Time on PC since I was like 8, 12 years ago. It's never been a difficult task to just use an emulator, that said this is still cool.
If Im gonna be completely honest. When it comes to updating the game I recommend just copying over your old save to the save folder in the new version. The reason for this is because a few newer versions add new files and such. The only drawback from this is that you will have to fix your settings again but it wont take more than 5 minutes. And if you really wanna be fast switch out the ship of harkanian json file from the old to the new tho I do not recommend doing this bc the newer versions might have something new
man, i was really really skeptical because the SM64 decomp guys kept insisting that you had to compile your own game, but it looks like SoH is a lot more user friendly.
This is what I've always wanted since highschool, thank you to everyone making this possible. Also some questions 1. Are textures still being worked on? 2. You mentioned it's possible to make the game harder, does that also effect certain enemies to move faster or any mods to enimes like iron knuckles to be buffed or harder to hit for example? Thanks!
pretty sure frame interprelation means its "guessing what this would look like if it were this higher fps, and i'll invent how it looks on the fly" which obviously has it's downsides, and i'm wondering if it respects the intended pacing at all.
It's a shame Ship of Harkinian doesn't support the NTSC ROMs at the moment. Hopefully one of these days, I can play the native OoT PC port using the ROM I got legitimately through the Wii U Virtual Console release.
hey uh, i have a non master quest debug thing on the same folder as the otrgui file, the debug file is .z64 but here is the thing, everytime i open otrgui a bunch of errors appear in the lines of code and it doesnt create the otr filewhen done any ideas of what might be the problem?
Great video man, I got a question though. Do you know if the port can use texture packs? I've been fiddling around with it and enjoying it for a while now, but I don't know how to install one.
It dosn't work... i got the rom from clicking the first result of searching "ocarina of time debug rom not master quest" and put it in the SOH directory, used OTR gui and i noticed in the debug console errors were popping up every now and then. i launched soh.exe and it crashed at the start.
kinda sad that if you have a standard controller you HAVE to choose between freecam or the extra c buttons. I had to go for the extra buttons it's just too op
Can you make the video with the enchantements configurations for a newer SoH version? There are plenty of new settings, and also the old ones were moved into different menus.
I know what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm updating SoH and and playing oot. Gonna have to figure out how to update it but hopefully it won't be too difficult
