Hey everyone! I'd like to introduce to you my port for the Nintendo Switch of the beloved Ocarina of Time PC port called Ship of Harkinian. It comes with some handy features like widescreen, 60 fps, and even some cool enhancements like an integrated randomizer and a ton of more integrated mods!

• Copy the otr file you generated into switch/ among with the otr you generated on the last step.
• Enjoy <3!

Is this whole reverese engineering thing compatible with majoras mask as well?

Majora's being decompiled. It's at 75% with 2% being done this year. So I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for it

 

[RetroGamer360]

so can you not save at all?

[urbanman2004]

I haven't been keeping up w/ the progress of some of these decompilation projects, but hats off to the dev team whose efforts cannot be overlooked nor understated. Their undertaking is mindblowing...

I downloaded the game off Tinfoil and for whatever reason the buttons don’t seem to work can anyone help me out with this. I can’t even start the game

Maybe you should follow the guide and build it from scratch?

Dont play the game from that bullshit, just follow the instructions

Would it be possible to translate the game as is done with OTRMod on PC version?

EDIT: Found out a bit more information and it worked. To help anyone who is interested, the process is described by user Zeru (Ñ).z64 on discord and it's easy enough to find. Generate the otr mod file on OTRMod, then create a folder named /mods in /switch/SoH folder and put NTSCMod.otr generated there.

 

[The_Chaotician]

@Lywx - How does the enhancements menu work for docked/undocked consoles? I can activate and deactivate with (-) as intended, but i cant seem to select any of the main tabs. Touch screen for undocked seems unreliable at best. Do i need to add anything to any config files?

 

[crazycrash_hum]

Hi Everybody,

this is the forwader i made for this port

and yes you can screensave

 

[WrestlinFan]

Has anyone else had any issues with mapping the right analog stick? It does not read inputs correctly. Doesn't seem to be a hardware problem either as my DualSense was having the same issue. For example, if I have the right stick mapped to act as the c-buttons, and I press left on the stick, it'll register as left and up. I had to map the c-buttons to the d-pad to be able to play the Ocarina.

Works fine on the latest version (7.0.1). I have mine set to C-up and it works without issue.

Maybe see if you can edit the config file if you’re struggling to map it in game? Failing that, generate a new oot.otr.

 

[AzraelJR]

Not sure if this is the right place, but is it possible to patch something like the 3DS textures into the assets?

I read somewhere if there were too many mod textures it would crash the Switch. But what about editing the assets directly?

Instructions not clear. Where can I find this file ORT.gui? I dont see this file in newest version

Only after putting it in sleep mode (and if my clocks are a bit low)

Switch V1 + trinket m0 + firmware 16.0.3 (EmuMMC) / Switch Lite + SX Lite on spacecraft-nx + firmware 16.0.3 (sysMMC)
latest atmosphere (1.5.5), hekate (6.0.6), sigpatches
latest Ship of Harkinian (Sulu Bravo - 7.1.1) on both PC and Switch
PAL GC Rom (debug) SHA-1 : CEE6BC3C2A634B41728F2AF8DA54D9BF8CC14099 → generated oot.otr (28.5MB) SHA-1 : 4AFABF74920FFE6AF675191C3BF607C15E620BBB


everything runs smooth and nicely, on both PC and my Switch V1 & Lite
maybe you're making something wrong ? or maybe you launch SOH without full RAM access ?

(and if you already generated an oot.otr from an old SOH build, you must remake it)

ps : I can make soh crash at boot like you, by removing oot.otr from switch\soh folder
if it can't read the file, it crashes


EDIT : just updated my Switch V1 to 16.1.0
works great too.
