Where do i find that?! i have NEVER seen it anywhere on the store!!!
There are only two games released so far and they are Super Mario World and F-Zero. To play any other games you would have to inject the rom into an existing VC title. Just search for VC rom injection. Or use the cia of BlargSNES and put the roms directly on your SD card.

afaik no version of blarg ever worked properly with alttp, and afaik the latest version doesn't boot it at all (and on the older versions it crashed when using the Pegasus boots), your best bet if you want to avoid rom injections is retroarch, pretty sure blargsnes is pretty much abandoned at this point

I use Blarg all the time. I will have to look and see what version I have. The only issue is games like pilot wing and star fox that use the special graphics chip.

I guess i can always wait for the 14th, and i guess that a CIA files will be created by someone right?

The cia is in the zip folder. 1.3b is what I use.

there is almost certainly already a pre-made rom injection

hmmm maybe it received another update after the original dev threw a wobbler and made his own forum, last i remember alttp didn't work fully on any version

To be honest I have not tried alttp yet but I have not had any major issues with other games except for what I said earlier.

EDIT: It takes about 30 seconds to install so there is no harm in trying.

Pretty ALttP only works on blargSnes 1.2 and earlier. Either that or you can try out PocketSNES or CatSFC from RetroArch. I guess you could use Nintendo's crappy VC wrapper if you don't like the other options.

1.2 can be found on at the same link I posted earlier if 1.3b does not work.

Snes can be emulated very well. I use catsfc or pocketsnes from the retroarch package. Advantages over using snes VC would be possibility to use video filters, savestates and allowing the device to go to sleep during emulation. I also don't know of any games that don't work well emulated.
