Homebrew The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past (Nintendo Switch port)

​

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Switch port of The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past with enhancements (widescreen 16:9, 16:10, 18:9 and 4:3), bugfixes, features like MSU-1, redux and gameplay QoL.

Unfortunately, I cant provide the zelda3_assets.dat (rules are rules) needed alongside to launch the game. I'm just sharing the compiled nro. The wiki on github source explain perfectly how to extract and compile the resources using a dumped or d*******ed zelda3.sfc ROM:

https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3/wiki

Only steps 1 (getting python and its dependencies) and 2 are needed in order to get the assets.dat, if planning to build the nro, try the full guide.

Once done, just copy the zelda3_assets.dat file into switch/zelda3/ directory.
Extract the attached file and copy the folder "zelda3" into switch folder, just run through HBL. To change some settings open the zelda3.ini with Vgedit on Switch or using a text editor on any other OS.

Will give a try, I really love the zelda games

Awesome to see, great work on the quick port.

Installing Python and pip from the MS store was more of a pain in the ass than I wanted, but I got zelda3_assets.dat compiled. Thanks for this, I'll add the MSU files and play this as the definitive version of LttP.

Yeah, that's why I personally always use the independent ones.

I just follow the guide and compile the NRO using MSYS and was simple.

Will try to compile the Windows version using MSYS also, wish me luck.

I just find what your "home" path get inside the NRO, so each compiled version is completely different, and the name of the user get inside the binary, bad thing.

I honestly don't know why people care about your user folder path being public... I see people blank them out, and it seems about as useful as those people that hide their PSP's MAC address. (Nobody can do anything with the information remotely.)

is more a concern about privacy more than security.

I do remember the time when MS Word documents save lots and lots of information about all users saving the file, by example, his MAC and public IP address...

Public IP address could be problematic, but a folder on my C:\ drive is nothing to sweat about.
My user folder is simply C:\Users\Jayro

(Who could have guessed that? LOL)

Works for me.
Definitely some issues currently like the title screen/file select & interior of your home staying in 4:3.
Black covering parts of the overworld until you hit the screen scroll portion of it to (temporarily) unveil a chunk of the map. etc.

works great i tried to make a 12+ nsp forwarder and failed anyone made one that works?

 

[agarnele]

Thx for this project.

Can U make this in german ROM (i can be send, when U wish)

 

[Badablek]

works great, thanks ! Hope to see support for other langages.

BTW, is 16:9 rendering supposed to make some kind of "moving black screen" (when you walk near an adjacent area) ? I know this game is cut in areas, but it feels really strange. 16:9 isn't supposed to load adjacent area instead of making a black screen ?

 

[ShadowOne333]

Wait what?! It has Redux support already?!

built it for the switch, but I can't test. I also forgot to extract the assets first. I also built it for windows, which took almost no time:

To anyone curious, the MSU-Deluxe set (114 tracks) works, not just the MSU set (35 tracks)

I was reading the documentation, but can not figure how exit the switch version to HBL.

the assets files is the same for Windows, linux, Mac and Switch

I figured that, just wasn't sure if you needed to compile the assets before the nro or if it mattered.

Cool, for what I inferred on the building documentation, on MSYS windows Compilation generate the assets file, the Switch compilation require you run the commands beside the compilation. but anyway are separated process.

the assets extraction is a Python script.

Yeah, I compiled everything for the switch version with msys. I compiled the windows version with visual studio 2022.

If anybody like, this is a Switch Forwarder created using SAK:
