Thanks to the recent decomplication efforts; The Minish Cap 3DS brings the Game Boy Advance classic Zelda title to your 3DS.

The port takes full advantage of the 3DS (sans 3D) and offers various display and layout options including widescreen , stretched and original aspect ratios with the bottom screen containing a map and dungeon/current quest information. New 3DS is also supported with several further enhancements such as improved performance, multi-core rendering and an optional C-Stick turbo mode for fastforwarding gameplay.

The Minish Cap 3DS also includes support for the Project Picori Randomizer, with separate save data for normal and randomized playthroughs.

As with similar fan-made ports like this, no ROM or copyrighted assets are included with the project. Players must provide their own legally obtained copy of the game.

I wish there was a decent PC port with widescreen. There are two decompilation projects. One crashes instantly on both Windows and Linux and appears abandoned. The other shows more promise, but loses saves on both Windows and Linux and is still a buggy mess, and after a flurry of updates the dev seems to have disappeared.

I suppose for the time being the best way to play with widescreen on PC and Deck is this version emulated through Azahar, which is ridiculous.
Trust me, it does not look that good on 3DS (GBA resolutions does not mesh well with screen resolutions on 3DS)

Have they fixed the scaling on the bottom screen? The oddly scaled icons (like the hearts and R) at the bottom drive me crazy while playing. I remember the scaling was kind of all over the place where you either had to pick between text or the pixel art being good.
