We'll cover the event live as it airs, going through the new features that the PC port will benefit from.
What would you like to see added in the PC port's new update?

...and the direct begins!

• We open up with some scenes of what seems to be machinery moving to begin the countdown.
• It starts with a fully 3D modeled skit based on the CDi games, followed by an intro opening theme akin to sitcoms of the 90s.
  
  
• And we begin with the features!
• New ice trap visuals
• Entrance randomizer
• A lot of new cosmetic options
• A quest file select, allowing the player to select between normal OoT, Master Quest or Randomizer Quest when starting a new file.
• Master Quest Randomizer
• Debug camera
• Check tracker
• Gameplay stats
  
  
• Pet dog
• Audio editor
• Exit market at night
• Enemy randomizer
• Lake Hylia water control switch
  
  
• HD textures and custom model support!
• Ivan the Fairy, a new feature of what seems to be support for player 2 being able to control the fairy alongside some abilities for helping or annoying the main player

HOAH

Is there still any work being done on making it possible to extract the assets from one's own Zelda 64 dump, instead of relying on the mysterious debug ROM? Or does no one care about that anymore..?

Can someone explain the reference please ? I'm curious x)

I believe it is a reference to the Ship of Theseus – the idea that something can remain the same even if you replace all of its parts one-by-one.

I'd really like to play Ivan and be like Mario from SMG4


When Mario says that, DONT GO THAT WAY
What will happen is exactly what we see Ivan do...

 

[SkittleDash]

So either be Ivan the Helpful or Ivan the Terrible. Nice. lol

Ship of Harkinian is the perfect name absolutely no need for a name change.
If you truly know your Zelda history you will know why and not even question the name.

I know exactly where the name came from. Just sayin that it sounds stupid.

WiiU is a good machine with a stupid name. Same story here

 

[Sphaa]

Forget about the name, just let it be.

The best thing is this:
"HD textures and custom model support!"
Now, if someone can convert all texture from the 3DS and make them Hi-res I have everything I need.
Big love to this project!!

True true true! Everything I need are the 3ds models <3

Btw are places like castle town replaced with actual 3d enviroments or are they still 2d images?

 

[jos010]

looks so awesome with that hd mod oot file

 

[James_]

Honestly I'm pretty happy that proper texture and model support has arrived, I've been waiting over a year for this lmao.
Can't wait to see what glorious things and monstrosities the community creates. Big props to the Harbour Masters 64 team.

Tell me about it, I had to sit through the entirety of it.
These directs are getting cringy-er with each release, and not in a fun way.

 

[tooknie]

Nintendo...start your DMCAngines!

Gonna be like....

 

[Nerdtendo]

Y'all really think Nintendo has a trademark on the word "direct"? The whole "Nintendo will come after these people" discussion is not funny, not true, and not contributing to the topic at all.

The only thing Nintendo has a trademark for the word "direct" is when they send DMCA Directs

Well, excuuuuuse meeeee!!! ‍♂

you sound miserable.

I find being public and vocal of this port as a form of gambling! Super Mario Bros. for the C64 already got the Nintendo Guillotine because the creators of the port were too public and vocal with it! I think the Ship of Harkinian should get this into the deep web and out of public view asap, because, who knows... they could be next in line for the Nintendo Guillotine! Once that hideous thing drops down, ball-game's over!

While I agree, Nintendo has dome things for very ridiculous reasons, nothing illegal is happening.
They aren't distributing any code written by Nintendo, or any Nintendo IP assets, so technically they're not able to legally charge these people with anything.
It's one of the reasons I love these decompilation projects.

The 3ds has been injected into an n64 rom, but if your looking for HD textures then you dont want the 3ds, its shit, fans have done far better than greggo.
