Check out the awesome project here!

Quick Start

• Requires a supported copy of the game (See supported games below).

The instructions below haven't been updated in a while. Join the official Discord for updated builds and support.

Releases:

1. Download the Khan Charlie 6.1.2 .zip from here or the #downloads channel on the official Discord.
2. Download the PC OTRGui version from here.
3. Use OTRGui to create an oot.otr archive file. If you already have a oot.otr file for the latest PC version, you can use that as well.
4. Copy the oot.otr file to the wiiu/apps/soh/ folder on your SD Card.

Nightly Builds:
The nightly builds come with up-to-date features, but are experimental. Use at your own risk.

1. Download the latest soh-wiiu and soh-windows artifact.
2. Use OTRGui from the soh-windows.zip to create an oot.otr archive file. If you already have a oot.otr file for the latest PC nightly version, you can use that as well.
3. Copy the oot.otr file and the contents of the soh-wiiu.zip to the wiiu/apps/soh/ folder on your SD Card.

Credits

• The original OoT decompilation
• The authors of Ship of Harkinian which made this port possible
• @AboodXD for the sm64 Wii U port, where some of my original rendering code was based on
• @Vague Rant and @V10lator for all of the testing and controller improvements they've done!

 

[godreborn]

is it normal to have errors? I saw you mention something about errors with ZAPD?

 

[godreborn]

You should compile the linux version first, it will generate include files necessary for compiling the port.

I think I got it right with linux, but I have no idea where the files go. it's the assets folder, so I assumed assets folder, but I still get the error.

 

[tehtemp]

Thanks so much for your work on this, Gary!

This is the first time in awhile that I'm playing Ocarina of Time and the default text speed is really slow so I'm glad there is a config option to speed that up

You can ignore that last error when running "make setup".

where do the assets go? I tried the assets folder, yet it still can't find them.

You don't need to place them anywhere manually.

 

[FelipeMr98]

can anybody help me? i managed to compile the rom and put it inside the soh folder but every time i try to open the port it just shows a black screen and the wii u crashes

 

[godreborn]

Have ShipWright and Shipwright folders? ShipWright does not have a wiiu docker file.

@GaryOderNichts , I get several errors as it's decompiling the assets, and then it ends with this:

View attachment 309819

That ended the same way for me, only I'm running this on windows and I seen a few errors. The process did end in a few seconds instead of minutes so I don't know how thorough this is (I was using both using the OTRGUI from both the main Ship of Harkinian one and the one provided on this thread and got the same error).

Like I said above, that error can be ignored. When generating the otr file it tries to open an existing one first, which shows this error because there isn't one yet. Nothing to worry about.

 

[T00nist8]

OK thanks.. here you go
(Make sure your soh.rpx oot.otr are located in SD:/wiiu/apps/soh (it's the default location so it should be fine)

Hey, so I installed the Wii u channel file and did put soh.rpx and oot.otr in the file location, but when I clicked on the channel it stayed on the black screen. Is there something I’m missing?

Try downloading the latest nightly build from GitHub actions. It fixes a crash if you have empty lines in the cvars file.

GaryOderNichts, you sir are greatly loved!

So do you plan to include the 60FPS feature released yesterday?... Man i love this Wii U port, having the choice to play OOT on an actual Nintendo but with enhancements is HUGE to me. I still have my drawings of N64 OOT back when it was brand new and i was in kindergarten as i was obsessed with this game. Been wishing so much that Nintendo themselves would do these enhancements, especially the 60FPS, but of course they won't lol

 

[Steffenfield]

Quick question.

When I load up Nintendo Homebrew, on the second menu page it's showing "soh/soh.rpx." to run the game.

How can I install this instead and not need the Homebrew web browser?

Also, how can I attach the boot images shared in this thread for that as well?

Sorry, haven't been around here in a couple of years and I seem to have forgotten most of everything.

It's available in the latest nightly build on GitHub actions, it doesn't run really great though and requires more optimizations.
To enable it add g60FPS = 1 to the cvars.cfg.

@GaryOderNichts , I've managed to build this with linux (probably windows too), but I still don't understand where the wiiu build is reading assets from. you told me not to delete the harbourmasters ShipWright, but I still get an error about it not finding assets in your build. putting it in the assets folder or the root below that results in the same error: cannot find asset x or whatever. I've been extremely frustrated with this, because I didn't realize that there are some problems with ZAPD, and I can't even launch the linux version as I need archlinux instead of an old version of debian or even ubuntu 22.04.

You don't need to clone the original repo. You can follow the linux instructions inside of the Wii U repository until you successfully ran "make setup". Then you will have all the assets in the correct place and can proceed with building the Wii U port.

I tried make setup, but this happens:

godreborn@GODREBORN-LAPTOP:~/Shipwright$ make setup
make: *** No rule to make target 'setup'. Stop.

nm, I think I understand. I'll let you know if I can get it to compile.
