re3 VS zelda3

As someone who's only played the PC versions, don't the PS2 versions have effects none of the other versions have? (barring re3 for PC which adds both PS2 and Xbox effects)

GTA3 and Vice City

Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time were only just decompiled within the last couple of years. Jak and Daxter 1 was decompiled a few months ago. GTA 3 and Vice City have nearly finished decompilations, but TakeTwo took legal action against the developers before they put the finishing touches.

The GTA decomps are still on Github. https://github.com/td512/re3

Play the linux version. https://web.archive.org/web/20210903154258if_/https://pipelines.actions.githubusercontent.com/RObV8RQ98Fqa8pTYlXzimln15Sr17Cd7PMD280avFvPw0rRe1Q/_apis/pipelines/1/runs/7485/signedartifactscontent?artifactName=ubuntu-18.04-gl3&urlExpires=2021-09-03T15%3A43%3A57.0104908Z&urlSigningMethod=HMACV1&urlSignature=r05gEo3YbPaSUVclHu%2BpR9RwmXJf1lFFuEg3QZrpn1k%3D here's a link to the latest release from github, archived thanks to archive.org. Instructions on how to use it are here https://github.com/td512/re3/tree/miami

There's a mirror here https://github.com/td512/re3 and there's backups on archive.org. afaik development has ceased.

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "re3"

Zelda3 - Zelda 3 clone. C, SDL2

here’s the GitHub link to it. there is also a native PC port of Ocarina of time called ship of harkinian. I highly recommend playing these games in their native pc ports for a more modern way with some QoL changes.

The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past Decompilation: https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3

Have you tried to follow the instructions from the Zelda3 official GitHub page?.

I recently imported US version so I can have a legal rom for the PC port. Highly recommend, runs awesome, with widescreen support etc.

i have looked into reverse engiring games from things like the legend of zelda project of RE games. i came across the port of ALTTP which is here: https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3. im intrested in both learning how games work and more importantly porting them into a more readable langauges. I havent started learning anything as i want to understand the fundamentals and the back bones into creating a port. While i started on looking into programming langauges i found actually picking one diffecult. They all seem to have diffrent use cases but i want one that is easy to start off with, i was thinking of either c# or c++, even after picking a code language to settle on, with a port of older games, how does a game engine come into play? iv seen people talking about unity or unreal, but im a little confused on that. can i create a game entirly without a game engine? is porting a game without an engine a good idea? it says the ALTTP was made in c but does it use a game engine or not?

An amazing version right now would be the unofficial PC port based on a decompilation of the actual SNES game. It has a bunch of additional features like widescreen and MSU support.

Let's not forget this, either: https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3
