zelda3 VS OpenRCT2

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

OpenRCT2 - Roller Coster Tycoon 2 clone. C++, SDL2, OpenGL

It's been awhile, but I had to open the config INI file that stores the file locations and populate it so it knew where to look for the rct2 files in order to get it to work. Instructions are under the "original files" section under "Potential Problems" here: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Android

Open Rollercoaster Tycoon is free and cross platform https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2 (been having fun going back to play older simulation games)

OpenRCT2, Gear City.

Or dive into the code yourself here: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2

openrct2 is an open source reimplementation of rollercoaster tycoon 2. might be worth studying how they did it to get some ideas.
