zelda3 VS cartreader

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

This particular copy—which was $38 shipped; I probably could've done better, but it was convenient!—appears to have been owned by a Shin Sakuma (佐久間伸 Sakuma, Shin) who put more than a few hours into it judging from the saves. (Which I backed up using my Open Source Cartridge Reader, in the interest of preservation. 😌)

I use my Open Source Cartridge Reader to read/write N64 controller paks. (And read/write save data from cartridges.)

In the long run, another solution might be to buy/build an Open Source Cartridge Reader and use it in combination with one of the more readily available modern flash cartridges.

I'm not from Germany (I'm from France) but I did modify my Nintendo 3DS with something called Gomode9 to dump my DS and 3DS games, I did bought an external Blu-Ray reader BP50NB40 which can be used to dump PS3 games with a tool called ps3-disc-dumper and I built a Sanni Cart Reader (https://github.com/sanni/cartreader) to dump other kind of cartridge for older consoles.

if your into soldering and have other retro games you want to look into the sanni cart reader https://github.com/sanni/cartreader

If you can solder, sanni cartreader is probably the best way to go. Otherwise, you can pay to have one built.
