zelda3 VS urde

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

Metaforce for Metroid Prime is a thing that nobody ever seems to notice exists: https://axiodl.com/

Without source code, someone would have to dig through the 1s and 0s and try to piece together how the developers put together all the algorithms and such in the first place. There are some tools to make this easier, but most of the time it's like solving a completely white jigsaw puzzle with a billion pieces. Check out the "Metaforce," discord where they're decompiling/reverse engineering Metroid Prime if you're curious what this type of project looks like.

Metroid Prime isn't quite ready, but it's getting close.

Here's a link to the github where you can set it up yourself and also has links to the discord: https://github.com/AxioDL/metaforce

Or go a little further with MetaForce: https://github.com/AxioDL/metaforce/

Primehack (here's the downloader/auto-updater) is pretty much the definitive way to play it at the moment (at least until Metaforce goes into beta). Keyboard/mouse controls, dual stick analog controls, original Wii controls, plenty of QOL features, full HD, it's great!

After playing Trilogy since it came out, I recently played through the original GCN version using Metaforce (a reverse engineering of Prime to run natively on PC) and realized IMHO that the lore was soooo much better. Ignoring entries with plotholes that had later been fixed, the way the Chozo lore was written was a lot more verbose and felt like I was really reading words written by an ancient, transcendent civilization. It was sort of abstract and seemed like the author was peering back from beyond the void to leave behind a message, while the new versions feel a bit plain.
