If you're having any trouble after reading through this README, feel free to ask for help in the Support text channels. Please keep in mind that we do not condone piracy.

Quick Start

The Ship does not include any copyrighted assets. You are required to provide a supported copy of the game.

1. Verify your ROM dump

You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the compatibility checker at https://ship.equipment/. If you'd prefer to manually validate your ROM dump, you can cross-reference its sha1 hash with the hashes here.

2. Download The Ship of Harkinian from Releases

3. Launch the Game!

Windows

• Extract the zip
• Launch soh.exe

Linux

• Execute soh.appimage. You may have to chmod +x the appimage via terminal.
• When prompted, select your supported copy of the game.
• Saves, settings and oot.o2r are stored in ~/.local/share/soh/. If the folder you launch from already has shipofharkinian.json, oot.o2r or oot-mq.o2r, that folder is used instead. Set SHIP_HOME to choose another folder.

macOS

• Run soh.app. When prompted, select your supported copy of the game.
• You should see a notification saying Processing OTR, then, once the process is complete, you should get a notification saying OTR Successfully Generated, then the game should start.

4. Play!

Congratulations, you are now sailing with the Ship of Harkinian! Have fun!

Project Overview

Ship of Harkinian (SOH) is built atop a custom library dubbed libultraship (LUS). Back in the N64 days, there was an SDK distributed to developers named libultra; LUS is designed to mimic the functionality of libultra on modern hardware. In addition, we are dependent on the source code provided by the OOT decompilation project.

In order for the game to function, you will require a legally acquired ROM for Ocarina of Time. Click here to check the compatibility of your specific rom. Any copyrighted assets are extracted from the ROM and reformatted as a .o2r archive file which the code uses.

Graphics Backends

Currently, there are three rendering APIs supported: DirectX11 (Windows), OpenGL (all platforms), and Metal (MacOS). You can change which API to use in the Settings menu of the menubar, which requires a restart. If you're having an issue with crashing, you can change the API in the shipofharkinian.json file by finding the line gfxbackend:"" and changing the value to sdl for OpenGL. DirectX 11 is the default on Windows.

Custom Assets

Custom assets are packed in .otr archive files. To use custom assets, place them in the mods folder.

If you're interested in creating and/or packing your own custom asset .otr files, check out the following tools:

• retro - OTR generator
• fast64 - Blender plugin
