- WARNING! -
|
|
|
|
This repository is a work in progress, and while it can be used to make certain changes, it's still
|
|
constantly evolving. If you use it for modding purposes in its current state, please be aware that
|
|
the codebase can drastically change at any time. Also note that some parts of the ROM may not be
|
|
'shiftable' yet, so modifying them could be difficult at this point.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a WIP **decompilation** of ***The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time***. The purpose of the project is to recreate a source code base for the game from scratch, using information found inside the game along with static and/or dynamic analysis. **It is not producing a PC port.** For more information you can get in touch with the team on our [Discord server](https://discord.zelda64.dev).
|
|
|
|
The only build currently supported is Master Quest (Debug), but other versions are planned to be supported.
|
|
|
|
It builds the following ROM:
|
|
|
|
* oot-gc-eu-mq-dbg.z64 `md5: 75e344f41c26ec2ec5ad92caa9e25629`
|
|
|
|
**Note: This repository does not include any of the assets necessary to build the ROM. A prior copy of the game is required to extract the needed assets.**

## Installation
|
|
|
|
We recommend using WSL on Windows, or native Linux, which the rest of this readme describes. We currently have instructions for
|
|
|
|
* [Windows](#Windows), with and without WSL
|
|
* [macOS](docs/BUILDING_MACOS.md)
|
|
* [Linux](#Linux-Native-or-under-WSL--VM), natively or using WSL / VM
|
|
* [Docker](docs/BUILDING_DOCKER.md)
|
|
|
|
(These will also depend on the Linux instructions.)
|
|
Some of these may also be out of date or unmaintained; usually our contributors use WSL, Linux, and macOS, so these instructions should be up to date.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
For Windows 10 or 11, install WSL and a distribution by following this
|
|
[WSL Installation Guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
|
|
We recommend using Ubuntu 20.04 as the Linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
For older versions of Windows, install a Linux VM or refer to either [Cygwin](docs/BUILDING_CYGWIN.md) or [Docker](docs/BUILDING_DOCKER.md) instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Linux (Native or under WSL / VM)
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Install build dependencies
|
|
|
|
The build process has the following package requirements:
|
|
|
|
* git
|
|
* build-essential
|
|
* binutils-mips-linux-gnu
|
|
* python3
|
|
* python3-pip
|
|
* python3-venv
|
|
* libpng-dev
|
|
|
|
Under Debian / Ubuntu (which we recommend using), you can install them with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install git build-essential binutils-mips-linux-gnu python3 python3-pip python3-venv libpng-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using GCC as the compiler for Ocarina of Time, you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* gcc-mips-linux-gnu
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Clone the repository
|
|
|
|
**N.B.** If using WSL, we strongly encourage you to clone into WSL's Linux filesystem using Linux's `git`.
|
|
Cloning into the Windows filesystem will result in much slower read/write speeds, and often causes issues when Windows copies the files with the wrong line endings, which the compiler IDO cannot handle correctly.
|
|
|
|
Clone `https://github.com/zeldaret/oot.git` where you wish to have the project, with a command such as:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/zeldaret/oot.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will copy the GitHub repository contents into a new folder in the current directory called `oot`. Change into this directory before doing anything else:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd oot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Prepare a base ROM
|
|
|
|
Place a copy of the Master Quest (Debug) ROM inside the `baseroms/gc-eu-mq-dbg/` folder.
|
|
If you are under WSL, you can run the command `explorer.exe .` to open the current directory in the Windows file explorer.
|
|
|
|
Rename the file to `baserom.z64`, `baserom.n64` or `baserom.v64`, depending on the original extension.
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Setup the ROM and build process
|
|
|
|
Setup and extract everything from your ROM with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This downloads some dependencies (from pip), and compiles tools for the build process.
|
|
Then it generates a new ROM `baseroms/gc-eu-mq-dbg/baserom-decompressed.z64` that will have the overdump removed and the header patched.
|
|
It will also extract the individual assets from the ROM.
|
|
|
|
#### 5. Build the ROM
|
|
|
|
Run make to build the ROM.
|
|
Make sure your path to the project is not too long, otherwise this process may error.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If all goes well, a new ROM should be built at `build/gc-eu-mq-dbg/oot-gc-eu-mq-dbg.z64`, and the following text printed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
build/gc-eu-mq-dbg/oot-gc-eu-mq-dbg.z64: OK
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you instead see the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
build/gc-eu-mq-dbg/oot-gc-eu-mq-dbg.z64: FAILED
|
|
md5sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This means that the built ROM isn't the same as the base one, so something went wrong or some part of the code doesn't match.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** to speed up the build, you can either:
|
|
|
|
* pass `-jN` to `make setup` and `make`, where N is the number of threads to use in the build. The generally-accepted wisdom is to use the number of virtual cores your computer has.
|
|
* pass `-j` to `make setup` and `make`, to use as many threads as possible, but beware that this can use too much memory on lower-end systems.
|
|
|
|
Both of these have the disadvantage that the ordering of the terminal output is scrambled, so for debugging it is best to stick to one thread (i.e. not pass `-j` or `-jN`).

Some tasks also don't require much knowledge to get started.
|
|
|
