Installation

Requirements:

• Game Data Files: SNES.

How to set up:

• You need to extract the file zelda3_assets.dat from a dump of your own The Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past US SNES cartridge. To do so:
  • Download Python installer and install.
  • Open the command prompt.
  • Type "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" and hit enter.
  • Type "python -m pip install --upgrade Pillow" and hit enter.
  • Type "python -m pip install --upgrade pyyaml" and hit enter.
  • Close the command prompt.
  • Follow these steps: https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3/wiki/2.-Cloning-and-Setup
• Place zelda3_assets.dat file in ux0:data/zelda3/tables.

Options:

• Several options can be changed by editing the file ux0:data/zelda3/zelda3.ini.
• If you care more about framerate than widescreen, 4:3 aspect ratio is suggested to be set.
• (4:3 ensures game is always fullspeed whilst with widescreen, sometimes game drops down around 45 fps).

Screenshots

Changelog

v1.1

• Fixed a bug making 4:3 aspect ratio to be always stretched. Now it will be stretched only if IgnoreAspectRatio is enabled,
• Added bilinear filtering option (BilinearFiltering).
