ZELDA: THE MINISH CAP GETS A NATIVE PC PORT FOR WINDOWS, MAC AND LINUX
Project Picori: a native PC port of Zelda: The Minish Cap for Windows, Linux and Mac
Project Picori is a native PC port of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA, 2004), built on the zeldaret/tmc decompilation, with SDL3, a software renderer for the GBA's graphics and the agbplay audio engine. It runs on x86-64 Windows, Linux and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), and one build supports the USA, European and Japanese versions, checking your ROM by its SHA-1. v0.9.6 landed on 20 October. It is also the engine under EstebanPdN's Minish Cap 3DS port already on the wire. Still work in progress: some rendering and gameplay paths are rough.
You need: Your own ROM of The Minish Cap (USA, EU or JP), checked by SHA-1. No ROMs are included. Work in progress.
