It’s so cool seeing dual-screen emulation handhelds get popular enough that now even recompilation projects are supporting them!

I'm sure others have brought this up but also: this was already done by hand pre-AI! it seems pretty neat actually github.com/snesrev/zelda3

They do exist, github.com/snesrev/zelda3 for example. But overall there is less of need since emulation for those platforms are very mature, accurate and performant, so you're not really gaining a whole lot by recompiling the code for the target processor.

For modding, I built zelda3-tools.
It can extract and rebuild maps, dungeons, dialogue, sprites, fonts, music and other assets using formats like YAML, text and PNG. The port can also compare itself against the original game frame-by-frame for accuracy.

and to be fair most of the work of porting it to the PC was done by github.com/snesrev/zelda3 I just converted it to Zig + SDL3. It's still a lot of work but not as much as this was. It was converted and just left as is. I am going to finish it up in a new language and add modern features.

Got the dual screen Android port of Link to the Cast up and running on the Thor. Insanely cool. I’ve never played this (and am currently playing a different Zelda) but when I decide to; this will be the version.

hell yes I'm excited for Zelda
...specifically this reverse-engineered port of Link To The Past that's frame-accurate to the original, runs natively on Switch, PS Vita, Mac, Linux, and Windows, and has optional pixel shaders and 16:9 aspect ratio settings

Curieux : t'as déjà tenté la recompilation ? (vu que ça apporte le support des mods je pense et tout ça en plus d'être nativement en HD widescreen et tout le toutim?)
Évidemment pas pour un 1er run, mais je suis curieux de ce que une vétéran du jeu en pense :D

Zelda: A Link to the Past has been decompiled and can run on Windows,macOS, and Linux. I am making a cross-platform launcher to help people get this running and launch the game. I am doing this for the Physical Edition I am making. I will release it on GitHub. It's Ugly now but that will change.
