All edge cases for bottle combinations and replacement/filling mirrors the real game, as well we produce the compass text, and does not render the item exactly as the original game does. (I would have preferred rendering the item since its only cosmetic but I couldn't find a way to do it). This also swaps the table redirect stuff for using the direct item id's which is a lot more clear and does not substitute anything for 'good enough' and covers all the edge case ids that have been documented. This is purely a cosmetic change to present the visual of the item without affecting the cutscene making any tricks for GIM still work and just looks more polished. This supplies effects of ALL game versions (including MZX build) as well as providing text table. To note: we still can crash with GIM even when returning item None EVEN at least with returning Kokiri Tunic (I can't really figure out why) and there are a few items in the table that use extra data that I don't know how to implement here just yet but the info is in the docs under "Variable". In the case of disabling the gim restoration, the game would still crash. This change adds a text id protection to prevent crashing, as well prevents invalid items from crashing directly, and also makes it so the game will no longer crash when having GIM disabled in the menu.

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
- Place your supported copy of the game in the same folder as the appimage.

Nintendo Switch
- Run one of the PC releases to generate an
oot.o2rand/oroot-mq.o2rfile. After launching the game on PC, you will be able to find these files in the same directory assoh.exeorsoh.appimage. On macOS, these files can be found in/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/com.shipofharkinian.soh/ - Copy the files to your sd card

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 dependant 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:
Development
Building
If you want to manually compile SoH, please consult the building instructions.
Playtesting
If you want to playtest a continuous integration build, you can find them at the links below. Keep in mind that these are for playtesting only, and you will likely encounter bugs and possibly crashes.
Further Reading
More detailed documentation can be found in the 'docs' directory, including the aforementioned building instructions.
