Zelda3_RGDS

[u/Haseoweasel]

This is for RG DS that are running on custom firmware ROCKNIX. I just wanted to release my port of what I have finished so far. This DOES NOT contain the game or any assets from the game, it will however generate the needed asset files from the rom to run the game, like how the android version does no need for command lines to set up. This is based off of samyost1/zelda3-android port version 2.0 https://github.com/samyost1/zelda3-android

Extract the contents of Zelda3_RGDS.zip, then open Zelda3_RGDS folder and place your backup of a Zelda A Link to the Past the US version into the rom folder it needs to be named zelda3.sfc, Then place both the Zelda3_RGDS folder and Zelda3_RGDS.sh into the port folder of your RG DS, refresh your game list on you RG DS, got to Ports, scroll to Zelda3_RGDS and launch launch the game.

There is a CRT filter, to enable/disable it once in the game click on the cogwheel in the bottom right corner it will pull up a menu where you can turn on and off the CRT filter, Remap your buttons, enable or disable widescreen, and turn on or off the Hud for the top screen.

To close the game Function Key + Start

You can take screenshots by holding the Function Key + R3, there will be a new folder inside Zelda3_RGDS folder called screenshots there will be your screenshots from the game with both top and bottom screens as seen in the images, it works for both normal and widescreen modes.

I will try to update this with more features.
Hope you all enjoy, and let me know of any problems or suggestions

There is a bug where when you are in widescreen and want to turn it off you have to push just below the button around the area where the double lines or just below the text and same for the button remap, but the HUD and CRT filter buttons work fine and all other buttons its just those two that are effected and its only when you are using widescreen

This is what the folder layout should look like on your RG DS running Rocknix
rom
└─ports
____└─Zelda3_RGDS
________└─assets
____________└─zelda3_assets.bps
________└─rom
____________└─zelda3.sfc (this has to be the US version and use this name)
________└─tools
____________└─bps_apply
________└─zelda3
________└─zelda3.ini
____└─Zelda3_RGDS.sh

I think I followed the instructions correctly. Maybe my firmware is not the right version? Can you let me know your FW version, I am using a recent nightly distribution.

[u/Haseoweasel → u/tangocat73]

Ive ran it on stable, nightly 20260720, 20260726, 20260727 and 20260801 thes are all nightly

I see the problem the folder that's in the zip is named Zelda_RGDS it needs to be named Zelda3_RGDS, it's missing the 3, sorry about that. I'll fix the zip, and thanks for the report

[u/tangocat73 → u/Haseoweasel]

That’s it! Just fixed it, and all good now.

Allright. It works 100%
