Let's goooo!

In addition to 60fps, the port now runs on Linux, and new features such as save states, Gameshark-style cheats and accessibility features such as voice descriptions have been added to the game.

Ship of Harkinian brought Zelda: Ocarina of Time to PC earlier this year with many new features such as HD graphics, ultra-widescreen resolution, keyboard support, modding support, force feedback and gyroscope aiming.

The mods are available on their Discord, and you can use a Gamecube PAL rom (no debug rom needed anymore) to build the port.

Does it work with other versions of OOT other than the Gamecube Master Quest Debug version that only like, 2 people outside of Nintendo actually legally own yet?

Cause that's all I've been waiting for.

You don't need the debug one anymore, any regular Ocarina of Time PAL rom extracted from the Gamecube version should work.

Great stuff.

Also fascinating how they got save states to work on a native port.

Also add that, yes there's a Linux version now but the Windows one works perfectly through proton on the Steam Deck too!

I thought the Ocarina of Time Render98 thing was just the person doing it for fun? Did I miss them saying they were going to release the models for use?

They have announced this partnership with Render98 on the Direct they have made a few hours ago, and they talk about the "Render98 team", so i guess that it isn't one person anymore?

Very impressive that it's running so smoothly, but after being with the original for so long, the 60fps just looks too weird to me

It's crazy how wrong this looks to me! But it is so impressive. A really outstanding effort!

This looks really weird. It's the same unsettling feeling I get from watching Youtube anime OPs that use AI interpolation for "60 FPS".

Had a quick go, it's incredible ❤️ as expected the game benefits massively from the fps bump, no way I'd ever want to go back to the original now. I love all the clever quality of life tweaks too!

I don't about y'all but when he started moving in 60fps I just about fell put of my chair. I feel like I've seen it look like a slide show for such a long time that was the only way it COULD look like. 😂

Thinking the same thing. That's like ... quadruple the frame rate!!

60fps OoT is a genuine megaton. Can't wait to see how the mod scene progresses over the next few years. Fingers crossed MM isn't far behind either!

Modding communities are the best

Looking at the 60 fps clip, it seems they fixed the animation and physics so they work correctly. There's a youtube video by ZFG in which he demonstrates what happens when you increase the fps to 60 in the N64 version. Lots of stuff breaks. For example, backflips and side jumps happen super quickly and you get no distance.

I imagine there are still tons of (minor) bugs that need to be fixed before the 60fps mod leaves beta stage.

Holy shit that looks smooth, I also like how the pickups are now in 3D instead of sprites. This is now the definitive way to paly this game.

Good lord. Using reshade CRT Royale and BFI (OLED Motion Pro) on an LG C1 is godlike stuff.

Graphics setting crash a lot when changing resolution, but other than that, its great.

If someone cares to try and improve upon it, heres the CRT Files. Just unzip and cut/paste to the where soh.exe is located.

Does Royale even work at higher than 240p resolutions?

For example, If people want to render the game at 4K (this being on PC and all...), with scanlines on top, Royale wouldn't work right?

I guess some Film Noise-Grain or regular scanlines could work well at those resolutions.

It does helps in the low res textures of the game most of all. Like when you enter the Kakariko Store. Maybe its just me, im no expert, im just sharing something i liked.
