About

It includes no copyrighted assets; the user must provide a supported ROM dump, from which assets are extracted into an .o2r archive.

How it differs from the original

Supports custom asset archives placed in a mods folder, a toggle for alternate assets, and graphics backends for DirectX 11, OpenGL and Metal.

Getting started

Check your ROM dump against the supported hashes, download a release, then launch soh.exe on Windows or soh.appimage on Linux with the ROM in the same folder. On macOS, run soh.app and pick your ROM when prompted. Switch ports need an oot.o2r file generated on a PC release and copied to the SD card.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (N64 version).

You need to provide a legally acquired, supported copy of the game; the project does not include copyrighted assets.

Features

You can use custom assets by placing `.otr` archive files in the `mods` folder.

How to install

On macOS, run `soh.app` and select your supported game copy when prompted.

Tab toggles alternate assets.
Default keyboard layout: X is A, C is B, Z is Z, Space is Start, WASD is the analog stick, arrow keys are the C buttons; F5, F6 and F7 handle save states.
