How do I play Ship of Harkinian?
Head over to our Discord and download the latest release in the #downloads channel. Afterwards, follow the readme.md file included with the download for further instructions.
We do not advise following YouTube tutorials. They're often outdated compared to our own documentation.
How do I update Ship of Harkinian?
Head over to our Discord and download the latest release in the #downloads channel.
For all platforms, extract the files from the newer version to your existing SoH directory, overwriting the old files.
When updating to a newer major release that requires a new OTR (see here for when a new OTR is required), do the following:
Windows: Delete your current .otr files and the Extract folder inside the folder you have SoH installed in. Afterwards, generate the OTR like you did when first installing SoH.
Linux/SteamDeck: Delete the .otr files inside the folder you have SoH installed in. Afterwards, generate the OTR like you did when first installing SoH.
MacOS: Delete the .otr files inside the ~/Library/Application Support/com.shipofharkinian.soh folder. Afterwards, generate the OTR like you did when first installing SoH.
Wii U/Switch: Generate the OTR on your PC platform of choice, then replace the OTR on your Wii U/Switch with the new one. Make sure the version used to generate the OTR is the same as what you're playing with on Wii U/Switch.
What do the release numbers mean?
The releases follow a pattern with 3 numbers:
The first number (x.0.0) means it's a major release with new features that requires you to regenerate the OTR. How to do this is explained here.
The second number (0.x.0) means it's a major release with new features that doesn't require a new OTR.
The third number (0.0.x) means it's a bugfix release that doesn't require a new OTR.
Major releases always have their own name which is a character's name from a Sci-fi movie. Bugfix releases follow the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, etc).
How can I get the right rom?
We cannot help you with this. You must own a legal copy of the game and dump the ROM using other software not provided by us. The ROMs we support are listed below.
What ROMs are supported?
You can check the sha1 hash of your ROM here.
Ocarina of Time Debug PAL GC (not Master Quest)
Currently the recommended option
Build team: `zelda@srd022j`
Build date: `03-02-21 00:49:18` (year-month-day)
sha1: cee6bc3c2a634b41728f2af8da54d9bf8cc14099

Our only supported retail ROM of non Master Quest.
sha1: 0227d7c0074f2d0ac935631990da8ec5914597b4
Ocarina of Time Debug PAL GC MQ
Dungeons will be Master Quest
Build team: `zelda@srd022j`
Build date: `03-02-21 00:16:31` (year-month-day)
sha1: 079b855b943d6ad8bd1eb026c0ed169ecbdac7da (Produced by decomp)
sha1: 50bebedad9e0f10746a52b07239e47fa6c284d03 (Alternate)
Is this legal?
We are not distributing any Nintendo owned IP. Users must provide legally obtained ROMs to experience Ship of Harkinian. We also have a strict no piracy policy enforced around our community.
What features are planned?
In completely random order, these are (some of) the things currently on our radar, no ETAs:
Custom model support
Custom high resolution texture support
Mod support (with scripting language)
Online functionality
Parity with other randomizers
Support for more ROM versions
Why aren't ETAs given?
This is a project done by volunteers during their spare time for free. The work gets accomplished by whoever's interested in implementing what, with a few things being prioritized as milestones for stable releases. To set deadlines would be to create unrealistic expectations that would likely never be met and cause disappointment.
Will you also port Majora's Mask?
Eventually. Work cannot even begin on this until the MM decomp project has completed. Check back in 2024.
Will you port SOH to x platform/console?
This primarily relies on someone contributing to the project the work to support x platform/console. If you think you can help us support a new platform/console please reach out!
I used save states, now things are broken!
Save states are an experimental feature and not fully supported. Use at your own risk.
Why is this project called Ship of Hark--
Enough! My ship sails in the morning!
