Note: This repository does not include any of the assets necessary to build the ROM. A prior copy of the game is required to extract the needed assets.
Note: Be sure to use git clone --recursive https://github.com/blawar/ooot.git when cloning the repo for the submodules.

MattsCreative has a great video tutorial on how to compile this project here: https://youtu.be/swv1Tv-kjsU
The current main contributers of this project are blawar and DaMarkov
Python 3.10 Add to path during the install
Git Choose x64 Build and Use the git bash to clone the repo and to run setup.py
Visual Studio Community 2022 During setup click C++ development
Visual Studio 2019+ is the only currently supported build environment, and only the 32-bit X86/WIN32 build
You must use the ZAPD that is included with this repository, and not the main branch as it is modified.
If you are using the EUR PAL 1.0 retail rom,
make Sure baserom_original.z64 or baserom_original.n64 is inside \ooot\roms\PAL_1.0\ If it's not the correct "hash_md5": ["c02c1d79679f7ceb9a3bde55fff8aa13"] it won't extract the assets and continue.
Open Git Bash Type git clone --recursive https://github.com/blawar/ooot.git let it run.
After it's done type cd ooot and if you have the rom placed in the location above
Run this command next to extract the assets from the rom (baserom_original.z64 must exist in the directory)
setup.py -b PAL_1.0
If you are using the EUR Master Quest Debug rom.
make Sure baserom_original.z64 or baserom_original.n64 is inside \ooot\roms\EUR_MQD\ If it's not the correct "hash_md5": ["f0b7f35375f9cc8ca1b2d59d78e35405", "8ca71e87de4ce5e9f6ec916202a623e9", "f751d1a097764e2337b1ac9ba1e27699"], it won't extract the assets and continue.
Open Git Bash Type git clone --recursive https://github.com/blawar/ooot.git let it run.
After it's done type cd ooot and if you have the rom placed in the location above
Run this command next to extract the assets from the rom (baserom_original.z64 must exist in the directory)
setup.py -b EUR_MQD
Open OOT.sln, you will find this in \ooot\vs make sure Debug - Win32 or Release - Win32 is selected, then hit build.
Once the build completes, press F5 to start it if you are testing code but if you are compiling to play right click oot on the side and click build.
Not currently supported, however a makefile and porting of GLideN64 would allow this and a PR is welcome.
