  • Snes9x + A Link to the Past Mod 1.0

    From the developer, Pingouin7:

    This week, out of boredom, I have created something. If you've heard of/played the fan-made Zelda: Return of the Hylian/Oni-Link Returns/Time to Triumph, this may ring a bell to you.

    What this .zip files contains:
    - An IPS patch for Snes9x 1.52*
    - The patch for A Link to the Past
    - Config file for Snes9x**
    - Icon of the program

    Now, the explanations.

    The three fan-made games mentioned above are sequels to A Link to the Past.
    What this hack means to do is give A Link to the Past a similar feel.



    Instructions:

    1- Patch your binary of snes9x 1.52 with the included IPS patch;

    2- Patch the ALttP rom;

    3- Place the emulator + config file + rom in a folder in C:\Program Files\ (Not actually necessary)

    4- Right-click on your A Link to the Past rom, go to "Opens with..." and click "Change." Select the patched Snes9x, and make sure to select "Always use this program for files of this type."

    5- Right click on the rom file again, but this time make a shortcut that leads to it. Place that shortcut wherever you want (Taskbar, Start Menu, Desktop, etc.)

    6- Right-click the shortcut, select "Change icon", then "Browse." Select the icon that was included in the .zip

    You will now have an icon on the Taskbar/Start Menu/Desktop that, when clicked, will automatically start up the game in the emulator.

    The emulator has been edited to make it feel like this was a stand-alone game, much like ROTH/OLB/TtT.

    Controls:

    D-Pad: Arrow keys
    A: C
    B: Z
    X: M
    Y: X
    Start: Enter
    Select: Space bar

    (Those of you who have played ROTH/OLB/TtT will know why I chose this control setup.)

    The rom file has been graphically edited to reflect the change to the controls.

    Example: When you receive a dungeon map, the game will tell you to press M to open the dungeon map. Same for whenever the game tells you to press A, B, X or Y.

    There were other changes made to the rom file which weren't necessary, but I thought would be nice additions:

    - The — Life — thing above the health bar has been removed, much like how it looks on the GBA version of the game;

    - The numbers that indicate the amount of Rupees, Bombs and arrows you own have been changed to their GBA counterparts;

    - Link's hair color was changed to Yellow (Because you know Link looks weird with Pink hair);

    - The inventory screen used to have big Y and A in the top left corners of their respective screens. These have been removed (Partly because I couldn't figure out how to edit them.)
