Quick Start

The Ship does not include any copyrighted assets. You are required to provide a supported copy of the game.

1. Check your sha1

You can verify you have a supported copy of the game by checking the sha1 hash. There are many ways to do this, one of the simplest is using the hasher-js webapp hosted at https://www.romhacking.net/hash/.

Supported Version	sha1
PAL GC	0227d7c0074f2d0ac935631990da8ec5914597b4

2. Download The Ship of Harkinian from Discord

The latest release is available in the most recent post in the #downloads channel.

3. Launch the Game!

Windows

• Extract the zip
• Launch soh.exe

Linux

• Place your supported copy of the game in the same folder as the appimage.
• Execute soh.appimage. You may have to chmod +x the appimage via terminal.

macOS

• Run soh.app. When prompted, select your supported copy of the game.
• You should see a notification saying Processing OTR, then, once the process is complete, you should get a notification saying OTR Successfully Generated, then the game should start.

Nintendo Switch

• Run one of the PC releases to generate an oot.otr and/or oot-mq.otr file. After launching the game on PC, you will be able to find these files in the same directory as soh.exe or soh.appimage. On macOS, these files can be found in /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/com.shipofharkinian.soh/
• Copy the files to your sd card

sdcard
└── switch
    └── soh
        ├── oot-mq.otr
        ├── oot.otr
        ├── soh.nro
        └── soh.otr

• Launch via Atmosphere's Game+R launcher method.

4. Play!

Congratulations, you are now sailing with the Ship of Harkinian! Have fun!

Graphics Backends

Currently, there are three rendering APIs supported: DirectX11 (Windows), OpenGL (all platforms), and Metal (MacOS). You can change which API to use in the Settings menu of the menubar, which requires a restart. If you're having an issue with crashing, you can change the API in the shipofharkinian.json file by finding the line gfxbackend:"" and changing the value to sdl for OpenGL. DirectX 11 is the default on Windows.

Custom Assets

Custom assets are packed in .otr files. To use custom assets, place them in the mods folder.

If you're interested in creating and/or packing your own custom asset .otr files, check out retro!

Development

Building

If you want to manually compile SoH, please consult the building instructions.

Playtesting

If you want to playtest a continuous integration build, you can find them at the links below. Keep in mind that these are for playtesting only, and you will likely encounter bugs and possibly crashes.

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux (performance) (requires glibc 2.35 or newer, but will be more performant than the compatibility build.)
• Linux (compatibility) (compatible with most Linux distributions, but may not be as performant as the performance build.)
• Switch
