Linux Setup Guide

Step 1: Downloading the Ship of Harkinian

Note: This is the code that will interact with the Assets required in Step 2. This does NOT provide you with any Nintendo Licensed Assets…

Click here to go to the releases page on GitHub, where you will find the links for all latest versions of Ship of Harkinian. Find and click the link that has Linux in the name. We recommend trying the performance build first.

Extract the Zip file into a Folder on your Local Hard Drive for later.
Note: Do NOT extract this to a temporary or a cloud drive location, things will break.

Step 2: Obtaining a ROM (Legally)

Follow the steps outlined in ROM Dumping Guide to legally obtain a usable ROM for the Ship of Harkinian.

The ReadMe file included with the download mentioned in Step 1 lists out the CRC/SHA1 Hash and a website to verify your version. Incorrect versions are not supported and you will see an error or the game will not load similar to the below screenshot:

Step 3: Extracting the Assets and Launching Ship of Harkinian

Assuming you correctly followed the instructions in Step 1 and Step 2 you are now ready for the last process.

Open the Folder you extracted from Step 1 and copy the ROM you created in Step 2 to this location.

Launch the soh.appimage file.
Note: You may have to `chmod +x` the appimage via terminal.

Locate the ROM that you dumped in Step 2 and double click it to begin the Asset Extraction process.

Asset Extraction will begin and the oot.otr will be generated. This will happen silently in the background. Once it has completed the Game will automatically launch.

Note: If you are performing this operation for use with a console platform, please continue on to step 3 for either Nintendo Switch or Wii U guides.

Congratulations, you can now play Ocarina of Time on the Ship of Harkinian.
