As we saw in a previous article , it is possible to install Linux-ported games on our beloved R36S (purchase link) . This time, we’ll use the decompilation of the N64 game Zelda: Majora’s Mask , which allows us to enjoy the title at 60FPS.

As usual, we can read the installation instructions on the PortMaster website.

We open PortMaster and install the port:

Options -> Tools: PortMaster  
Ship of Harkinian 2  

The only requirement for this port is that we need one of the following ROM versions for it to work correctly (yes, even though it’s a port, it still requires the game’s ROM in order to dump its content):

[
    {
        "name": "NTSC-U 1.0",
        "sha1": "d6133ace5afaa0882cf214cf88daba39e266c078"
    },
    {
        "name": "NTSC-U GC",
        "sha1": "9743aa026e9269b339eb0e3044cd5830a440c1fd"
    }
]

You can easily find them with a quick Google search: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask [USA]

In my case, I checked the SHA1 and it matched:

sha1sum *.z64

d6133ace5afaa0882cf214cf88daba39e266c078  Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask (USA).z64

If you prefer, you can use this site to check it. If the ROM is valid, it will show up in green:

If your ROM is in n64 format, you’ll need to convert it to z64. This site makes the process easier.

Copy the game ROM to the path ports/soh2/

Launch the game. The first time, it will need to extract content from the ROM. The video has been sped up for brevity:
