Additional Setup Information

The Ship of Harkinian uses a proprietary versioning system consisting of a sci-fi film character followed by a phonetic alphabet code word. The film character represents a major release version which increments with the addition of many new features and bug fixes. The code word represents a minor release version which increments with small updates mainly comprised of bug fixes. For example, DECKARD ALFA.

Windows Rom Extraction

• Open OTRGui.exe, and select one of the supported roms listed above, to generate the oot.otr archive file.
• If a second button already exits then oot.otr already exists. To prevent overwriting the old oot.otr use this button to choose a new game directory. The new directory must not already contain an oot.otr to prevent an error.
• When the process completes, place oot.otr beside soh.exe if it is not already.

This packaging process can take up to 5 minutes.

Close the OTRGui when the Done! message appears. If you get another message, then you might have selected the wrong rom. Make sure to use a rom consistent with the above checksum.

Linux Rom Extraction

• Place one of the supported roms in the same folder as the appimage.
• When you run the soh appimage, it should begin generating the oot.otr archive file.
• When the process completes, place oot.otr in the same folder as the appimage, if it is not already, then run the appimage.

The packaging process can take up to 5 minutes.

If you get any errors, then you might have selected the wrong rom. Make sure to use a rom consistent with the above checksum.

MacOS Rom Extraction

• Run soh.app, and when prompted, select one of the supported roms listed above.
• 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.

The packing process can take up to 5 minutes.

If you get an error saying Incompatible ROM hash, you have selected the wrong rom, make sure the checksum matches one of the ones listed above.

Nintendo Switch Rom Extraction

• Download the latest PC release of the Ship of Harkinian, and follow the instructions above for generating the oot.otr archive on that platform.
• Place the .nro and the oot.otr archive into a folder called soh in your Switch folder on your Switch

Nintendo Wii U Rom Extraction

• Download the latest PC release of the Ship of Harkinian, and follow the instructions above for generating the oot.otr archive on that platform.
