Project Picori is a native port of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android, built by 999sian from the zeldaret decompilation of the game. One build supports the US, European and Japanese versions and reads the graphics and sound from your ROM.

It has builds for x86-64 and ARM64 on each desktop system. It is a work in progress: most of the game runs, but expect bugs.

The download contains no game data. It needs The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (USA, Europe or Japan), dumped from your own cartridge.

## How to set it up

1. Download the build for your system and extract it, or install the Android APK.
2. Put your ROM next to `tmc_pc`, named `baserom.gba` (USA), `baserom_eu.gba` (Europe) or `baserom_jp.gba` (Japan).
3. Run `tmc_pc`. The first launch extracts the asset cache from the ROM, which takes about 3 to 5 seconds.
