Author: Sebastian Santabarbara
An unofficial 3DS port of *The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap* has been released, built on the open-source decompilation zeldaret/tmc, the Project Picori engine, and an Android dual-screen codebase, with development assisted by OpenAI's Codex. The port runs a legally owned EU or US ROM on the 3DS's top screen in widescreen (original or stretched) and uses the bottom screen for a live map, dungeon info, touch controls and settings, while offering visual enhancements, turbo options, native stereo audio, and built-in randomizer support.
