# tlozla

Static recompilation of the **original 1993 mono Game Boy** Legend of
Zelda: Link's Awakening (USA, Europe Rev 2) into portable C, built with
[GB-Recomp/gb-recompiled](https://github.com/GB-Recomp/gb-recompiled).

Unlike its DX companion ([GB-Recomp/tlozladx](https://github.com/GB-Recomp/tlozladx)),
**no community decomp exists** for the mono cart — alexsteb's 2018 dump
is a one-shot disassembler pass with no build system, and the 2020
Gigaleak is off-limits. So this is a raw recomp: function names are
`tlozla__func_BB_HHHH`, not human-readable.

## Required ROM

This build is locked to a single revision:

| Region | Revision | Filename in the wild | MD5 |
|--------|----------|----------------------|-----|
| USA / Europe | Rev 2 | Legend of Zelda, The - Link's Awakening (USA, Europe) (Rev 2).gb | `69d643bf4e37b3c133518517338b6a1c` |

The asset loader verifies the SHA-1 on first launch and refuses to run
on any other dump.

## Build

```sh
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . -j$(nproc)
```

## Run

```sh
mkdir -p roms
cp '/path/to/Legend of Zelda, The - Link’s Awakening (USA, Europe) (Rev 2).gb' roms/tlozla.gb
./tlozla
```

First boot extracts the ROM into `assets/tlozla/rom.bin`; the source
ROM isn't needed after that. Press Esc for the runtime menu.

## Notes

- The cart advertises SGB support (header byte `0x146 == 0x03`), so it
  runs in SGB mode by default with the cart-supplied border.
- 512 KiB ROM — half the size of LADX. MBC1.
