Randomizer - CLI

For alttpr

Requirements

• Zelda no Densetsu - Kamigami no Triforce (Japan).sfc
  • checksum 3322EFFC
  • the examples all assume this file is in your current directory.

• An internet connection.

What does it do?

This is a node based version of https://alttpr.com/en/daily. It functions in the same way. The patch comes from alttpr.com, is applied locally.

Configuration of heart color, quick-swap, sprites, and more have been reproduced in the script.

Daily patches are generated by scraping the alttpr.com Daily page, retrieving current rom hash, the base patch, and the daily hash. From there we can request the daily patch.

Sprites and patches are downloaded on demand into the current folder.

With npx

Download the daily patch;

npx github:loadedsith/alttpr-cli update

Build the daily rom;

npx github:loadedsith/alttpr-cli build [params]

For more settings:

npx github:loadedsith/alttpr-cli --help

With npx

First install into your current directory

npm install github:loadedsith/alttpr-cli

or globally with -g

npm install -g github:loadedsith/alttpr-cli

Then use

alttpr-cli update
alttpr-cli build [params]

global installs will have alttpr-cli everywhere, where local installs will have it only in the installed directory.

With Git

Clone the repo;

git clone https://github.com/loadedsith/alttpr-cli.git

Bash:

cd alttpr-cli
node run.js update
node run.js build [params]

Config

About using environment vars

Sprites Dir

A custom sprite directory may be supplied to updateSprites.sh through the environment variable ALTTPR_SPRITES. When not present, this defaults to the node execution directory + '/sprites'; $INIT_CWD/sprites.

This folder is created when not found.

Roms Dir

A custom rom directory may be supplied to alttpr-cli.sh through the environment variable ALTTPR_SNES_ROMS. When not present, this defaults to the RetroPi default rom path; /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes.

Default build flags

Custom build flags may be supplied to alttpr-cli.sh through the environment variable ALTTPR_BUILD_FLAGS. When not present, this defaults to build with a random sprite; "-t random".

RetroArch

alttpr-cli.sh is a non-interactive shell script that pulls the latest daily and builds a rom. It assumes your 3322EFFC rom is named "Zelda no Densetsu - Kamigami no Triforce (Japan).sfc" and is in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes. It will use a random sprite.

Customization can be applied to ~/RetroPie/retropiemenu/alttpr-cli.sh after installation.

To see the new rom restart EmulatorStation after each run. This should be done automatically, but it is worth noting.

SSH in to your Pi.

ssh pi@[your pi's ip/host goes here]

Install node.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Install the script;

cd ~/RetroPie/retropiemenu/
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loadedsith/alttpr-cli/master/alttpr-cli.sh

Reboot EmulatorStation.

Run from the RetroPie Menu.

Sprites

Updating: Reinstall the package to pull the latest sprites.json.

See the official spite gallery.
