Just noticed that the tool Hookshot to recompile Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake on Switch 2 to PC does not exist anymore: https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot I was doing backups every few days, because I feared this would happen. The last release from it is on my drive at version 2.1.0. Not sure if uploading it to Internet Archive is worth it.

Now some new fork has appeared, called Longshot: https://git.magicbean.dev/MagicBeanDev/Longshot It’s also not on Github anymore, so taking it down is harder. They claim (it very well be true) that previous maintainers continue this new fork:

Longshot is a continuation of Hookshot. The top maintainers have moved to this project.

My first instinct is to be skeptical. There are bad actors out there taking advantage of popularity of such tools, and the desperation of people wanting a working alternative. So what I will do is, wait a while, and then if this is legit and works well, start archiving it. They also have a very Ai designed looking website: https://longshot.magicbean.dev/ I’m not entirely against Ai, despite its core problems. Just wanted mention it here.
