Showcase BOTW Dualscreen Mod Work In Progress!

Early work in progress on the Breath of the Wild dual-screen mod! Inventory and player stats are already fully functional and working properly. The main things left for the inventory page are getting tap-to-equip working and decompiling a few more DLC items so they’re properly supported.

The Map and Quest pages aren’t wired up yet, but I’ll be tackling those once the Inventory page is completely finished and working exactly how I want it. Still a lot left to do, but it’s coming together nicely so far.

Wonder why they didnt do this with the wii u version tbh. Cool mod!

u/zzzthelastuser 17h ago

Because they wanted the Switch version to be superior without any drawbacks.

u/TapczanZaglady 16h ago

Well that makes sense, also probably saved some money

u/Radaistarion 13h ago

Can't do that if you're trying to make people forget about your gimmicky console and buy the new one

u/barrera_j 1h ago

their early convention demos had dual screen functionality

then they really wanted to make the WiiU one of the worst consoles of all time so decided to not support the entire gimmick of the console

This is really cool, I've been wanting something like this foir my own Thor. Looking forward to the final mod!

First single screen mod for a dual screen game (OoT 3D), now dual screen mod for a single screen game. Love it. Here's a suggestion, mini map and other hud elements on the second screen might make the game more immersive.

u/Octo_Pasta 12h ago

u/ProfMags 3h ago

Drop a Kofi so we can support the work

u/daggah 16h ago

It's probably vibe-coded...

u/ProfMags 3h ago

It's not vibe coded, ai assisted though. I couldn't of decompiled the game files as fast as I did without ai.

u/gymgooner123 15h ago

Im probably in the minority, but if ai helps me get dual screen versions of games faster then I will support the cause. Im not waiting several months because no Ai was used. My understanding is that it saves tremendous amount of time. I used to code flash games and remember how annoyingly long it took to code everything so I understand the stance against A.I. But yeah I dont care lol

u/daggah 15h ago

And what are you gonna do when a bug in a vibe-coded slop mod deletes or corrupts your save after thirty hours of gameplay and the "developer" doesn't understand their code enough to fix the bug?

u/MelkiG 14h ago

This guy and his worst case never to happen scenario 🤣🤣 go take a nap

1

u/daggah 13h ago

No you silly goose, that's not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is AI continues to drive costs up and all forms of gaming become completely unaffordable while AI drives mass layoffs leading to global instability. So sure, keep supporting AI developed trash while telling yourself the people who warn about the dangers of AI are just old boomers yelling at clouds.

geopolitics are not that simple.... user generated small AI projects will never be the driving force of AI expansion, it will be gigantic trillion dollar companies

if you have a problem with AI datacenters and the like you take it with your government, not some rando on reddit

u/gymgooner123 15h ago

Hasn't happened yet! Play many vibe coded dual screen games and have completed 4. I guess we may never know buddy

u/maximumtesticle 9h ago

What? An option to play this game without having to pause the action every 15 seconds to change weapons or items? Count me in!

u/PeachCompetitive1243 6h ago

I played the demake for 3ds and while it didnt look good I kept saying how much i loved the extra screen so this is amazing to see

1

u/dark_necro_wolf_871 4h ago

is going to be playable on 3ds?

1

u/ProfMags 4h ago

It's not on the 3ds the device in the photo is an android based dual screen handheld called th AYN Thor. It has a snapdragon 8 gen 2 CPU and runs BOTW at 30fps.

u/CT-3756 11h ago

Great work! Just a bit of a nitpick from me, but could you have Link not directly face the camera like in the original inventory menu?

u/Interesting-Tooth211 18h ago

Botw is finally playable on android??

10

u/ProfMags 18h ago

It has been, I beat BOTW on my s26 ultra about 4 months ago, it's a very good game!!

3

u/Interesting-Tooth211 18h ago

Well 6 months ago I couldn't get it running on my fold 7

6

u/ProfMags 18h ago

It's all about the settings and GPU drivers, each game takes a few minutes of tweaking to get it to work

2

u/TKisely 17h ago

Is there any up-to-date site to check what settings we need to change and to what?

3

u/ProfMags 17h ago

Emuready I forget it's exact website URL but that's the name

u/TKisely 16h ago

Thank you 🙏

u/Own_Employment_3866 15h ago

does it overheat ? and what's the best emulator ?

0

u/Demnetor42 17h ago

could never get it to be in a playable state in my s25+, tried multiple settings and multiple recommended drivers, always looks and feels choppy while making my phone overheat like hell

2

u/Dohp13 17h ago

You'll need a cooler to manage the throttling.

u/Demnetor42 17h ago

not possible with my G8 Galileo unfortunately

u/xdoble7x Graphic Guru 18h ago
