libultraship

libultraship (LUS) is a library meant to provide reimplementations of libultra (n64 sdk) functions that run on modern hardware.

LUS uses an asset loading system where data is stored separately from the executable in an archive file ending in .otr, which is an .mpq compatible file. This separation the data from the executable follows modern design practices and that it is more mod friendly. All one needs to do is supply a patch .otr and the system will automatically replace the data.

Contributing

LUS accepts any and all contributions. You can interact with the project via PRs, issues, email (kenixwhisperwind@gmail.com), or Discord. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md file for more information.

Versioning

We use semantic versioning. We have defined the API as: every C linkage function, variable, struct, class, public class method, or enum included from libultraship.h.
