  1. BS Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets
  2. -------------------------------
  3. BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets was a game for the BS-X Broadcasting System add-on for the Super Famicom (the Japanese Super Nintendo). Games were downloaded from St. GIGA's satellite radio service. The game was much like a Second Quest or Master Quest of A Link to the Past, sharing a very similar overworld with slight changes and entirely new dungeons. Unlike a Second Quest however, it has an entirely new story. Various actions earned the player points, and these points could later be traded in to Nintendo for different prizes.

  7. How to Race!
  8. ------------
  9. Due to the unconventional nature of the BS-X Broadcasting System, the process to make this game raceable is non-trivial. It is in your best interest to set aside some time to set all this up in advance of any race, in case there are any problems. The directions assume you are using Snes9x, but the process should be the same across all emulators.
  10.  
  11. 1) Download the ROM files and unpack them all somewhere safe. These are the ROMs from http://bszelda.zeldalegends.net/sekibanfiles.shtml#02, with the NoTimer patch already applied for your convenience: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ym5qy4qhfid5m7/bs-zelda-ast-notimer.zip
  12.  
  13. The main problem is that the four individual ROMs rely on using the same save file to transfer progress from week to week. We could just rename the save file between games, but that is an inconvenience while racing or speedrunning the game, so we will do a little bit of work to get rid of this problem.
  14.  
  15. 2) Start up the Week 1 ROM in Snes9x, start the game, and get through the opening dialogue. This should get you far enough for a save file (.srm) to be created in your Snes9x installation folder, in the Saves/ folder. This file will have the same name as the ROM, but with a .srm extension.
  16.  
  17. 3) Open cmd.exe (I'm sorry, but it's for your own good!). Use the cd command to navigate to your Saves/ folder for Snes9x. We are going to create hardlinks to this save file with the appropriate name for each of the other 3 ROMs. Once you have a command prompt in the Saves/ folder, type the following commands (assuming you are using Windows and that the files have the original names from the zip):
  18.  
  19. mklink /H bs-zelda-ast-notimer-w2.srm bs-zelda-ast-notimer-w1.srm
  20. mklink /H bs-zelda-ast-notimer-w3.srm bs-zelda-ast-notimer-w1.srm
  21. mklink /H bs-zelda-ast-notimer-w4.srm bs-zelda-ast-notimer-w1.srm
  22.  
  23. 4) Race begins from when you select "START" on the file selection screen. Tablets must be collected from the boss of their respective dungeons ONLY. Each week contains two (2) tablets. Race ends when you get the triforce from killing Ganon. Enjoy!
