ALttPR
src

1. Download the code
   • Clone/Download alttp_sm_combo_randomizer_rom

     Extract to C:\SMALttPR\combiner\

   • Clone/Download alttp_sm_combo_randomizer

     Extract to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\

2. Install some apps
   • Install Git

     Uncheck "Windows Explorer Integration"

   • Install php to C:\SMALttPR\PHP

     Edit php.ini-production and remove the ; from the beginning of extension=curl

   • Install python to C:\Python\

     Be sure to Add Python to Environment Variables

   • Install Visual C++ Redistributable (under "Other Tools and Frameworks")
   • Install Composer

     Select the PHP executable from C:\ALttPR\PHP

3. Acquire ROMs
   • Super Metroid

     Rename to sm_orig.sfc

   • Zelda no Densetsu Kamigami no Triforce 1.0

     Rename to alttp_orig.sfc

4. Run some stuff
   • Open a command-line prompt and navigate to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\ folder
   • Run composer install

     I needed to add the --ignore-platform-reqs flag to make it run :shrug:

5. Do a little clean-up
   • Be sure to have the latest stable release of the code
   • Re-extract the code repositories, overwrite all files
   • Create a folder at C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\output\
   • Create a folder at C:\SMALttPR\combiner\build\
   • Move sm_orig.sfc & alttp_orig.sfc into C:\SMALttPR\combiner\resources\
   • Run C:\SMALttPR\combiner\build.bat

     This creates your base ROM for SMALttPR at C:\SMALttPR\combiner\build\zsm.sfc

   • Copy zsm.sfc to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\input\
6. Run the thing!
   • Generate a random SMALttPR game file

     Navigate to C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\

     Run php artisan alttp:randomize .\input\zsm.sfc .\output\

If nothing blew up, you should have a randomized SMALttPR game file in C:\SMALttPR\randomizer\output\

For each new code update that you want to implement (provided you haven't altered any of the files yourself) repeat Steps 5 & 6
