yeah it’s bugged with every instrument, you just got lucky you didn’t run into it the first two times. you can return to the menu and try picking it up again. I suspect it has to do with the dialogue. try going through it faster or slower. alternatively you can edit your savefile. open save0 and add a line s object<whichever next highest number> instrument2:1. instrument2 relates to the 3rd instrument (it’s an index). maybe you can progress that way.

1. start the game with “editor” argument (see program.cs)
2. go into the game
3. press escape

it’s a bit complex, haven’t quite figured out how it works exactly but it’s all there

the game currently uses c# with monogame. it definitely supports different systems but since the game was only developed for windows there might be some issues. but the source is all there, if you know how to port monogame games you can do it.

I guess because gameboy games are basically z80 assembly? c could be compiled.

I mean this is a nice foundation but there’s no “swap them into this engine”. this game is a complete recreation with c# in monogame. there’s no reverse engineering or game emulation going on here. it has all the little details because the creators cared. in order to somehow get the oracle games out of this you’d have to implement everything, build the maps with the internal map editor, essentially put in all the work to make the game again. maybe they’ll do it, as far as I can tell it’s a solid engine here.

I see it, all the work, I understand it. I’ve accessed the map editor. I’ve looked through the code and I’m honestly stunned. You guys are insane. 10 out of 10. I’m assuming you guys are going back into hiding since this is gonna get deleted within hours 100%, but I just want you to know that there’s atleast one nobody out there (me) who understands the effort on display here. many open projects get a lot of recognition and fame, you guys chose to stay hidden and finish it and you handed the fruits of your labour out.
