-
-Higher quality world map.
-
-Support for MSU audio tracks.
-
-Secondary item slot on button X (Hold X in inventory to select).
-
-Switching current item with L/R keys.
-
-## How to Play:
-
-Option 1: Launcher by RadzPrower (windows only) https://github.com/ajohns6/Zelda-3-Launcher
-
-Option 2: Building it yourself
-
-Visit Wiki for more info on building the project: https://github.com/snesrev/zelda3/wiki
-
-## Installing Python & libraries on Windows (required for asset extraction steps)
-1. Download [Python](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.1/python-3.11.1-amd64.exe) installer and install with "Add to PATH" checkbox checked
-2. Open the command prompt
-3. Type `python -m pip install --upgrade pip pillow pyyaml` and hit enter
-4. Close the command prompt
-
-## Compiling on Windows with TCC (1mb Tiny C Compiler)
-1. Download the project by clicking "Code > Download ZIP" on the github page
-2. Extract the ZIP to your hard drive
-3. Place the USA rom named `zelda3.sfc` in the root directory.
-4. Double-click `extract_assets.bat` in the main dir to create `zelda3_assets.dat` in that same dir
-5. Download [TCC](https://github.com/FitzRoyX/tinycc/releases/download/tcc_20221020/tcc_20221020.zip) and extract to the "\third_party" subfolder

-8. Configure with `zelda3.ini` in the main dir
-
-## Compiling on Windows with Visual Studio (4.5gb IDE and compiler)
-Same Steps 1-4 above
-8. Double-click `Zelda3.sln`
-9. Install the **Desktop development with C++** workload with the VS Installer if you don't have it already (it should prompt you to do this).
-10. Change "debug" to "release" in the top dropdown
-12. Choose "build > build Zelda3" in the menu to create `zelda3.exe` in the "/bin/release" subfolder

+A bunch of features have been added that are not supported by the original game. Some of them are: basic widescreen, shaders, 240 vertical res, hi-res mode7 map, MSU-1 audio, item switching, and over 30 bugfixes.
+
+## Building
+
+You must self-build for now. Steps for 64-bit Windows:
+(0) Download [Python](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.4/python-3.11.4-amd64.exe) and install with "Add to PATH" checked
+(1) Click the green button "Code > Download ZIP" on the github page and extract the ZIP
+(2) Place your USA rom named zelda3.sfc in that folder
+(3) Download [TCC](https://github.com/FitzRoyX/tinycc/releases/download/tcc_20230519/tcc_20230519.zip) and [SDL2](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.28.2/SDL2-devel-2.28.2-VC.zip) and extract each ZIP into the "third-party" subfolder
+(4) Double-click "get_python_libs.bat" in the main dir.
+(5) Double-click "extract_assets.bat" in the main dir. This will create zelda3_assets.dat.
+(6) Double-click "run_with_tcc.bat" in the main dir. This will create zelda3.exe and run it.
+(7) Configure with zelda3.ini in a text editor like notepad++
