starting at certain point in a game?

[CrimsonGuard]

Hi, My name is Marc de Ruiter, and I'm studying graphic design at an art academy in The Netherlands.
For the final project of my study I'm looking for decent pictures of Ganon, the endboss of "Zelda: Ocarina of Time". I've tried to google them, but could only find small ones of crappy quality.

My question to you guys: Is it possible to run an emulation of this game starting right at the end of the game so I can take a few screenshots of Ganon myself? This way I'll have the quality of images I need.
Or if anyone could supply me with the images I need I woukld also be very grateful ofcource!

I'm looking for this image in better quality:



simply enlarging it in photoshop also won't get me the quality I need (jpg encoding starts to show)

Hey Crimson Guard yes this is possible although might be a little difficult so hopefully the pics already posted are good enough.

What you need is an N64 emulator and the Zelda Rom and I presume you know what these are and will be able to find them yourself (It's against the rules to tell you and I don't know even if I wanted to! I'd start with google though.) Then what you need is a savestate of Zelda.

A savestate is one of the biggest advantages in emulation in that it allows you to save the game at any point regardless of if you could save it at that point in the real game. This is the hard part since it might be hard to find one saved at the point your looking for but try looking around Zelda Fan sites since they will probably have them.

You also need to make sure your savestate matches the emulator you have and for this reason you might find it easier to find the savestate first then download the emulator to match

Once you have everything you should be able to run the Rom on the Emulator and then load the savestate which will instally wisk you to the final battle. Once you get Ganon to smile for the camera you should be able to take screenshots with the emulators own functions or the Print Screen button on your keyboard will probably work.
