TL;DR You can now download a working PC port of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.
The port requires the Minish Cap game ROM, though.

The setup process is pretty easy on Windows, as you download the release from GitHub and uncompress the file (as well as the resulting TAR file). From here, you place the Minish Cap ROM in the same folder as the asset_extractor and tmc_pc applications. Do note that the ROM needs to be renamed baserom.gba for the US ROM. You can then launch the tmc_pc app, and it will extract the required ROM data. This process should take 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, but the game should automatically boot up after this. You don’t need to go through the extraction process again with subsequent app launches.
