Your own Wind Waker disc (GameCube, USA, GZLE01), Windows 10 or 11 and a Vulkan 1.1 GPU.

About this project

Recompilation of the GameCube Wind Waker: it translates the DOL to native C with a runtime that maps GX to Direct3D 11. It renders real geometry at 60 fps, but is still stuck on the title screen (JKRArchive mounting).

What you need

Your own copy of The Wind Waker (GameCube, US version GZLE01).
