Known limitations
This is work in progress and phone performance varies. The Android adaptation is not evidence of a desktop release or support for arbitrary Wii mods. Back up application saves before replacing or clearing the app.

Getting started
Install the official APK and select your clean disc image inside the app; the import and preparation do not require a separate PC step. For Retro Rewind, use only the versions and data layout documented by the project, including its 6.13.x instructions.
