Compatibility
Supported source data is the USA or European Wii U version 0, without the game update. The runtime checks code/cking.rpx. A GameCube disc alone does not supply the HD game files.

The maintainer documents handheld and docked play, audio, saves, save states, touchscreen inventory and gyro aiming. Testing covers selected islands, sea areas and warp destinations rather than an independently certified complete campaign.

Known limitations
Frame rate varies in demanding sailing scenes and first-use shaders/textures can stutter. Reported clock and resolution figures describe the maintainer’s test conditions, not guaranteed results on every console.

Getting started
The Windows installer prepares dependencies and builds from your own WUA, WUX/WUD with required keys, or extracted Wii U folder. Public installer releases are not evidence that the repository supplies a ready-made game NRO.
