Compatibility

Use your own supported USA/Europe/Japan Wii U release. Android 11+, ARM64 and Vulkan 1.1 are documented, with roughly 2 GB storage and free RAM needed for compilation. Encrypted WUD/WUX inputs require your matching keys; WUA has its own route.

Known limitations

Android 32-bit is unsupported. Renderer bugs and device-dependent performance remain; supplying a supported disc does not guarantee completion on every phone. Do not substitute GameCube or Switch assets for the required Wii U data.

Getting started

Install the official Android package and use its documented importer with your local disc/data and keys where required. Allow first-run code generation to finish before starting play. Retain your import and save backups when updating.
