Documented support and independently tested compatibility are different. AllRecomps has not run these games.

Development progress

The cached README documents migration from Wind Waker Recomp to BlueWake and states that BlueWake 0.7.0 replaces Wind Waker Recomp 0.4.0; it does not establish complete-game testing.

Known limitations

Maintainers describe desktop and Apple TV versions as experimental, later dungeons and bosses as largely untested, and brief area-loading stalls as known issues. These are maintainer reports, not AllRecomps tests.

Personal Apple/Linux builds contain code translated from the user's disc; the README expressly says not to share or upload those builds.

Getting started

Provide your own USA GameCube disc image, GZLE01 revision 0. Windows accepts ISO or GCM; RVZ must first be converted to ISO in Dolphin.

Windows has a ready-made ZIP. Linux x86-64 and Apple Silicon macOS use personal source builds; the README says a Linux AppImage download has not yet been published.
