v0.1.0 beta (Windows)

First public beta of a native Windows port of Wario Land 4, built from the decompilation of the game's C source.

You must supply your own legally obtained, unmodified Wario Land 4 (US/EU) ROM. No game data is included. The launcher checks the ROM's MD5 (see the README) and rejects anything else.

Status: beta. Tested through the opening levels, two bosses, Hall of Hieroglyphs, Wario Hop and save/reload. A full-game playthrough has not been completed, so some stages and bosses are unverified. Windows x64 only. Saves are mGBA-compatible .sav files stored in %APPDATA%\wl4.

Known issues: see KNOWN_ISSUES.txt in the zip.

Licensing note: parts of the upstream decompilation have an unresolved licence status (an MIT licence was removed upstream without explanation, and a few upstream contributions have unclear provenance). The research is ongoing. This release includes no third-party artwork; the launcher uses a generated icon and a public-domain font.

Unofficial fan project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo.
