v1.3 Enhanced — Picto Box fixed, fast forward, .wua archives, crash reports from the app, smoother 60 fps

An update to the Enhanced fork of the Android port of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. It
brings in upstream Android port v0.6 and v0.7 and a set of fixes from the original ZeldaWWHDRecomp
project.

The APK contains no game files, no game code and no keys. It installs over v1.0, v1.1 or v1.2
and keeps your saves and settings. After updating, the first start compiles the game code on your
device again (a few minutes, once).

Highlights

  • Picto Box pictures are no longer black. The pictures the game saves and shows in the Picto
    Box now hold the actual picture.
  • Fast forward cutscenes and dialogues (new). Options → Mods → Fast forward cutscenes /
    dialogues
    : hold ZR (R2) during a cutscene or a conversation and it plays up to 4× as fast, as
    fast as your device can draw it. Every frame is still played, so nothing is skipped; text boxes
    still wait for your button. Each one is switched on separately.
  • Cemu .wua archives as a game source (new). Put your .wua file in the folder you choose
    and the app extracts the game from it, with no keys needed.
  • Crash reports from the app. After a crash, the next start offers the log in Android's share
    menu; About shares the latest logs. They now include the GPU, driver, settings and the game
    function that crashed, and game halts write a log too. No personal data.
  • Bloom strength (new). Options → Graphics → Bloom strength: from Off to 200%; 100% is the
    original game.

Smoother 60 fps (from the original project)

  • Flags and sails no longer turn into stretched polygons in the in-between frames (the Rito
    flags on Dragon Roost Island).
  • No more one-frame jumps of carried and attached things: items in Link's hand, a carried bomb,
    the boat's sail and yard.
  • Night-sky stars stay put while the camera turns, instead of jittering against the sky.
  • Menus and screen fades run at their normal speed, and the pause menu always closes.

Fixes

  • Medli missing from Dragon Roost Island or the Earth Temple after using the sword cheat: the
    cheat now equips the Master Sword and Mirror Shield without changing your story progress. A save
    already affected can be repaired on a PC with tools/savegame/wwsave.py repair-medli.
  • Crash in Tingle's jail on Windfall with quick doors (Mods → Quick doors).
  • Random black shadows for a whole session on some launches: the lighting buffer could end
    up with a level that was never drawn.
  • A fine grid around everything on the ground at internal resolutions above 1x: the game's blur
    of shadows, ambient occlusion and bloom now covers the same area as on the console.
  • Shader inputs the vertex shader doesn't write now get the value the console's GPU gives them,
    instead of undefined values.
  • Copies of depth surfaces at different resolution no longer use a GPU operation Adreno doesn't
    support for those formats.

Installing

Install the APK over v1.0, v1.1 or v1.2. New installs: see the v1.0 notes (disc image, disc key
and common.key in one folder, then Extract from your disc image…), or choose a folder with your
.wua archive.

Requirements: Android 11 or newer, 64-bit ARM, Vulkan 1.1, about 2 GB of free storage and memory.
40 fps needs a screen with a 120 Hz mode (the option only shows there).

If the app crashes, share the log it offers at the next start (or from About) with your report.
