Wind Waker HD for PS5 v1.0.0: builder kit

Choose a tag to compare

@griches griches released this 11 Oct 21:57

The first release: a builder kit that turns your own dump of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Wii U) into a title for a PS5 that runs homebrew.

There is no game in it. A recompiled port's eboot.bin is the game's own code, so no built title is ever released: the kit holds everything else, and your computer does the last step from your dump.

How to use it

  1. Download wwhd-ps5-kit-1.0.0.zip below and unzip it.
  2. Install and start Docker Desktop (Windows, macOS or Linux).
  3. In the kit's folder: ./make-title.sh /path/to/game.wux
  4. Wait 15 to 60 minutes.
  5. Copy out/PPSA99306 to /data/homebrew/ on the console over FTP.

The README.md in the kit has every step, the Windows commands and what to do when something goes wrong.

What you need

  • A PS5 with etaHEN (or an equivalent), ShadowMountPlus and an FTP server
  • Your own dump: a .wux or .wud disc image with its keys, a Cemu .wua archive, or an extracted folder
  • Docker, about 6 GB of free disk and 8 GB of memory

What works

  • 3x internal resolution
  • The DualSense's symbols on the game's button prompts, placed as they are on the controller
  • Sound, saves and save states
  • Settings on the touchpad button: frame rate, resolution, aspect ratio, controls

Known limits

  • The open island runs at 30 frames a second; 60 holds in menus and lighter scenes.
  • Only the first island has been played. Reports from further in are welcome.
  • Only the USA disc has been built. The European disc should work and has not been tried.
  • Button pictures inside message text still show the Wii U's.
  • Building on Windows follows the README's Docker commands, which have not been run on Windows.

Never share the folder the kit makes, or its eboot.bin.
