WarioRecomp

WarioRecomp, by Santiago109, is an unofficial native PC port of Wario Land: Shake It!, Good-Feel’s 2008 platformer for the Wii. The game’s PowerPC code is statically recompiled to C++ with WiiCompiled, and the Wii’s video, audio, controller, disc and save libraries are replaced with native Windows code, so it runs as an ordinary program rather than in an emulator.

The author calls it a testing build: the game boots, saves and can be played, but parts of it are still untested and graphical glitches or crashes are expected. It renders at 480p up to 1440p through Direct3D 12 or Vulkan, with true 16:9 widescreen, an experimental mode that removes the side panels from levels, windowed or fullscreen display and optional frame interpolation to 120 FPS.

The sideways Wii Remote is mapped to keyboards and controllers, with shaking on the triggers and tilting on the shoulder buttons or the left stick; a DualSense can also be tilted like the remote. The launcher holds the display, graphics, audio and control settings, imports the disc, backs up saves before every start, and can dump textures and load high-resolution replacements. The download contains nothing from the game: the launcher checks the player’s own US disc and builds the port from it on their computer.
