The Wind Waker (GameCube) for PlayStation 5: a homebrew port of SwitchWaker on RADV (Aurora, Dawn WebGPU, SDL3), 4K at 60 fps. Bring your own disc image.
Release notes
Fixed
- A crash in Dragon Roost Cavern, in the rooms with the hanging platforms. It showed as the game closing, or as an error message naming
SIGSEGV, and was most likely to happen on coming back to a room after cutting a platform's ropes, including after loading a save. Thanks to the player who photographed the error message: the addresses in it were enough to find the cause.
This fix was made from that report and has not yet been confirmed on a console in that room. If the game still closes there, an issue with a photo of the error message is the quickest way to get it found.
Updating
- Replace the folder
/data/homebrew/PPSA99309/with the one in this zip, or copy the new files over it. Your disc image, saves, settings and texture pack in that folder are kept if you copy over it. - Copy the whole folder, not only
eboot.bin. - Saves from earlier versions carry on working.
Install (new)
- Unpack the zip and copy the folder
PPSA99309to the console as/data/homebrew/PPSA99309/. - Copy your own disc image (
.iso,.gcmor.ciso) into that same folder, besideeboot.bin. - Start "Wind Waker" from the home screen. The first start asks to create a save file.
- Full steps, controls and the HD texture pack: see the README.
Known limits
- Played on a console only through Outset Island and into the boss room of Dragon Roost Cavern; other areas are untested there.
- Button pictures inside dialogue text still show the GameCube's buttons.
- With an HD texture pack on, the pack's own button pictures replace the DualSense symbols; Hypatia's pack has an optional PlayStation button set that matches this mapping (see the README).
- Only the USA disc is supported.

Safety
- Stays in the sandbox
- Built by the developer
The scan found no way for this app to reach beyond its own files: no payload, no connection to the payload loader, no request to a jailbreak service.
The developer built and uploaded this file by hand. Nothing ties it to the published source.
From an automatic scan of the release file, which is read and never run. It can miss things: it is not a guarantee. How the scan works
Install
Read the release notes and the project's documentation first. Some apps need extra setup, such as a payload, configuration or additional files, and the developer's instructions take precedence over the general steps below.
- Download
WindWaker-PS5-v1.0.3.zipand extract it on your computer. - Copy the extracted
PPSA99309/folder to/data/homebrew/on your PS5, for example over FTP. - A loader such as ShadowMountPlus picks it up. Launch Wind Waker from the home screen.
