Decompilation progress report for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Given how fervent Zelda fans are, we'll see PC ports pretty fast I think.

"GameCube releases is completely matching"

The project can target the following supported versions:

GZ2E01: GameCube - North America  
GZ2P01: GameCube - Europe/Australia  
GZ2J01: GameCube - Japan  
RZDE01_00: Wii - North America (Rev 0)  
RZDE01_02: Wii - North America (Rev 2)  
RZDP01: Wii - Europe/Australia  
RZDJ01: Wii - Japan  
Shield: Nvidia Shield - China  
ShieldD: Nvidia Shield - China (Debug Version)  

More complicated than I thought, but I think this means GCN is furthest along?

Updated my comment there's more to it I guess.

No Wii U version.

I'm sorry there's an android version of Twilight princess?!

Nintendo got a Gamecube emulator running on the NVidia Shield, in China only. The version of TP released on it got upscaled textures - different from the Wii U HD version. Never went anywhere else. This was around 2019. I never heard of any particular difference, it was just an emulator after all.

Looking up more details - the emulator came out with TP and a couple other games in late 2017, and the upscaled textures were udpated in 2019.

Ahhh that makes a bit more sense but a cool bit of trivia at least.

I know the shield uses the same processor as the switch 1 (or something very similar), so I wondered if there was a chance of an actual native port, but then I guess we'd have also seen a switch native version in that case

Is Rev 2 when they patched the exploit that was allowing people to jailbreak their Wiis?
