This project was made possible by the recent ZeldaRET decompilation project. To simplify, the goal of that project was to create a program whose inputs were the game assets (extracted from a ROM) and to produce ROM output that just happens to be an exact match of the source ROM. In other words, the decompilation project re-implemented all game logic.
Dusklight is a program based on the decompiled source code that requires game assets then runs the application natively. It’s highly specialized and would likely never be used to run any other game.
I'm anxiously awaiting support for using dumps from the HD Wii U version since that's what I have in my own collection(and dumping on the Wii U is remarkably easy with the built in browser.)
That's unlikely to happen any time soon, to the best of my knowledge the files between the two are largely different enough to prevent it. The Wii version is a Maybe.
Delighted to see a "brew install dusklight" option.
Curious how this is different from a generalized emulator. Wouldn't this be able to run any GC game that used the same registers as Twilight Princess?

This isn't just a decompilation, this is a full port. Even supports Android.
