BotW Recompiled for Windows: Wii U Breath of the Wild

BotW Recompiled for Windows runs the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild on Windows 10 and 11. The README says the PowerPC game code is statically recompiled to C++ on a Cafe OS runtime, and that Cemu's Latte GPU layer draws through Vulkan. It says the project is a work in progress and not a full-game release.
