What was done
WakerQuest is a native port of a 2002 GameCube adventure game (GZLP01) to Meta Quest 3, utilizing decompilation and the Aurora engine. It avoids CPU emulation and features room-scale ambient effects, requiring a user-provided disc image for operation.
WakerQuest is a native port of a 2002 GameCube adventure game (specifically the European disc GZLP01) to the Meta Quest 3. The project functions by compiling the game from its community-driven decompilation rather than using CPU emulation. It leverages the Aurora engine to render the game on a virtual screen, in 3D, or as a window within the user's physical environment. The project is a branch of SwitchWaker, with specific work focused on the Android platform, OpenXR integration, and custom patches for room-scale ambience. The developer reports that the project's SDK layer, run harness, documentation, and commit messages were written with the assistance of Anthropic's Claude coding agent. Additionally, some functions within the decompilation layer were completed using AI-assisted methods. The author notes that while human review and automated regression testing are employed, bugs may still persist. The software does not include any proprietary game data, requiring users to provide their own uncompressed ISO files. Further details and installation instructions are available at WakerQuest.
Reproduce it
1. Obtain an uncompressed European GZLP01 revision 0 ISO. 2. Install the APK via SideQuest or ADB. 3. Copy the ISO to the headset's Download folder. 4. Select the ISO within the WakerQuest application.
