And with that I leave you with the mod :3
Why are there no screenshots or videos? And how can a brand new project have multiple releases?
Screenshots???
Uh how are you going to implement WW HD shadows on the GC version?
What's "Second Set Of Items to toggle Between"? How are you implementing "Same Lighting Engine As WWHD"? Why are you listing "Better Resolution than Wii U, Up to 8k if desired!" as a mod feature when it's a Dolphin feature? And most importantly, why isn't a single developer listed as working on retexturing? Did you take all the textures from somewhere else, or what?

I would also like to remind you to read the license of Dolphin/Ishiiruka before redistributing it. You're not including or linking to the source code in any way right now, which is illegal.
Looks like it was posted to this other forum too a few days ago.
We found the original post of this on GBAtemp, and downloaded it and did some analysis.

1. This uses Ishiiruka and not Dolphin, and relies on Ishiiruka effects instead of pure game modification.
2. This is not "the same lighting engine as WWHD", it uses Ishiiruka bloom effects to terrible results!
3. This mod uses the texture upscaler in Ishiiruka for most of it's "HD" quality textures.
4. How interesting that this HD Textures mod team has no one to improve HD Textures on it...

So most of the things happening here is adjusting some knobs in Ishiiruka and some AR codes, and packaging them and calling it an HD mod. Yay!

Now, onto the bigger things...

1. This redistributed an Ishiiruka binary without a link to the source code, which is a violation of Dolphin's GPL license.
2. You used textures from MasterKillua's Wind Waker HD mod without attribution or permission, which is not ok. Confirmed via MD5 hashes.

You are violating not only Dolphin's license, but also the work of at least one HD mod artist. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE! All links to the mod are removed, this thread is closed, and you are banned indefinitely.
