Legal ROM notice

HomebrewPort does not provide, link to, or condone piracy. Dusk requires a ROM dumped from your own legally purchased copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for GameCube. Use tools like CleanRip on your own Wii to extract the ROM from your physical disc, or download the ROM from the link provided in each install guide.

Dusk Android v1.0.1 Update Notes

Dusk Android v1.0.1 added Files app access to Dusk data, an Open Data Folder option, crash reporting, and fixes for Adreno alpha discard, initial pipeline cache copying, default controller mappings, and gyro aiming. Update Dusk Android before troubleshooting old storage or graphics problems.

Android Requirements for Dusk Android

Use a capable Android phone, tablet, or gaming handheld with enough storage and a supported controller if you do not want to use touch controls. Dusk Android is most practical when you can easily manage local files and test performance after each change.

Download the Official Dusk APK

Download the official Android APK from the Dusk releases page. Do not use repacked APKs, ROM bundles, or unknown app stores.

Prepare Your Twilight Princess ROM Legally

Dusk Android requires a ROM dumped from your own legally purchased GameCube disc. You can also download the ROM from the link below.

Install the APK and Grant Storage Access

Install the APK, open Dusk once, and grant only the storage access needed for your own files, saves, and user content.

Move Files with Android Files App

Use the Files app or the Open Data Folder option in Dusk Android v1.0.1 to place user-owned files where the current release expects them. If the default Files app hides Dusk data, try the Files app recommended in the official release notes.

Pair and Test a Controller

Bluetooth controllers are the simplest Android starting point. Test camera, movement, and the GameCube-style Z action before long sessions.

Finish your Android guide setup with safe enhancements

Once your Android guide install works without mods, compare Dusk texture packs, read the Dusk mods index, and keep the original clean setup available for troubleshooting.
