A Deltarune homebrew port for the Wii U and Wii was created by Ventura Carpena, a game developer, composer, and homebrew developer from Westbury, New York, known by the pen name Ventura J.S.C. The app functions as a launcher for a Wii-mode SNES9x emulator that runs the fan-made Bound to the Dark World ROM hack of EarthBound, recreating Deltarune Chapter 1 in its entirety. It was released on November 12, 2025, via a dedicated thread on GBAtemp, a demonstration video on her YouTube channel (which had garnered nearly 2,800 views and 172 likes as of November 16), and a teaser post on Twitter. Installation requires a legitimate copy of EarthBound (patched via a BPS file from itch.io), extracting files to an SD card in a specific directory structure, and installing a WAD file for Wii or a WUP file (plus WAD) for Wii U via tools like Wii Mod Lite. Carpena strongly emphasized an anti-piracy stance in the release notes and legal disclaimer, stating it is for educational purposes only and under fair use. As of November 16, 2025, the GBAtemp thread had over 320 views but no user replies or reported issues.
