Where to Download the WACUP Preview Build

The public WACUP Preview is available directly from the official WACUP website (getwacup.com), in both x86 and x64 builds. The current public preview is v1.99.55.25130 (September 30 2026). Because it is pre-release software, the developer recommends installing it into its own separate directory rather than over an existing player install.

Download options

The site's own TL;DR lists the public preview downloads for both architectures, so you can pick the build that matches your Windows installation. The beta build is deliberately restricted to registered testers and is described as not ready for a wider audience.

How to get it

1. Go to getwacup.com and use the download link for the public preview.
2. Choose the x86 or x64 build.
3. Install it into a separate directory from your existing media player software, as recommended on the site, until the project is feature complete.
4. If something goes wrong, report it in the preview discussion forum rather than assuming the build is broken.

Things to know before installing

• It is free. WACUP is free to download and use. The project accepts donations (Patreon, PayPal, Ko-fi, and non-financial support) but payment is not required to get the preview.
• It is still in development. The preview is functional but pre-release, so issues are expected.
• Plugin-based by design. WACUP is built around a plug-in system and aims to stay compatible with plug-ins from popular classic media players. An SDK is planned for after the preview stage.
• Beta access is gated. The limited-access beta exists to avoid problems for users who don't read instructions, per the developer's own explanation.

If you just want to try WACUP, the public preview is the right entry point. If you want to test unstable builds and file detailed reports, the beta track is the one to ask about.
