I have an i3, so this is probably gonna run like shit. I can't wait to get my new laptop now.
It'll probably still run like crap if you were to get an i7. Even Wii emulation hasn't been perfected yet, so there's no chance in hell you'll be able to get a good, stable framerate any time soon.

For those wanting a video, why not just download it and open a WUD? It's from exzap.. it's obviously real.

I have an i7 and get frequent crashes :P

Holy $h!t, it's working. By reading the title I thought it was a sort of SNES emulator for the Wii U. Then got sceptical by reading what it is.
But it works:

However, it crashes right after changing into the game itself. But the Title Banner is loaded properly and is animated

This emulator is actually starting out better than others, being able to actually load games. Going to be quite a while, but can't wait to see where this goes.

WOW VERY NICE IT CAN ALREADY RENDER 1080p!!! I want to try out wii u games on a pc for a change instead of playing the wii equivalents on dolphin or using a wii u,which i cant freely, i want to be able to play my 3ds games and my wii u games on PC, will it need a highly powerful PC? My PC can run dolphin fine at 1080p/2k/4k at over full speed. Will this be good with an i3 haswell cpu at 3.5 ghz and a asus strix gtx 960 or do i have to upgrade my pc for it? Thanks

What i want to see as well:
Wii U gamepad screen output emulation with tv screen next to it with touchscreen support (similar to nintendo DS emulators)
Options on the emulator allowing for different renderers eg. DirectX 12
This project going fully open source with a github repo :)

Also why do we have a wii u emu before we have xbox 360 and ps3 emulators that work properly?
Someone explain this to me please, is the wii u similar to the wii and the 3ds and we knew a lot about them and thats why it came so fast? Thanks

Well the Wii U structure is similar to a PC in how it shares library.... Thus gx2.rpl can be converted to x86. Only other thing is to convert PowerPC code into x86 Or in the distant future ARM. Wii And Gamecube Emu need to convert Native PPC code to x86, Simply put Wii U is Using a floating layer to put code into motion. BTW that is what I think and I may be absolutely wrong.

Absolutely amazing. I can't believe something like this is already out. We don't even have a functional PS3 emulator yet.

There currently is a working Xbox 360 emulator called Xenia https://github.com/benvanik/xenia and as for PS3, I believe that there's an emulator that only works with Homebrew.

No luck for me. Crashes all around on SM3DW, Zelda WW HD, NES Remix, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, and Monster Hunter 3. Not a single frame was drawn on my computer with cemu this day :(
