The amazing Wii U emulator (which is already capable of properly playing a good number of games) received an update today with version 1.5.6. The highly technical change log below may not mean much to you...

general: Fixed a bug where the crashlog and some other files were created in the wrong directory when launching a game from .rpx
CPU: Reduced RAM usage of recompiler
coreinit: Fixed a bug in OSSetPeriodicAlarm()
AX: Added API AXSetVoiceSrcType(), AXDecodeAdpcmData()
AX: Implemented sample rate converter for PCM16 format
AX: Implemented PCM8 format decoder and PCM8 sample rate converter
AX: Other small adjustments to improve overall sound quality
DMAE: Added API DMAEFillMem()
GX2: Added API GX2RDirectCallDisplayList()
GX2: Fixed a crash that could occur when an already running occlusion query was started.
GX2: Improved performance of surface copy operations

... but what you'll be interested to know is that it improves compatibility with a greater number of games.

Check out this video for a preview of the improvements over the previous version:

I was looking through the compatibility chart and I can't believe someone actually tested Meme Run.

bayonetta 2 ran ok on my low mid end rig - not bad at all. amazing progress to the cemu dev(s)

Tokyo Mirage Sessions does not run, sadly.

I have a i5 3500 (non k) + R9 390.. Would it be worth it to upgrade to an i5 6600?

The speed this emulator is evolving is amazing, great work.

Mabey upgrade to an Xeon, they are cheaper and mabey fit in the Monterboard socket and have a good power / Performance

SSB4 isn't working, i have a black screen.
No problem with Zelda TPHD and MK8 but smash bros doesn't work.
Do I need specials settings?

Cemu runs pretty well on my PC, but i'm just hoping for better loading times.

Vita Hacking scene is blowing up and Wii U emulator keeps evolving very fast.
What a time to be alive.

it took years for dolphin to get good audio, and cemu took just 4 months, wtf

 

[Costello]

tested two games on my old 2012 rig (Core i5 3450 + Radeon R7 200 series) and:
- Wind Waker HD runs too slow (~10 fps) sadly, but I didn't see any single bug or glitch, which is impressive
- NSMB WiiU runs flawless

 

[wangtang32000]

lovely!

 

[vayanui8]

I'm really impressed by this. I look forward to the day when games like Xenoblade X are running flawlessly at full speed. With how fast this is going, it may not even be that far off.

 

[Deleted-379826]

This is awesome! Big props to the devs they are amazing! Even though I have no need for this, neither do I have a good enough build, this is still great!

Can someone explain why fps drops horribly when leaving fullscreen mode by using alt +enter or esc? from 60 fps to 5
