The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now fully playable in Cemu



Renowned Nintendo Wii U emulator, CEMU, is making quite an astonishing amount of progress. Team Cemu, the developers behind the emulator, which receives over $35,000 a month via Patreon, have recently released Cemu 1.7.4c, as of April 1, 2017. While you could play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at 720p on your Wii U, or even 900p on your Switch, thanks to Team Cemu's hard work, if you have a PC capable enough, it's possible to experience the latest Zelda game at 3840x2160, full 4K HD, even commonly hitting 30 frames per second. Of course, while there are intermittent bugs and glitches from being played on an emulator, as of this latest build, Breath of the Wild is fully playable, start to end, through Cemu. Not only that, but there are even custom graphic packs available to use as well, enhancing the visuals of the game even further. Of course, running the game in such a state takes a lot of power, as the video linked above utilized an i7 6700k and a GTX 1070 to allow for stable performance. Of course, you don't even need to upscale the game, though it still requires a fairly capable PC. While the latest build is backer only, the public will be able to experience Cemu 1.7.4c when it becomes available on April 9.

I'll believe it when I see it actually run that well. My PC is only slightly under that spec, and every game gets consistent and severe frame drops in CEMU just running 1080p.

(Okay, after some testing, the latest public build seems a bit more stable, but BotW still wouldn't be as playable as it is on Wii U/Switch.)

Then edit your post to reflect that. You act as if this emulator was a hybrid in the same degree Dolphin emulates GameCube/Wii

Not hard to understand what he meant. His post is fine. You're just being difficult.

I just hope there wont be a switch emulator anytime soon... I really want to get the damn console sometime in the following years.

Still have to be able to dump the games and decrypt them. I don't see an emulator coming anytime soon.

Maybe.

Makes me wonder why the wii u got a decent emulatot faster than the 3ds did... the 3ds one (citra) still strugles to run games at full fps.

Not really. Hybrid emulators do exist but if your ok with ignorance thats your own problem. Cemu doesnt emulate the Switch last I checked but feel free to correct me with sources.

A lot of the code allegedly came from Dolphin. Which makes sense, as the Wii U is just an upgraded Wii... Which was an upgraded GameCube.

Yes. You continue to defend ignorance and pretend Cemu can play Switch games when that isnt true. Want to go full circle again?

Sometimes I worry about you... Nobody is saying.. or hinting... or implying.. in any way, shape or form.. That CEMU can play Switch games.

Keep backpedaling please. Its adorable.

Yup. The comment was about BotW.. Which this thread was about... Y'know? Saying that PC users can now look down on those who play BotW on consoles. Not just Wii U. Is it THAT hard for you? Want me to go even further in detail? I can 'ELI5' it for you?

When someone says they can shit as much as they want on Wii U and Switch owners that invalidates their purchases because PC can miraculously play Switch games all of a sudden. I'm simply asking for proof on this claim but you want to dance around it and defend it. I'll wait however long it takes for you to provide the proof, burden is on you.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
