Emulation [RELEASE] Cemu - Wii U emulator

[Ruby Gloom]

That's a tricky one. They can ban the IP, and if they can detect who's using an emulator somehow, they can autoban everyone who's using an emulator, but other than that there's not much they can do, and IPs can often be changed rather easily even without using proxies or a VPN.


Why don't you believe it? It does happen.

My apologies... I misread something somewhere...

Can we have a compatibility list please? Also, can anybody confirm either Splatton or Super Mario Maker working?

Great work Exzap, I admit we were skeptical at first but you are a hero 2015 must be called "Wii U year" in history!
Btw, I take this as a proof that current-gen consoles can be emulated. Great job.

I actually just started working on one. It's here right now, I'll improve upon it later.

I can already confirm those 2 games along with many others to be working. Compatibility wise... I can't help you...

Don't expect to play anything on this. This does not replace a real Wii U and won't be doing so any time soon.

I never ever said anything about sales lol. Just giving my honest opinion

yeah i was asking "why?"....what reason is there to be sad, only thing i can think of is the fact there will be posts every day asking if "XXX works, or YYY works" or "why dis no wok my computer iz gud!"

What are you talking about? It's working almost flawlessly on my computer. Not speed wise, but the way the game looks is actually natural.

You buy them from the store, and then dump them.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I believe this needs to be said:
@Exzap, you really need to add a note to the first post in big letters saying that this cannot currently be used to play Wii U games at a playable speed or without crashing frequently, there are far too many noobs asking about compatibility and what specs they need to run this.

Lol.

Please don't pirate games. This is why Nintendo is so uptight on their System and Game securities.

Excellent news.

Also:

OVER 9000!

First of all, it's pretty much guaranteed that this isn't doing accurate hardware emulation, just approximation that can work on modern systems. This means problems will occur that the developers will have to come up with ways to overcome via hacks and optimization. That sort of thing usually takes years.

Second, there's quite a huge gap between:

A) "The game boots and manages to look normal on the splash screen."

versus

B) "20-30 hours of gameplay work flawlessly and not a single bug was encountered that rendered normal gameplay progression impossible."

It's the early days. It might look normal but it definitely doesn't play normal, that much I can guarantee you (and I'm not talking about framerate). That's always how it is with emulators. Again, don't expect this to play games without running into all sorts of problems.

Quite seriously, GBAtemp should have an auto-ban function for people with less than, dunno, 10 posts use the phrases "download* games" "roms" and such. This is getting ridiculous.

The current generation of consoles cannot be emulated. Yet. You need roughly 3x the power of any given console in order to emulate it, at a minimum. The reason the Wii U can be emulated is that its hardware specs are on par with the PS3/X360, which PCs have beaten in power for quite a while now. Of course, high-end gaming PCs cream the PS4/XOne, as well, but only by about 1.5x - 2x.

The only actual issues I've hit was crashes on loading specific data. Speed wise I think it's been outstanding. The graphics look like the WiiU loaded them, ( looks normal; no graphical glitches. ) But i've hit mounds of data the game doesn't load for some reason. Ending with a crash. I normally play around 12-30 FPS. But yes I agree there are many issues to work around.

Again, I might be wrong. Don't hold me on that.

Good job!
I actually forgot my old account info and made a new account just to congratulate such an event.

I present to you Cemu. World's first Wii U emulator capable of running and rendering commercial games!

I guess we need some fresh crow for the dolphin team. It's probably wise to never state anything is impossible.
