Cemu - Wii U emulator released

Straight out of left field, GBAtemp member @Exzap has unveiled the world's first Wii U emulator - Cemu.

Impressively, Cemu is already running encrypted Wii U images as you can see in the screenshot above (courtesy of @thaikhoa ). Although please be aware this emulator is very early in development as noted in the facts below so do not expect games to run at a playable speed.

Please show @Exzap your support in the thread below and look out for news on future developments with Cemu here at GBAtemp.

Exzap said:
Quick facts:

Can run encrypted Wii U images (WUD) and RPX/RPL files

Internal resolution is 1920x1080 (if supported by game)

For controller input see here.

Contains basically no optimizations. Expect slow framerates and long load times.

Windows x64 only (other platforms may be supported later)

Requires OpenGL 3.3

Tested on NVIDIA: Runs fine on most recent driver

Tested on Intel: Garbled output but runs if OpenGL version is supported

Untested on AMD
