SM3DW still has shadow issues on 1.4.1?
Still the same as the Patreon Build.

Another thing!

Super Smash Bros 4 and Hyrule Warriors are still the same. Only shows FPS. No images.
Genei Ibun Roku #FE got "loading..."
Nothing on DS Virtual Console(like Pokemon Diamond).
No changes on Pokken Tournament.
Rarely got 80FPS on Splatoon loading screen. :D But you still can't swim faster in Squid Form.
NES Virtual Console is still the same.

That's all the negative part.

@Miguel Gomez Do you know if the next Patreon version will have the ability to toggle between the gamepad display and the TV display and not have to hold the Tab button? It'd be nice for games that you can play gamepad-only.

Or is this on the table of plans, @Exzap?

Well let me clarify some points:

My game server machine was made by 2009.

It uses a:
KFN5-D SLI
2x CPU opteron 8222SE 3.0GHz
2x Cooler Zalman CNPS9500A
8x 4GB ECC 333mhz memory = 32GB (16GB per cpu)
1x EVO 840SSD
2x GTX480 SLI
1x 1000w real power SLI power sup.

The machine is okay and runs Assassins Creed Syndicate at very high FPS in high settings.

I did some test and set the machine with 6GB and 8GB as CEMU 1.4.0 CANT use more memory than it.
Results was the same from 6GB no change at all, with less memory it has some drops..

So, I try to remove 1 GTX480, same result, there is no game improvement with SLI.

I know that the machine setup is old, but the dual proc can match game performance on new I7, some friends has doubt on this performance but they come over and saw it working... so, machine is old but okay...

AFAIK seens that CEMU runs better on SINGLE core performance settings or max of 3 core usage.

I did not record any video on CEMU, but I can shot some...

Try running some games from a ramdisk it maybe quicker than your ssd.

I hope so. I really hate to play Wind Waker HD with separate screens. I really love to play it on the gamepad itself.

But I have a very good trick to hold the gamepad screen and this is really basic.
Find a heavy object and put it on the Tab button. If using the laptop, there are two options:
1. Shove any flat surface(like a nail file) to the Tab button
and
2. Place a hard small rock on the Tab button.

That's all and very resourceful.

Yeah, might have to resort to that for now. I find playing WWHD is nicer on the gamepad, as well as MK8, which will be nice once I can dump it and the DLC from my Wii U.

For those who want to autoboot a game in fullscreen just change the paths on the code and compile this script as an .exe with autoit. Now you can use it on Steam as a launcher. To close emulator just press escape. Replace "cemuScript.exe" with the launcher.exe name you give to the file.



Code:
#include <Misc.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
    Run    ( '"C:\Jogos\Emuladores\cemu_1.4.1 Patreon\Cemu.exe" "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "C:\Jogos\Emuladores\cemu_1.4.1 Patreon\" )
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ALT down}{ENTER down}{ENTER up}{ALT up}")


    While 1
       Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndIf

Func Terminate()
    ProcessClose ( "Cemu.exe" )
    ProcessClose ( "cemuScript.exe" )
    Exit 0
EndFunc

If you'd like to create costum .exe for each game just change the lines as it shows in this sample:

Code:
If $CmdLine[0] == 0 Then

Run  ( '"C:\Jogos\Emuladores\cemu_1.4.1 Patreon\Cemu.exe" "C:\Jogos\Isos\Wii U\Super Mario 3D world (US).wud"')
Enjoy

I tried to play Mario Kart 8, selected the character, stage, and it crashes when it's loading the track.
Oh and I got a random blackscreen in my computer for few seconds.
I have a R7 250 GPU.

Ok so I found what was making it so dismally slow - I had all logging enabled and it was totally killing emulation speed. I seem to be getting some decent FPS and it's all good now.

However, Cemu doesn't seem to be detecting my generic USB controller that would be perfect for the Wii U gamepad layout. I'm not sure if it's because I need Logitech-specific drivers though, so I'll try installing those first.

Edit: Okay so it's not detecting my Logitech Dual-Action USB controller at all, which is really annoying. The buttons it has are perfect, but I can't make use of it because Cemu won't recognize the controller. Is this a known issue?

Try using this:

So here is the pack : http://www.mediafire.com/download/p7riydty34oyl3z/cemucontroller.zip
I added support for xbox 360 controller. To use this pack, extract it, copy the settings.bin file located in the cemu folder into your own cemu folder (backup the old one if you want) and open wiimote.pie or xbox360.pie with PIEFree. Then, click on start and wait...
If you are using a wiimote, make sure you have bluetooth on your computer and click on 1 and 2 until it displays only one LED.
With the xbox 360 script, I inverted the A/B X/Y buttons, to do like on the wii u controller. And to display the gamepad, click on the right shoulder. The right stick can be used as a mouse and a click on it is like a mouse left click.
Enjoy !
Edit: I made a mistake, download this http://www.mediafire.com/download/gkekvymc1ql9f4n/xbox360.PIE and replace it

@LitchiTheCat made a script that binds Xbox360 controllers to keyboard inputs. Maybe it works for your controller as well.
It rebinds the buttons on your controller to be represented by keyboard keys. It might work directly with one of the profiles he's premade (e.g the Xbox360 profile), or you might find a profile online for your gamepad specifically. Anyway, just open a profile in the program that's included in the .zip, and press Run.
Go into Cemu. Select input device as Keyboard. And use the gamepad to set the keys. When it asks for D-pad up, and you press D-pad up on your controller, it'll show up as a keyboard key (like "K" for example), this is correct. Fill out all the keys, and you should be set.
Works like a charm for me, and even lets me use all the triggers on the Xbox-controller (they don't work natively).

PS, in PIEFree, before you press Run, you can edit and save different inputs. Like, you can set them to different keys, if you want to.

I've just tried MK8 with the New Release 1.4.1 and AMD Radeon 7700. I do not see any difference towards 1.4.0.
Does someone have some hints for setup the AMD Radeon 7700 to improve the frame rate?

so i got these PC's :

AMD FX8320e : AMD r7 260x : 8 gigs : windows 7

&

Intel i5 - 4670k : GTX 970 : 8 gigs : windows 8.1

&

Pentuim core-duo e5700 3.00 ghz : radeon HD5450 : 3 gigs : windows 10

which of these would have cemu success , i pretty sure what the answer will be i guess im more curious about the performance of the lower machines ...

I'd like you to do 2 tests:

1. Try the latest Cemu version with the same CPU and the three different GPUs. With this, we would measure the impact of GPU performance on the emulator.

2. Try the latest Cemu version with the same GPU on the three different CPUs. We would measure the impact of CPU on the emulator.

From the 2 quotes, I would prefer the Intel i5 with GTX970. Make sure you run it as High Performance NVIDIA processor(which can be found if you right click Cemu and Run with Graphics Processor).

But there's a catch. If you ever use Integrated Graphics, Cemu will open as Intel GPU.

HD 7870 here, I have noticeable gains comparing to 1.4.0c, like 30-40%. Drivers are Radeon 16.3.1. Also CPU is i5 3570k.
