The renowned Nintendo Wii U emulator, Cemu, has received an update. Version 1.13.0d is now available to the public, and can be downloaded from their official website. New features in this build of the emulator include letting users boot homebrew .elf files, along with improving how graphic and texture packs are handled by the emulator. Outside of that, multiple bugs have been fixed in regards to audio, Wiimote support, and softlocks. Version 1.14.0, the upcoming update, which is currently only distributed to a small few, makes more major changes, such as allowing for The Wonderful 101 to be playable, and getting more titles to reach an in-game state.

Excited for this, can't wait to download it and test it out!

(It'd be nice if MK8 was fixed for Polaris users, but I'm not exactly holding out hope at this point)

Have they perfected BOTW emulation yet?

What's been wrong with it up till now? From what I've seen that's one of the better-running games on the emulator, alongside Super Mario 3D World

They focused too much on botw they should call it botw emulator. Many people stopped paying into it. There is nothing great to play on it, it's the WiiU after all lmao.

That is true for sure. I bought my wii u on release thinking it would be successful like the wii, but boy I was so wrong. I enjoyed it for what it was. I hope that the virtual console it had will make its way over to the switch. That was one of my favourite features.

yea well, Wii u scene can still give us big surprises
Wii u is a great machine for emulation imo

 

[Psionic Roshambo]

I own a Wii-U and honestly I find CEMU better to play on because I have it set to use Xbox 360 controllers (too stingy to pay for different controllers for the Wii-U)

 

[Jonna]

But can Smash be played on it yet without freezing?

 

[Jayro]

Wake me up when we get a USB dongle to utilize the Wii U gamepad with CEMU.

 

[JhonSmith]

Where can i find Graphic packs for the new version?
