Emulation [RELEASE] Cemu - Wii U emulator

[mustafag32g]

Aiscrim are you also working on cemu or what?

 

[XtremeHacker]

Maybe yes. Maybe no.
Some people won't let their parents to buy a Wii U because it's "worthless".
Well for me, I played Wii U games on my cousin which means I don't personally own a Wii U.
But I use Cemu just for testing crap.

But if it against the rules, then how come Visual Boy, No$GBA, DesMuMe, Dolphin, and other stuff didn't get a warning?
Emuparadise still standing except for Coolroms(RIP).

Dolphin has it in It's about page

I guess that makes sense. But what about a DX12 backend?

Vulkan API?

I asked a while back and he said DX12 would be too much work for too little benefit, but Vulkan may be worth looking into

I guess he is, he has inside information but doesn't wanna tell anyone.

I guess that makes sense. But what about a DX12 backend?

Three reasons:

• WiiU's rendering API is remotely based on OpenGL, therefore it makes sense to use a similar API on PC.
• OpenGL is multi-platform. Making ports easier in the future.
• The situations in which DX12 is faster are not relevant in Cemu. So performance is not a decisive factor. The same will probably be true for the upcoming Vulkan API.

On a side note, we are going to bump the required OpenGL version to 4.5 (latest) soon. Need those cutting-edge features.

No, the cemu developers atm are only @Petergov and me.

Thank you! i've been saying this for a while now xD

Glad to see we're getting 4.5 though, really hyped for that.

 

[mustafag32g]

what is Vulkan API :-)?

AMD's new api, like Mantle basically, but for all gpus instead

Hope exzap could add fullscreen to the next build.

Emu renders at 1080p but I get a window that looks like 720p size. On nvidia.

Will be nice to go fullscreen

Will the newest OGL version gonna increase speed?

 

[Aiscrim]

Well, I did ask what are @Exzap requirements for letting someone have the source code (that happened in a previous post of mine), but no answer yet. I'm just experimenting with the emulator and Autohotkey for now. I'm specially interested in what could become of a Super Mario Maker community around cemu.

I hope I'm not annoying anyone here.

 

[Irastris]

have the source code (just in a post here)

Hang on, are you saying you hope to have Exzap post the entirety of the Cemu source code in a single post?
Lol

Not at all. I'm not even asking the code directly. XD I'm asking what are the necessary conditions for him to trust the code to a person. Which, of course, would be handed by other means. What I meant is that the only moment in that I've asked was in a previous post of mine.

Ah, I guess I misread.

He doesn't. He's too afraid of his precious source code being used to go against his Morals™

 

[Growlith1223]

god forbid someone doesn't want to release the source to something lol

 

[jamieyello]

All in BASIC

I wonder if something like cemu could even be done in basic

He doesn't. He's too afraid of his precious source code being used to go against his Morals™

Why's that? It's not like Cemu has some kind of drm attached to it. Unlike those... *shudder* sega emulators...

 

[Gundark]

There are cases that open source is counterproductive. Once you let it go, you have no control over it. Imagine that few devs are arguing about gfx backends, whether to support Ogl, Dx11-12 or Vulkan, and everyone makes his own fork. With hacks it gets even worse. If project can't be well managed it better not be open source.

that's really nice. Good job exzap!

there is a 4 year difference going from version 3.3 to version 4.5, so it is safe to say that it will benefit the emulator.

Well no shit it'll make Cemu better.
OGL 3.3 = 2010
OGL 4.5 = 2014
4.5 is the latest version. What's these guys have been doing?
