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.

Public release date: 2018-08-05

Have they made it work well with AMD setups yet? Last time i tried it even Botw ran like crap on an OC R9 390, only later to be told its basically gonna run terrible unless your using Nvidia and Intel. Honestly i just wanna try/play Xenoblade X and that SMT/Fire emblem game (id get them for my switch if they re-released, but i dont see it happening) otherwise there was next to nothing for Wii U that made it worth getting...and i owned one briefly.

For what game? I played many Wii U games on my 470 and old fx8350 with no lag what so ever. Botw doesnt like amd systems but theres many games youll run fine. I got full speed on an fx cpu ^^

Alright, so now that I've got a chance to test some games out,

System:
Intel i5 4690k @3.5GHz
AMD RX 580 4GB @1445MHz
16GB DDR3

Breath of the Wild seemed locked at a 20fps ceiling, which is strange because I had fps++ active. Not entirely unplayable, but stuttering and input delays would most likely put off anyone trying, as well as some strange shadow glitches that I haven't seen anyone with an Nvidia GPU reporting
New Super Mario Bros U ran as expected (flawlessly, locked 60fps)
Super Mario 3D World, likewise
MARIO KART 8 BOOTS NOW??? It stuttered like hell at first while generating the shader cache, but otherwise ran mostly 60fps the rest of the time. There are a lot of weird glitchy shadows in this one, as well, though; they're multiplied from what they should be and will appear on the track in places they shouldn't (for example, you can see the shadow of your racer in front of, to the sides of, and behind you, and bird shadows look like a swarm of black dots on the track)

Initially it was for Botw, but i got that with my switch and already sunk 60 hours into it. That game could barely stay above 15fps. I tried Xenoblade at the time but it was having issues and ran halfway decent but not steady. The only upgrades ive made was from my i5 3570 to a ryzen 1600, im just waiting on next gen GPUs to bother updating since nothing ive played PC-wise has really conviced me i needed to.

By real you mean?
Any other gamepad? Yes. As long as it works for PC.


No. Why would you? /s
It doesnt completely play every single game you throw at the emu yet. But the majority can be played. Just dont expect too much. Nothing beats the original hardware.

I meant the actual GamePad , the touch screen n stuff

Do these really pull in 30k consistently a month? How is that possible
