Hey everyone,
I wanted to show you a little something I have been working on.
Check out this video and see for yourself.

The upcoming Cemu release will have support for native online play! I am sure you have a lot of questions, but there isn't much I can talk about yet. Everything is still in proof-of-concept stage and I just got it working well enough to play a match. Also, it's currently a massive hassle to set it up so I couldn't test more than one game. I'll update this post with more details and new videos as development progresses.

To clarify:

  • This is not the same as netplay. It only let's you play online via Nintendo's servers.
  • No miiverse support, that's a separate thing
  • In order to play online you need a Wii U with CFW (for dumping OTP and some files)
  • The account on your Wii U must be connected with a NNID
  • Only Splatoon is confirmed to work so far

PS: October 13 marks Cemu's two year anniversary since release 1.0.0!
 
I just want Gamepad audio emulation goddamn :(

My dream of playing Pikmin 3 with a keyboard and 1:1 mouse controls is gonna stay dead isn't it :(
 
So do we know whether Wii U iteration of Nintendo Network contains a built-in metaserver, or is that always handled on per-game basis?
