Cemu Thread: Emulating Wii U Games
- Thread starter PGamer
- Start date
WiiU CPU is based on Power PC Gen3 micro-architecture which was also used in the Wii and Game Cube. The micro-architecture is from 1997.
I guess they learned alot from GC and Wii emulation.
fun fact: One core of the X360 CPU is the same size as the whole WiiU CPU which has three cores. 33mm² vs. 28mm²
Fully playable without issue at 4k provided you have a good CPU.
Power pc recompliation has been improving system wide selection since pearpc. Apples contract for rosetta shows how perfect powerpc emulation can be, its just a matter of time.
Finally dusted off XCX since stopping playing an hour in on the wiiu, looks amazing at 4k.
Dumped BOTW from my wiiu but yeah im waiting a bit for that, its playable but rough yet.
(using a 6600k@4.5 and 1060 6gb)

That's great to hear!How would I go about dumping it from my Wii U?
Use ddd to dump your aoc folder

How good are we talking? I'm guessing an OC'd 2500k probably isn't enough these days.
Should be fine, it works fine for me on an OC'd 3570k.

2500k @4.5 is perfectly fine.
A 6700k would do it?
Edit: Didn't read.
I need to try this. I still have Wii U games in my backlog that I'd rather play at 1440p like Xeno X.

You can just play them all at 4k instead like I do :3
Serious question ?
I feel like some people with high-end hardware are just stealth bragging for whatever reason.

what about a i5 6600 @ stock 3.5 GHZ
There's no way to dump DLC to SD cards? Not really fond of using ddd, it is really slow and I hate having to setup a network connection.

Welp, it's already playable? Alright then, will plug my Wii U back and use DDD tonight it seems.
Playable, but arguably not enjoyable. Still really slow, had a lot of gameplay issues, etc.

wow, the video exzap released made it look a lot worse that those screenshots, the grass missing just makes the game look really bad when there's nothing else going on I guess.

It's not actually playable. You can get in-game, but unless you have the unpatched Europe version, you'll be running at 5 FPS, and even then there's too much broken stuff to even leave the Great Plateau.Welp, it's already playable? Alright then, will plug my Wii U back and use DDD tonight it seems.
I would wait personally.Welp, it's already playable? Alright then, will plug my Wii U back and use DDD tonight it seems.
My us ver is 5-10 fps due to having to be in interperter mode and its missing a ton of stuff currently.

Thanks! So if I got that right since I already have the game dumped I would just run:
Code:
titledumper.exe /vol/aoc/Right?
When you say playable, what do you mean exactly? Are we talking playable as in "runs without crashing" or as in "almost as on a real Wii U"?

there's tons of stuttering as you drive around as it does shader caching
the same thing happens in dolphin unless you use the ishiiruka build. without it, im not sure i'd call it playable. everyone has different standards however

Here it is in 1.7.3

This has generally been the performance for the last few months.
That would be assuming you have never played it before on Cemu.
That video looks pretty reasonable. What the situation on those pre-loaded shader caches that you can download?

What are the CEMU dev's position regarding async shader compiling? I know dolphin devs won't ever put that in the official builds because it's contrary to their philosophy. I personally wouldn't mind as an option not seeing a shader rendered while it's compiling for the first time instead of the main thread hanging while we wait.

I have nearly that, the 4770HQ. I think the question is, does yours have a dedicated GPU attached to it? While the GPU requirements aren't high, the dev is mostly supporting AMD and Nvidia graphics right now, so Intel ones, even if powerful-ish, may be buggy.

I have an OCd GTX 860M (unlocked Bios)
Is it enough with a 3.4 Ghz 4700HQ?

You can indeed dump eShop titles via DDD. I own Zelda digitally.

Alright then, thanks guys, will wait a bit more before trying it out.
I'll probably rip it anyway tho, with 13GB it'll take like 4-5 hours so I'll let DDD do the work during the night.

oh shit
It means you can play it from start to finish without glicthes or severe framedrops.Älg;231822486 said:

You go to a reddit specified for it(can't really link since it's nintendo's IP), download the cache and put it in your shader cache folder under transferable. That's it basically.
Minor note: 1.7.3 currently is reading the transferable caches, but is not using them, causing it to get rebuilt.
Not sure if its a bug or something changed, but at least with 1.7.3b caches are broken from prev version

Perhaps more importantly, since collision detection is somewhat broken, Link can actually sink in water and open chests without having to pull them out of the water! lol

I'm going to spend some time this weekend going down this rabbit hole. I have Bayonetta 2 on WiiU that I haven't even played yet, might as well learn how to rip that and figure out CEMU.

I have a similar PC (6700K, GTX 970, 16GB DDR4 3000MHz) and BOTW runs at 4-10 fps with many long freezes in cemu 1.7.3. I probably have something very poorly configured as it's my first time using cemu.
Thank you!

There's an issue with 173b where the game doesn't seem to be able to run in recompiler which is where the main performance benefit would be.

Yeah, I haven't seen anyone attempt it though. Most graphics mods I've seen have usually been about fixing bloom issues.
*drools* That looks great.

1.7.3c released, removing the need to use the CPU Interpreter mode. Getting on average between 10-25 fps (with frequent stutters obviously) using the recompiler, but when not under load and after the shader cache has been built up, the game does hit 30 fps sometimes.
Just tried now with 1.7.3c. Downscaled from 4k and runs in the 15-20s fps.
No grass and no water for now.
