I think we'll be better off waiting for 1.7.3c
Anyway, this is another 4K screen.
Can't help but notice the same weird fuzzy effect on the edges: was this ever explained? I think SM3DWorld has it too.
Is this some kind of WiiU effect that's useful at 720 but looks like crap when blown up to 4K?

Yes, it's their antialiasing.
It's a general ingame crash, just looks like an issue with the build.
Doesn't CEMU support disabling individual shaders? Then that should be rather easy to get rid of.
Tried this...didnt work.
Only managed to get past the "open your eyes" screen without single core interpreter enabled (maintaining the performance) using cemu 1.7.3 and the game on version 1.0.0.
1.7.3b is not good for botw. I guess there'll be a 1.7.3c being released very soon to fix this issue.

Yeah, I haven't seen anyone attempt it though. Most graphics mods I've seen have usually been about fixing bloom issues.
That means I have to use a WUD dumper from the disc? The full 25GB?
Man... That sucks, it took so long to rip my Zelda disc to app format, but apparently, it's encrypted already this way.

Playing on the Switch right now, because i need to play NOW.
But, will be great with the emulator for when/if i want to replay the game. Great stuff.

I'm not familiar with disc2app. Does your dump have 'code' 'meta' and 'content' folders to it? If so, these are the regular game files and you can have Cemu load the .rpx file in the 'code' folder.
If a tik and tmd got dumped alongside the files you should be able to use cediars cdecrypt unless I'm mixing things up.
Of course
Daaamn. I'm seriously thinking about dropping my Wiiu playthrough right now, this game needs to be experienced with stable performance.
It's a good question. I know that the Switch version has several languages and you can use them by switching your system's language, but I'm not sure about the Wii U version.
For the Switch version, all languages are tied to the system settings of the console.
For the Wii U version, it was not confirmed if all languages were on the disk or not.
I don't think it looks that great either. I guess BotW is what it is. Higher resolutions aren't going to fix low-res textures and barren landscapes, but I wonder if the shadow quality could be improved somehow.
If other games are any indication, better shadows, higher resolution DoF, maybe taking away the smudgy AA solution it has... In the end with a bunch of tweaks it can possibly look damn good.

There is a good amount of grass in some areas but these screens look much better than what I see on my Switch. Looking forward to see it running more stably for replays in the future.

How is that possible... Jesus this emulator is fascinating.

Where's the tall grass? I wanted to see some beautiful 4k grass shots. lol
Is the water still bugged?

Yes, it will decrypt the app's and extract everything properly so that you can load the rpx in Cemu.

Jeez they will hit $10k soon. Crazy!
They deserve it imo

Think of BotW as Wind Waker HD on steroids. It is not a groundbreaking graphical Zelda game but a clear upgrade from WW HD keeping somewhat the same style.

Do any of the Zelda improvements also improve the quality of other emulated games or is that N64 all over again?
From what I understood so far, it might have improvements in Xenoblade as well since they shared some obscure system calls.
But it seems Zelda is a beast of it's own
Yeah, except for the pretty stylized character rendering, the game does not rely as heavily on stylized visuals as Wind Waker or Skyward Sword, so the system's limits become far more apparent. The thought of new Zelda about a decade from now, when Nintendo maybe has hardware similar to current PCs or the PS4 Pro at hand is quiet compelling, especially when watching Horizon.
Until then however, a sharp, high res image and hopefully a stable framerate would already do the game so much good. ^^ Edit: As would rendering the grass, because that's what actually makes the ground foliage halfway compelling in the game, while it hides the not so nice bare textures.
Thanks, gonna donate to their Patreon then.

An open world game will always brutally show the weaknesses of a system. There is a reason why other WiiU games had often shoe box sized levels.
It also doesn't help that like half of the entire AAA video game industry are making open world games and Zelda can't look on par to something like Horizon from a technical point.

Well, to be fair almost all of the grass patches are missing, so if anything it looks even more barren right now. 16x AF is already making things much better, as far as ground goes, though.
I have no doubt this will be a sight to behold when properly emulated.
Uh, so that's what it is! Thanks.

Whelp... Got DDD going on BotW, only about another 4 hours to go. At least I'll be ready when the time comes and the emu is at a good state with the game.

Some higher res shadows in a gfx pack would definitely help.

4K downsampled looks decent.

From a technical point and notably physics, Zelda is doing things beyond Horizon though. While it doesnt look as detailled, it certainly is a lot more interactive. Not only accounting the fact that artwise, it's also helping it a lot. I feel like this is the kind of game that will shine with CEMU, especially with IQ and shadow resolutions.

Yes, it still has emulation flaws, but it is bootable.

When Wii U emulation started getting attention, I just assumed it wouldn't be something I could run on my computer, but apparently the emulator runs well on a 970, 4670K? Was the Wii U really that far behind technically? What makes Wii U emulation farther along than say, 360 emulation (I know that PS3 has weird architecture problems)?

Good to hear. Was waiting for that.
