This has technically been possible for a while since these are edits to memory, but the newest version of Cemu has a built in memory scanner making it more simple to do. The HUD still stretches at its most basic, but something interesting over widescreen hacks in PS2/GC games is that I haven't seen any occlusion culling at all in any games I've tested, meaning you can get away with whatever aspect ratio you want.

....Well shit. That's beautiful.

CEMU sure has come a looong way. I'm ultra impressed.

 

[udivision]

Whoa, thats cool.

 

[oti]

This looks weird and super cool.

 

[Bluth54]

Modders do what Nintendon't.

 

[The Hermit]

Holy crap BotW looks perfect!

Is there any major glitch?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

This will single-handedly sell millions of Wii U BotW copies.

Perhaps tens of millions

 

[red731]

Sweet baby Jesus!

I need to check that thread out, but stretching the game like that - doesn't it produce some bugged out cinematics or such? Since it wasn't intended for aspect ratio?

 

[hunnies28]

Looks extremely good.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Wow, outstanding results in those screen caps.

I will probably not own a computer that can actually handle that for ages, though.

 

[Kayhan]

Jack it straight into my brain.

 

[liquidtmd]

Holy shit, the screens in the OP alone...

DKC Tropical Freeze still looks amazing, that's a pretty cool feature.

owners of ultra high ends PC are that much?

Ultra wide looks great!

 

[DooMAGE]

that's nice, but they should focus on emulation accuracy, its years behind, so bad.

 

[Stopdoor]

Looking at something like DKCTF makes me question why we haven't seen an ultra-wide 2D Sonic game. Like man, you'd think that'd work a lot more intuitively. If only Sonic Mania actually took advantage of HD Resolution.

 

[IXI FalcoN]

Are we at the point where a CEMU emulated BotW can potentially run and look better than the Switch version? Either way, very impressive.

 

[MUnited83]

Years behind what? The emulator is not even 2 years old yet, it's already ridiculously accurate for how young it is.

It has looked better for a while now. And I believe that if you have a strong enough system it runs better too.

Life finds a way.

Not even close, as I said before, the emulation accuracy is pretty bad.

 

[EatChildren]

21:9 is a magical aspect ratio.

 

[The Elite]

Yup, that ultra high end 21:9 crowd is huge.

I should look at CEMU. Looks like it works well.

 

[spons]

The system requirements aren't all that high for cemu though

 

[Kyzer]

Zelda looks cinematic af

 

[Milly Osworth]

Even at crazy resolutions Botw looks kinda fuzzy. How?

 

[Tertullian]

Oh shit, I've really gotta get on that CEMU bandwagon...

 

[ramparter]

Modders do what corporates don't.

Please tell me your only point of reference is literally the Wii U and not the actual emulation scene.

Even at crazy resolutions Botw looks kinda fuzzy. How?

BotW and some other Nintendo games employ some weird post processing anti aliasing. It can be removed but the newest version of Cemu has modified how those mods have worked and I haven't updated the fixes.

 

[DooMAGE]

Even at crazy resolutions Botw looks kinda fuzzy. How?

Blame the Wii U version. The Switch as a better internal resolution.

 

[KingBroly]

Looks a bit stretched, honestly.

 

[DooMAGE]

Nice screenshots, but as you may know, emulation accuracy has nothing to do with resolution bump.

 

[BasilZero]

Holy smokes, looks incredible!

 

[jediyoshi]

Blame the Wii U version. The Switch as a better internal resolution.

It's running at 36 times the resolution of the Wii U version, what is 3840x2160 compared to 900p? Again, it's Nintendo's built in AA method affecting IQ.

 

[nynt9]

Blame the Wii U version. The Switch as a better internal resolution.

What? Emulation lets you change the internal rendering resolution. That's the point. You keep talking about emulation accuracy, but I doubt you know what you're talking about when you say this.

 

[AwakenedCloud]

Looks a bit stretched, honestly.

It's not. If you run your mouse down the comparison pics, they match up exactly aside from what was added to the sides (and UI).

 

[MUnited83]

Even at crazy resolutions Botw looks kinda fuzzy. How?

InGame AA is terrible for anything that isn't the original resolution. There's a fix out there that removes it but I don't know if it has been updated for the newest version of CEMU.

Blame the Wii U version. The Switch as a better internal resolution.

You can literally change the resolution of the game on CEMU, that has nothing to do with this.

Looks a bit stretched, honestly.

Aside from UI elements, not really.

 

[luffeN]

That second Smash screenshot with Link, holy shit.

 

[DooMAGE]

You keep talking about emulation accuracy, but I doubt you know what you're talking about when you say this.

You know that even the SNES emulation for example there is only one emulator that has a perfect accuracy of how the original machine works, right?

You can bump the resolution to the sky and still the accuracy of how the game works is still lacking in the current version of CEMU. Everything is running with hacks and brute force like the ZSnes era.

I doubt it

 

[jediyoshi]

You're making a case for why Wii U emulation is so far ahead. Did you know Dolphin only reached full GC compatibility recently? Look at PS3/X360 emulation and then reevaluate them relatively

Gezz, compatibility is not the only factor that defines a perfect emulation accuracy -___-

You may be shocked that there is not that much of video game emulators with good accuracy.

Some people keep saying this but they have no actual evidence whatsoever that is actually "everything is running with hacks". It's always amusing to see, it's a line that that got popular when people were complaining about it being closed source but I have never seen any proof whatsoever.

Either way, it's a emulator that is not even 2 years old and has had an amazing improvement across it, makes a crapload of games perfectly playable in much less time than any other recent emulators.

Since pretty much every emulator is inaccurate, I don't see why you're complaining about CEMU inaccuracy in particular. It's just derailing the thread. Take it to the CEMU thread if you wanna whine about that. This thread is for discussing widescreen in CEMU. It's inherently not accurate to how the system being emulated runs.

it's years behind yet, or did you need to keep moving the goal posts? [;

You said it's years behind. Years behind what? Stop moving goalposts. The accuracy it already has is pretty amazing for how recent it is.

 

[zephervack]

Wonder if it would work over wider areas too like triple screen on Nintendo 64

 

[Skyzard]

Looking good!

Nice shots jediyoshi. Makes me want to give smash a go on pc.

What? Cemu does 4K.

They have a history of downplaying Cemu. It's kind of predictable at this point, and it doesn't help that they're utterly clueless.

 

[HardRojo]

It'd really be great if 21:9 were the new standard, but that probably ain't ever happening
