I wish i was about that ultrawide screen life, this stuff looks amazing!

 

[Permanently A]

That looks astounding. When I get my switch and zelda I think I will end up playing it on CEMU lol

 

[Mr. Phellps]

This is impressive as fuck. But it's also coming from a dev team making about 34k/month on Patreon, so this already has a much bigger incentive than most emulators...

 

[FTF]

O_0 wow...those BotW screens and video look amazing. Now I want to put in another 120 hours in 21:9 mode.

 

[Caelus]

You'll need a Wii U copy, though.

 

[Guess Who]

So what kind of horsepower is needed for Cemu at the moment?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

So what kind of horsepower is needed for Cemu at the moment?

Any decently clocked Intel i5 should do paired with any capable GPU made since 2012.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Okay this shit is glorious.

What do I have to do to get my WiiU games playing on my PC? Just stick em in the DVD drive?

 

[BigEmil]

Speaking of accuracy anyone tested audio accuracy? From hearing from those videos and playing the original version doesn't sound as good, maybe I'll test it when I get home in a week

 

[OverturePT]

Fucking hell... I'm so tempted to get a 21:9 monitor. What a perfect ratio.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

DONKEY KONG FUCK YEAH

one of my buddies just brought that game up to me the other day. ultrawide time!


I'm still disappointed there's no Gamepad audio emulation in CEMU, though. Can't play Pikmin 3 with the best possible control scheme.

 

[phanphare]

like, if they fix the hud stretch that's gonna be the way to play tropical freeze

it looks so good

 

[pretty done]

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

Perhaps tens of millions

 

[Shoyz]

I was originally a supporter of 16:10 and scoffed at the idea of trading off /more/ vertical space by going ultrawide; until I realized that I could just go bigger and get a screen as tall as my 16:10; just wider. And so I did, and it's awesome.

Definitely recommend a 21:9 monitor for everyone's next monitor purchase. Especially a high 100+hz one. Movies are amazing especially.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Wow. This shit is really crazy. Perfect FOV expansion. No occlusion culling. How the fuck can this be?

 

[Kthulhu]

I'll have whatever you're having.

 

[GamerJM]

No, you need to softmod your Wii U so you can dump the game ISOs iirc. The Wii U discs are some kind of proprietary kind of disc that isn't compatible with DVD drives.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

.

yeah except Microsoft w/Scorpio, but this is GAF, so I'll keep MS praise to the absolute minimum.

 

[AdropOFvenom]

Won't lie, that looks awesome.

 

[Vuze]

So dope. I will envy 21:9 screen owners even more once the UI stretching gets fixed.

 

[de_reddy]

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

Can somebody provide more information on this? I tried googling, but haven't found a thing.

 

[BigEmil]

Scorpio supports ultrawide resolutions?

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Scorpio supports ultrawide resolutions?

I might have been getting ahead of myself in stating outright that it will. I thought I had heard that somewhere but I can't find any supporting information. Some of what I've heard about Scorpio has me feeling like that wouldn't be too much of a stretch though

 

[Dynomutt]

Curious why the mid gen refresh of consoles has not allowed variable resolutions to include UW. I love this aspect ratio. Scorpio is admittedly getting close with Freesync support.

 

[Durante]

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

You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?

 

[Maintenance]

So you were wrong. But poor MS though, leave them alone.

 

[HardRojo]

What does this being GAF have to do with anything?

 

[Huge Succeeded]

I can live with that summary

What does this being GAF have to do with anything?

Don't worry about me and my shitpost, I'll take the loss and show myself out

 

[The Lamp]

There's not really a straight answer in this thread. Is BotW fully and smoothly playable on CEMU or not? Not just the plateau, I mean the whole game?

 

[MTC100]

Holy crap BotW looks perfect!

Is there any major glitch?

There's not really a straight answer in this thread. Is BotW fully and smoothly playable on CEMU or not? Not just the plateau, I mean the whole game?

The game still needs a very powerful machine(mainly a very strong single core cpu performance) to maintain 30FPS from what I've heard plus there are graphical glitches and artifacts happening here and there from what I've seen also don't expect 30fps at all times even with insane rigs.

 

[dragn]

how about this

:3

 

[MUnited83]

You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?

The only thing he has done in this thread has been trying to school people on the basics of emulation and avoiding very simple questions with condescending "you just don't know anything about emulation" posts lol

 

[DMONKUMA]

Just ignore doomage they constantly do this type of trolling shit.

Anyways this all looks goddamn good.

 

[MTC100]

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

I don't think that's how it works, Cemu takes the games "information" and increases the internal resolution up to 4k or more if you like and then downsamples it to 1080p or whatever your resolution is. The WiiU and Switch version use the same assets and textures so there is no real difference besides performance -and the performance is up to how powerful your PC is in case of Cemu(or how far the developers of Cemu can optimize it).

 

[Chao]

All three people with 21:9 sets rejoyce!

 

[jwhit28]

If I use an Ultra Wide resolution on a 49 inch TV, about what size Ultra Wide display would that equate to?

 

[Mihos]

this question hurts my head

Well, it's not like the game is able to maintain 30fps on WiiU/Switch anyway.

But yeah, currently BotW still needs more optimizations from CEMU. I've heard the game is now almost glitches free in the new 1.8.0 version.

 

[dragn]

i think 46.5

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Yeah.... This is why I'm waiting for Cemu instead of playing BOTW (which I own) on the Switch (that I also own). Using consoles at this point is an inconvenience when I have a system that is exponentially powerful sitting right next to it.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Can somebody provide more information on this? I tried googling, but haven't found a thing.

I would like to know too! Imagine Starfox on this setup!

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I already showed examples and articles, take your time to read before claiming I'm just "downplaying" something.

Serious question because I'm really confused.

I'm pretty savvy with emulators and the mechanics of them. While accuracy is nice for preservation the goal of an emulator is to play games on something other than the original device. Often at higher resolutions, with better textures and post processing and other additional features.

Given that a game like Mario Kart 8 is perfectly playable at 21:9 rendering at up to 10K internally with higher resolution shadows, AA and a reshade preset to pop colours and add things like DoF and post processing on an entirely configurable basis at 60fps without issue. Given that that is true, What part does "accuracy" have in this conversation.

How would the processes being performed by CEMU improve what is already a flawless experience? It might be neater from a code stand point but it's likely going to require even more processing power and the upside is what? The game plays exactly as it does now or worse?

It seems really dumb to be bringing up shit like this when the end result currently is jawdropping.

 

[jwhit28]

i think 46.5

I kinda found an answer.

Fun Fact: A 40" 4k display ran as an ultrawide will have a higher resolution and a larger screen than an actual 34" 3440*1440 ultrawide display

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Grabbed some quick pics, still tweeking my reshade preset since it's built more for BotW

 

[Yiazmat]

Looks great

 

[Vital Tundra]

Seems to stretch the UI.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Seems to stretch the UI.

Yup, That's normal. It can be fixed with texture replacements but on a per game basis. It's not the end of the world in most games.

Widescreen code hacks alone can sometimes cover the stretching of UI as well

[Spladam]

This is glorious. Cemu is advancing at an astonishing pace.

 

[RS4-]

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?

Cutscenes and what not are probably still 16:9 or whatever the ar is originally.

So black bars.
