Wii U Emulator Cemu Can Now Play Super Mario 3D World [Nearly] Fullspeed on PC
- Thread starter PGamer
- Start date
Do you go into Roku/Android box threads and complain about piracy? Should those things not exist because people can use them to steal?

Yeah because this is early. At the rate this thing is rapidly expanding we'll be forcing AA and playing 1080p Mario Kart 8 in a years time.
So this is not about resolution now, isn't it? Like it isn't about framerate either, seeing how it struggles to run at 60 fps.
Must be some other reason ...
At least by then the game preservation thing will probably be somehow legit.

I think it's worth discussing the effect that emulating a current generation system has.

This is a work in progress. People are excited to see progress. Should I go home and take a picture of the game I own so you can stop being passive aggressive about it?

Because emulation is ok. Pirating your games isn't. If you emulate your games (using an emulator that is legal to download and run) then the assumption is you're not breaking the law and pirating your games. Just like the assumption in every other topic is you aren't stealing your games. Do you want everyone posting in threads to show their receipts for the game they are talking about?
Now, if you enter an emulation topic and ask "Hey, where can I download free Wii/PSP/DS/Wii U/PC games?" then that's bad. Same if you are linking to BIOS or roms or isos. Those are things you should rip yourself.
Then there is the murky area or downloading a rom or iso for a game you own but can't rip. Legally it's a no no but morally I don't think anyone would flip out if you downloaded a rom of Sonic 1 to play on your megadrive emulator when you have your copy sitting in the case on your shelf but can't rip it yourself ebcause you don't have a retron or something else that can rip the game.
Didn't really seem to effect the Wii. It still sold a shit ton. Maybe effected third party support but then it's hard to tell if that was because it's a Nintendo system, it's underpowered, it was seen as the "family" console and everyone just threw shovelware minigames at it and wanted to compete with Wii Sports.
To play in full HD with shitty mods using my steam controller
It will get there. Stop fishing.
Do you think everyone is going out to play every emulated game ever at every emulator update?
Most people wait for emulators to be stable with IQ and slowdown issues before using them. Nobody's going to rush to use this emu because one game is working okay.

Oh I'm sure lots of people do, but they must be in the vast minority.
In any case, current gen emulation seems completely whacked out - is the bump from native 720p to up scaled 1080p going to make a vast difference? I could see the difference Dolphin made in resolution - but is it really the same with Wiiu?
I'm waiting for 4k Tropical Freeze.
You can make your own thread if you want..

It's not upscaled, you're changing the actual rendering resolution and it makes a HUGE difference.
You're entirely welcome to post your thesis. I don't think it is supported by any data whatsoever.
Do you go into every Dolphin thread and shitpost?
I have a Wii, Wii U, and a copy of Xenoblade. I play that shit on Dolphin, along with my other games, same goes for my gamecube.
Piss off with that nonsense of why people want to emulate.
Everyone needs to provide photo proof of the games they own along with receipts before people stop being idiots about it.

Maybe I want to play my copy of bayonetta 2 in a few years at a higher res and not have to dust off my WiiU?

Yes! Not playing more than four hours of Xenoblade X will now work in my favour

I watched the video on a small screen, so forgive me if this is wrong, but something looked off? Perhaps with the lighting and Cat Mario's textures? It's been forever since I played the game, so perhaps I'm simply misremembering.
To be fair by the time this is at an acceptable level for release the Wii U will be done with.
Still early with texture and lighting. But seeing that it's at a good framerate is a good thing for the emulator.

Can't wait till you can run this beauty in 4k with all the bells and whistles turned on!
1440p or bust. Doubly important especially as Nintendo doesn't really give a shit about IQ.

How is preservation not legit? Because the emulator is made now instead of later? They're going to be continually working on it for the next 10+ years based on the previous emulators.

They need to start banning people who equate Emulation to Piracy. They derail every single thread on the subject and are just ill-informed, ignorant and a plain nuisance.

That lighting is incorrect, right?
I hear you. It's OK because there is a community out there that appreciates this work and do legally dump their own games.
There is nothing wrong in pointing out this will directly allow pirates to jump on their work and use it for their own ends, the numbers of which (purely anecdotally) outweigh those of those who pay money - take the time to dump
It must get annoying for the enthusiasts to hear the piracy argument in every thread as it feels like being tarred with the same brush but equally, it's the double edged sword of their field of interest that they have to accept. This emulator allows Legal Game Preservation + Piracy in the same breath.
Tricky topic. Personally I side with the enthusiasts and it's very satisfying to take the time in the area. I've learnt much about coding from studying emulation but I'm not blind to outsider appeal.

Why??? Is Nintendo supporting the emuletion or something? Why their opinion about emulation has to be banable? Explain please... is their opinion and he is not trolling... You have to respect that.
144fps too, just kick dirt in their faces.

.... And now I need to upgrade my computer for 4k Bayonetta 2...
Can't wait till someone calls me a pirate, guess it's time to start taking pictures of my games to shame them into shutting up.

The progress on this is nothing short of amazing (I kind of wish it applied to platforms I care more to emulate).
Actually, let's not derail an emulation thread with piracy talk, a topic which is entirely orthogonal to emulation.
No you don't. His opinion is basically "everyone else is lying" which is pretty shit tier opinion wise.
Yea it still has a way to go but it's still pretty amazing how far this has come after seemingly coming out of nowhere.
Lol if you're going to cause a ruckus, at least know what you're talking about.

To be fair, 3D World released in 2013. But yeah, once you are used to anything at or above 1080p it's hard to go back.

If I walk into a PC thread and say you're a bunch of pirates nobody on PC buys games would that be alright?

Anyway, on topic, This is impressive. I look forward to future progress and getting stuff sorted out. Like the lighting or something was off here. It's running good though. I can't wait till it's at the level of something like Dolphin where it exceeds the original hardware. After getting into Pokken I really want to see that in a nice, high resolution. Though there might not be much to be done about the effects and background objects if the assets are low resolution.
Because it like port begging. Does nothing but shit up the thread.
You can check, I don't. I didn't shitposted here either, I just dismantled some fantasy reasons that don't really cover it. Not now.
Dolphin is emulating a system that is officially dead, if we talk about game preservation, that's a big difference.
But I won't "ruin" the thread anymore, as obviously any opinion that it's not fitting to yours is shitposting, as opposed with your quality posts.
