However, the decision drew ire from other emulation developers. Exzap explained that it allows for quick progress and for more control of its development. Unlike other emulators, Cemu is notably not open source. Despite the Wii U sharing a similar name as its predecessor, the Wii, the emulator was built independently from Dolphin, a Wii emulator, as the systems only shared their CPU architecture in common. The emulator would rapidly progress from this state and increase its compatibility with the Wii U game library and add more features. Cemu could run on 64-bit Windows operating systems and only supported OpenGL 3.3 on release. The emulator is not related to or endorsed by Nintendo, or derived from confidential materials belonging to Nintendo.Ĭemu emulator does not condone piracy, therefore, you are required to dump your own games.ĭesigned as a proof-of-concept, the initial release of Cemu could successfully boot Mario Kart 8 and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD yet lacked Wii U Gamepad support and audio and suffered from stutters and video glitches. Though it is still under development, it is able to run certain games smoothly. It was successful at booting and running The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild soon after its release.
