Emulation [RELEASE] Cemu - Wii U emulator

[TJHeartnote]

Anyone tried splatoon yet?

 

[TecXero]

Well color me daft. I was sure the rumors of a Wii U emulator were just some hopefuls falling for someone's scam. Nice work, OP.

 

[Maximilious]

Very cool, would like to see if the code could be integrated into Dolphin at some point in time. It's unfortunate that games are all shifting to online required anymore, especially for games like Splatoon and SMM. I just couldn't justify playing either of those titles in an emulator.

 

[RikuKawai]

So it was legit...

 

[ryanjf97]

Wow, this is pretty impressive. I'm gonna give it a go on my GTX-960 in the morning

 

[GaaraPrime]

This is AWESOME!

My happiness of getting a GTX 970 just increased TENFOLD

 

[Whizz]

Exciting times. I'll do some testing later!

 

[SMVB64]

Absolutely incredible, I'm in a lost for words!
Looks like I'm making that windows 10 partion sooner then expected haha. Got to try this

If there's not a scene release, you cannot play it, and as far as I know, nobody's released a WUD for Splatoon.

Hardly a work of art, but here is a screen recording of NES Remix kind of working :

My computer is over 5 years old, so others may have improved results.

For those interested if their computers are comparable, it probably is.
Windows 10
AMD Phenom II x4 965 black edition (Quad 3.4 gHz)
12 GB DDR3 RAM
NVidia GT 450 (1 gb)

The videocard is a bottleneck for the computer, but at the state of emulation it's probably good enough.
Pretty much any Intel i5 or greater released in the past few years is most likely better as well.

Where can I get WUD files? I only found a page which offers .iso-downloads, and as I read, ripping the game isn't possible...

Cemu can also open wud, wux, wad, iso and rpx format.

There is a scene release: Splatoon_EUR_WiiU-ABSTRAKT

 

[GaaraPrime]

I think my system is more than capable after watching this Windwaker HD video...



My system is almost similar VERY MARGINAL DIFFERENCE. Check my sig for specs

CANNOT WAIT! TOO MUCH PUMPED

I present to you Cemu. World's first Wii U emulator capable of running and rendering commercial games!

Quick facts:

• Can run encrypted Wii U images (WUD) and RPX/RPL files
• Internal resolution is 1920x1080 (if supported by game)
• For controller input see here.
  
• Contains basically no optimizations. Expect slow framerates and long load times.
  
• Windows x64 only (other platforms may be supported later)
• Requires OpenGL 3.3
  • Tested on NVIDIA: Runs fine on most recent driver
    
  • Tested on Intel: Garbled output but runs if OpenGL version is supported
    
  • Untested on AMD

Download:
Version 1.0.0 (Win x64)

FAQ:
Can the controller be configured?
Not yet, it's locked to using the GamePad via keyboard. Proper controller support will come in a future release.

Can I run extracted games?
No, when launching a Wii U executable directly (.rpx) no external files are supported. If you want to run a game, it needs to be in raw dump format (WUD or ISO).

Is there supposed to be sound?
No, audio is not yet supported.

What's next?
The current plan is to release new updates at least every two weeks. A more detailed roadmap is in the works.

When do you think a linux version will be released? And where is the source code?

You should put up the code onto github when you feel it should be up there. Many people can help contribute and help iron out bugs. That and git can help with merging old code when needed. Cheers.

There's no reason for people to support this emulator until it goes open source, we should never ever support closed source emulation.

 

[MichiS97]

I got 3d "gameplay" of windwaker HD Thanks for your hard work guys.

Wind Waker doesn't work for me, just freezes at the boot animation.

That is how splatoon looks like:

wasn't dolphin closed for 5 years too?

Impressive work thus far. I was very intrigued when I heard about this project, but I’m quite disappointed to see that you’ve chosen to dissuade other experienced developers from contributing by keeping it closed source (myself included). I hope you change your mind on this in the future, both for the success of your project and for the advancement of the Wii U reverse engineering & emulation efforts.
