Wii U Emulator “CEMU” Updated – New Videos Released

Wii U Emulator

The emulator scene has always been one of my favourite things to follow. Even if you don’t download them, I think there’s something endlessly impressive of getting other systems games running on PC, or on other devices. It’s a great way of keeping older systems alive for many years to come. Now the team behind Wii U emulator CEMU has released version 1.15.6 to their Patreon backers. The public release will be on May 10th, so don’t worry if you’re not a backer.

What’s New?

Most of the tweaks this time around are on the back-end. There’s a fair bit of housekeeping that removes deprecated options. There’s also an improved UI system, and more options and stability improvements too.

Release Notes

• Reworked UI and removed deprecated options
• Experimental menu is gone and RDTSC is now always on
• Removed support for conventional shaders (always use separable shaders)
• CPU timer mode is now always ‘host-based’
• Added UI to configure game profiles (accessible via right-click on an entry in-game list)
• Includes option to set controller profiles (#17)
• Added tooltips for some of the settings
• Implemented HIDWrite()
• Use packet maximum size provided by device instead of a fixed value
• Accuracy tweaks in HIDRead()
• These changes should improve support and increase stability for Skylanders and Lego USB portals
• More tweaks to MEM2 heap size to fix Lego games (#48)
