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.
not real or not really workable... people on discord taking about it, posting videos but clearly game speed is still 15-20fps open world (without gpufenceskip).. they are tricking the sync into thinking it is 60 fps, but BOTW is locked to 30 and the game engine/speed and timing relies on that
Yeah I don't feel the need to run games at a higher FPS then they were designed for while a higher resolution is something I can actually see as its less jaggy at higher ones.
Hence why I don't use patches like those for PCSX2 or Dolphin.
I sort of hate the fact the emulator is turning into a BoTW emulator rather than a WiiU emulator but BoTW is the only worthy game of the system in my eyes so its kinda weird.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is pretty unplayable nowadays. AKA it freezes up the emulator 30 secs after getting in game for me. So yeah I either have to either not play it or use an old 1.7.2/3 version to play it which means ram usage is going to be insane compared to 1.8+ Also Space cutscenes are unwatchable in any version. So its far from 100% playable at this point in time. AKA FPS drops to like 0.01fps and audio goes bonkers and yeah I am forced to stop the process at that point.
Yes I am using Cemuhook and nothing Helps the space videos in the beggining including the intro. The rest of the videos are perfectly fine its just those space ones that are unwatchable.
The latest version of Cemu 1.9.1 is out and it seems to work well. I haven't tested much but so far seems to be pretty solid(not a patreon anymore though). However, i discovered something today that I personally didn't knew about. It seems like a option that was introduced in previous version fixes the horrendous flickering issues in Bayonetta 2 so I thought on sharing this piece of info that I haven't heard about on the usual places with you guys that so far makes the game look almost perfect.
general: Added support for RDTSC if invariant mode is supported by CPU
general: Added -mlc <path> command line parameter to customize the path of the mlc01 directory
general: Moved some experimental settings from the debug menu to the options menu
general: Cemu will now use the local timezone for Cafe OS calendar time
CPU/JIT: emulateSinglePrecision is now enabled by default
GX2: Fixed secondary instance step value being incorrectly set in GX2SetFetchShader
GX2: Added ‘vsyncFrequency’ property to graphic pack rules.txt (see example_pack.zip for details)
GX2: Fixed a crash that occurred when a shader link error was encountered
GX2: Adjust maximum mip level for rescaled textures
GX2: Slightly optimized some frequently used GX2 API
GX2: Submitting GPU7 commands on the wrong PPC core will no longer crash Cemu
coreinit: Added API MEMSetAllocModeForExpHeap(), MEMFreeToExpHeap()
Input: Fixed a bug where keyboard special characters where always detected as pressed
Input: Improvements to input profile system
AX: Rewritten audio code. Compared to the old audio backend the following has improved:
Correct channel and volume mixing
Correct implementation of voice protection (no more playback offset randomly running out of bounds)
Generally improved audio timing (less stutter and crackle)
Correct implementation of aux stage
Accurate emulation of all AX API
Oh and it looks like Xenoblade Chronicles X works on 1.7.4+ if you use cheat engine and enable speed hack then make sure its on 1 and hit apply. AKA it no longer softlocks except for the buggy Affinity Chart which seems to be buggy even on a real Wii U. You need a large shadercache for it otherwise it still locks up. Also I seem to get an FPS drop of about 10 aka from a solid 30 down to 18-21 with dips as low as 15. 20 is perfectly playable for me tho.
Something they didn't mention about the new version apart from the great sound support is the fact that I haven't seen a single flickering issue in Bayonetta 2 and as of right now it seems flawless even at 4k which I got few flicker issues before.
Mario Kart 8 uses way less RAM now. A big improvement.
