Functioning Wii U Emulator 'Cemu' Emerges Online

4.4
For as long as there are consoles there'll be hackers and programmers attempting to reverse engineer them for emulation. Due to all of the work platform holders put into closing off their systems it proves to be difficult, and it took quite some time for the infamous 'Dolphin' emulator to make Wii games playable on PC. It's a niche area, and in the current generation the sheer difficulty of running emulation means that it's unlikely to lead to widespread piracy.

Now, just three years into its life, definitive proof has been shared of a functioning Wii U emulator, which the creators are calling Cemu. These sorts of emulators often take years to come together and even more time to optimise, and the first version of this particular example seems to be legitimate; yet based on the comments of those trying it out is far from playable or functional on a meaningful level. Those deep enough into the scene to have dump files of Wii U games have been testing a host of retail titles, typically reporting load times of multiple minutes and crashes after initial screens.
In any case, it's demonstrated to be functioning below (we're not sure how long this video will be live).

Lyttle Weird how this just emerged out of no where, awesome too see it out. May try it out!


It's not out of nowhere..Emulators are a pretty big deal actually. However, they never seem to make it very far with these new consoles. Sucks, really. I wouldn't mind spending money on games from Xbox or Playstation if I could play them on my PC.
