Wii U Cemu Emulator now runs Mario Kart 8

4.5
Over the past two months the Wii U's Cemu Emulator has evolved a great deal, moving from just a buggy and almost non-functional start up to a emulator that can actually play the games of a current gen console.

The First game to be made entirely playable by the emulator was Shovel Knight, a game which is not terribly graphically intensive, but an impressive feat for such a new a emulator regardless. Since then the Emulator has been made to play better with AMD GPUS and has moved to a state where a few popular titles like Mario Kart 8 are somewhat playable.

Cemu Version 1.1.2 release notes;
- Added controller options
- Added support for OSCoroutine API
- Improved shader emulation
- Improved texture/depth/color buffer management
- Improved CPU timing and thread synchronization
- Synchronous file operations no longer block CPU execution (reduces frame stutter)


Graphics Card Compatibility;
NVIDIA GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver.
AMD GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver.
Intel GPU: Visual glitches but runs if OpenGL version is supported.
