The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild feature

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild already runs as good on the PC as on WiiU and Nintendo Switch

The team behind the amazing WiiU emulator, CEMU, have released a new version of it and YouTube’s members ‘Jolu42’ and ‘YamGaming’ shared videos, showcasing the game running at almost locked 30fps.

As we can see, there are some framerate drops to 20fps under various scenarios. The good news here is that both the WiiU and Nintendo Switch versions suffer from similar framerate drops. As such, the CEMU version is currently running as good as the original versions.

Moreover, the CEMU version is perfectly playable in 4K. Thanks to this resolution improvement, the CEMU version looks way better than the WiiU and the Nintendo Switch versions.

While it will take a while until CEMU will be able to run this game at 60fps, we expect its next version to run it at stable 30fps.

Enjoy the videos!

        1. if it isn’t on your platform you are not suppose to play it
          or buy the supported platform idiot

          1. Wrong, you can buy the game, without owning the platform, and legally emulate it.

          2. no one buys games to emulate they all torrent fact also the game which come in cartridges are likely to not work

          3. That’s rubbish, many will pirate the game, but they would never buy the console, if they couldn’t. Some who emulate, will also own the console, as well as the game, but want the higher resolution and textures available on PC.

            The fact you claim everyone pirates the game is obviously false, I don’t claim to know any numbers, but it only takes one, to kake your statement wrong.
            I’m sure the CEMU devs own the games, if not the console.
            Plus the ones releasing the cracked versions, will own it.

            Simple fact is pirates don’t buy games that aren’t cracked, they just play something else.

    1. I believe every single news article on DSOG should contain such comment, you know, as a matter of precaution. An advertised comment if possible.

    2. why unless you buy the game just to emulate it is illegal and you are a f***king pirate
      this is a recent game so yes emulation does hurt the industry

  1. That second video looks incredible. It’s a pity that Nintendo’s great games are so heavily gimped by their awful console hardware so props to the Cemu guys for saving the day.

    Cemu does what Nintendon’t!

  2. These c*nts always say this with games, and then you try it and there’s loads of stuttering and bugs. The idiots still haven’t even got Bayonetta 2 at playable levels.

    1. Shader cache loading is always Achilles heal of cemu.

      Unless you have all shaders pre-installed, playing games I cemu sucks . Until you’ve built up that directory of them, it’s just no fun you play anything

        1. I meant try developing an emulator. You called the dev’s idiots but you fail to understand that these things take time. You can’t expect smooth performance quickly. These things take years.

  3. I talked to the youtuber and he was running stable 4k even with the 1.7.4 Cemu patreon build. Even with a gtx 1080 you can’t get it to run like he does. There’s some trick that he ain’t sharing.

  4. unless you buy the game just to emulate it is illegal and you are a f***king pirate
    this is a recent game so yes emulation does hurt the industry

    1. A whole year? Whoa! O_o That’s extreme…I’m waiting for the double lucky 7 version (v1.7.7) and I’m in…should be coming later next month, or early June. Can’t wait ^^

  5. Amazing achievement right here. But I’m so confused, why is it that Nintendo sends out a C&D letter over fan projects based on their franchises but never towards those actively working on emulators? Especially when it’s exploiting one of their newer, more precious titles. It’s not necessarily pirating but so aren’t fan projects like the Metroid 2 (AM2R) remake.

      1. I figured it would be sharing identical codes from the hardware itself but I guess that makes little sense :S
