CEMU 1.15.0 available for download to backers, adds PowerPC Debugger & Configurable Graphical Overlay

9 Comments

The talented team behind the best WiiU emulator, CEMU, has released a new version of this amazing emulator. CEMU 1.15.0 adds a PowerPC Debugger that will help for the the development of patches for games, such as dynamic FPS patches (for 60FPS on 30FPS titles), and other, and adds file replacement (mod) support via Graphic Packs.

Furthermore, CEMU 1.15.0 adds configurable Graphical Overlay, meaning that the emulator can show information regarding system statistics without the use of 3rd party tools.

Moreover, it adds a debug option to dump Wii U RAM to files, adds a low battery warning for XInput wireless controllers (Win8+ required), overhauls deadzone and axis range calculation, adds button threshold setting (applies if an axis is mapped to a button), as well as support for texture format R32_G32_UINT.

As said, this new version of CEMU is currently available for download to all backers and will most likely be made available to the public in one or two weeks.

Below you can find the complete changelog of this latest version.
