The team behind CEMU has released a new version of its amazing WiiU emulator. This version fixes the visual artifacts when using higher resolutions in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and improves graphics in Bayonetta 2.

In addition, this new version of CEMU improves the loading times in Yoshi’s Woolly World, fixes some visuals in Splatoon, and adds a memory scanner.

CEMU 1.8.0 is now available to all patreon backers, and will be made available to everyone on May 30th.

Here is the complete changelog for CEMU 1.8.0:
