The team behind the best WiiU emulator, CEMU, has released a new version of it and YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared some videos, showcasing Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Super Mario 3D World running in 4K resolution.
CEMU 1.7.0 is currently available to all Patreon backers. A public version of this emulator will be released in a week or so.
The two biggest features of CEMU 1.7.0 are: transferable shader cache and customizable graphics in the form of graphics packs.
Enjoy!

4k WOW
xenoblade looks fun.
The cemu team is really impressive honestly. I wish the xenia and psxr3(or whatever it is) would work this well.
The progress with this emulator is absolutely amazing!
Gimme compatibility with Zelda when it launches and I’m set! 😀
Good stuff, no one should have to buy this trash a*s console.
Not even if they want?
Well he said HAVE to, not want to.
I know, just teasing. IIRC Spider Said he bought a PS4 for Bloodborne.
Só whats up with that?
Finally. Bayonetta 2 was the only game on WiiU I was interested in.
Amazing progress,i hope the system requirement to play bayonetta smoothly wont too high
I wonder how much money Platinum could have made if they didn’t keep relying on platform owners for exclusivity deals. Microsoft fed them their **** recently with Scalebound.
When they aren’t doing that they are contracting themselves to work on established IPs. They’re basically game development mercenaries.
I want Fatal Frame 5 emulation on 4K .. NOW !
I wish this team or the ePSX team would make a PS2 emulator. That current one by the PCSX team is garbage even 14 years later.
This looks amazing already, I wonder what THIS emulator will be like in 14 years time lol.
i agree the pcsx2 is still very glitchy and many games still wont run properly!
and as for dolphin devs im kinda mad at them because in the last few months in their quest to make it more accurate they broke the performance in the hardest to run games like rogue leader
ikr !? I only wanted pcsx2 to play Def Jam Fight for NY and that wouldn’t run well at all…
Don’t be mad at them. They are working hard. Dolphin is still one of the most best emulators. They are working hard to get things right but to fix something it breaks others. They will fix it so don’t get mad at them for making one of the most amazing emulators.
Is this true 4k though? Last time I checked Cemu was still limited to a given game’s internal render resolution. Most of the old ‘1080p’ videos I saw were just running upscaled from the game’s native res (usually about 720p).
Apparently, the graphics customizations are being implemented now so… yeah, resolution boosts and shader caches and all that jazz!
Wait….. WAIT…. you telling me we can select 4k the same way than dolphin emu?
I thought that selectable resolution support was like 3 years away from now….
I paid the 5 bucks to cemu team and i downloaded the last build… and ohhhhhhh boy. Its a huge improvement in IQ. HUGE. Best 5 bucks ever spend. Playing tloz wind waker at 4k…. man it looks great. You just need to modify the default ini and add a some resolution lines. Google it. Is very easy
how come they are so fast!?!? it tooks almost half a decade for dolphin to be playable! what kind of wizardry those guys got!?!?
ok but when will this version of cemu released? I want to play Bayonetta 2 right now!!
When will it be avaliable to public?
FINALY BAYONETTA 2 ON PC!
So the emulator reads wiiu isos just like Dolphin reads wii iso? With version of Bayonetta 2 is the emulator running? So i know which one version of the game to download!!
