====Dumping the game to your PC==== | ====Dumping the game to your PC==== | ||
: | :1. Remove your Game Disc from the Wii U, Disc2App will ask for it later. | ||
: | :2. Insert your SD card back into your Wii U and if using one, your FAT32-formatted USB device. | ||
: | :: Make sure you use the correct USB port - '''do not let the Wii U format your USB device.''' | ||
: | :3. Open the Homebrew Channel. | ||
: | :(4a.) '''For CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi)''': Run Disc2App. | ||
:: | :(4b.) '''For Haxchi or Mocha''': Run Haxchi or Mocha CFW '''first''' and let the Wii U restart. After that, try launch Homebrew Channel and '''now''' run Disc2App. | ||
::* Failure to run the CFW before running the Homebrew Channel/Disc2App & other Homebrew will result in not succeeding in what you want to do. | |||

: | :5. Select either SD or USB drive to dump your game discs on. | ||
:: | ::* Again, make sure that there is 25+ GB free on your SD card/USB drive. If you're using a USB drive, make sure it's FAT32 formatted. | ||
: | :6. When asked, insert the disc for your game. | ||
: | :7. The game is dumped to <code>SD/USB:\install\[TitleID Folder]</code> | ||
: | :8. After it finishes, dump your next game or press the Home button to exit and turn off your Wii U. | ||
: | :9. Now, eject the storage device you dumped your game discs onto and access the SD card or USB device on your PC. | ||
: | :10. You can rename the [TitleID] folder of each game to the name of the game and move it to some folder you want to store your games in while playing them on Cemu. | ||

: | :2. Extract the zip and go to that folder. Copy the same 3 files from the folder into '''each''' dumped game folder (or only 1 folder if you've dumped only 1 physical game). | ||
: | :3. In each of the folders you've copied those files to, hold down CTRL and select both <code>title.tmd</code> and <code>title.tik</code>. | ||
: | :4. Drag those 2 files onto CDecrypt_v2.0b.exe which will decrypt the game into <code>Code, Content, and Meta</code> folders. | ||
If dragging & dropping does not have any effect for you, you may click in the Window Address bar and type CMD , then press Enter--bringing up Command Prompt. | |||
You may then copy and paste the following command & send. To paste, right-click in the CMD window blank space. The command is as follows: | |||
.\CDecrypt_v2.0b.exe .\title.tmd .\title.tik | |||
: | :(5a.) Afterwards, you may now delete all files in this game folder, except the folders <code>Code, Content, Meta</code>. | ||
: | :(5b.) You may now repeat the steps until you've decrypted all of your physical disc dumps.<br><br> | ||

----<br> | |||
:5. On your computer, open FileZilla. | |||
:6. From the <code>File</code> menu in the menu bar, open the <code>Site Manager</code>. | |||
:7. Click on the <code>New Site</code> button. | |||
:8. Now, you'll want to configure the settings on this new "site": | |||
::* In the Host field, put in the longer <code>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</code> part you noted down. | |||
::* In the Port field, put in the rest of the numbers of that thing you have made a note of, represented by the <code>XXXX</code>. | |||
::* Change the Encryption to "Only use plain FTP (insecure)" | |||
::* Change the Logon Type to "Anonymous" | |||
:9. Go to the "Transfer Settings" tab and click the checkbox to enable the "Limit number of simultaneous connections" and then set the amount of connections to 1. | |||
:10. Then click the Connect button and you'll be set! You can just use this site again if you want to connect to your Wii U. Make sure that it now shows folders on the right side of the program.<br><br> | |||
----<br> | ----<br> | ||

::* The <code>00050000</code> folder for Games | |||
::* The <code>0005000E</code> folder for Updates | |||

Before you transfer the files to your computer, navigate on the '''left side''' of the screen to the directory you want to store your | |||
'''Games''' for Cemu, or a '''separate location''' for storing the '''Updates/DLCs''' before you install them later. If you keep Games | |||
together with the Updates and DLCs in the same folder this will confuse Cemu, so '''absolutely do not do this'''. | |||

: | ::* This process will take a long while, hours even. You can leave the program running while you do other stuff. | ||
: | ::* Be really careful to not accidentally delete or mess stuff up! If you follow every instruction carefully, you should be fine. | ||

:16. You can now exit FTPiiU Everywhere with the Home button and close FileZilla once it's done transferring the files (when it says "Queued files" and nothing else after that on the left-bottom of the program). | |||
:17. Rename each dumped Game/Update/DLC folder to reflect what it is (like for example <code>Mario Kart 8 - Update</code> etc.). | |||
:18. For Updates and DLC's, you'll first need to install them in Cemu first before you can use them at all. Read the [[Getting_Started#Starting|update instructions]] for more info. | |||

:: | :: 1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher with your preferred method explained earlier in this guide. | ||
:: | :: 2. Run the nanddumper homebrew application. Nanddumper will not work with Regular Haxchi CFW or Mocha CFW in use, restart the Wii U if this is the case. | ||
:: | :: 3. Set the options to only dump <code>OTP</code>, <code>SEEPROM</code>, and <code>MLC(8GB/32GB)</code> | ||
:: | :: 4. Press A to begin the dump. The dump will default to the root of your SD card in 2GB chunks; 4 files for 8GB or 15 files for 32GB. | ||

:: Note: There should be 4 or 15 part files. | |||

This is a guide for everyone who has never had any contact with emulating "new generation" consoles or has forgotten how to do certain things.
Please carefully read the explanation and the needed steps! Skipping something can lead to having to redo everything!

What is Cemu?
The Wii U runs "Café OS" and Cemu emulates the system. It creates the possibilty to run Wii U data formats on a PC, e.g. dumped games.
For more advanced information about Café OS, check out this link: http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Cafe_OS
System Requirements
■ OS | ◊ CPU | ● RAM | ○ VRAM | ♦ GPU | □ Graphic API |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
■ Windows 7 (x64) or above, Windows 10 recommended. | ◊ Recommend at least 4 core 4 thread CPUs, but 2/Dual Core CPUs will work for lighter titles. Cemu makes use of up to 5 cores. | ● Minimum of 4GB for light titles, 8GB for most titles, at least 16GB or more for compatibility with every title. | ○ OpenGL - Preferably at least 2 to 6GB. | ♦ NVIDIA GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver. | □ OpenGL 4.1 (4.6 is used if available) |
■ Cemu cannot run on 32bit systems. | ◊ The higher your CPU benchmarks for Single Thread speeds/performance, the better it will perform on Cemu. | ● For AMD Ryzen CPUs, having great RAM quality will boost your CPU's performance. | ○ Vulkan - Preferably at least 4 to 6GB. Has instability issues with 2GB or less. | ♦ AMD GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver | □ Vulkan 1.0 (1.2 will be used when possible) |
■ Cemu can run on Linux with Wine. A native Linux build is planned in the distant future. | ◊ The higher you can overclock your CPU and manage its temperature, the better it will perform on Cemu. | ● The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is considered a heavy title, 16GB recommended. | ○ If you do not have a viable amount of VRAM you will be much more likely to encounter crashes or much worse performance overall. | ♦ Intel GPU: Not officially supported. Heavy visual glitches, runs best on Vulkan. | □ There are no current plans for other Graphic APIs |

Setting Games, Updates, and DLC to work with CEMU | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
StartingUpdating Games and Installing DLCsTo use your Update or DLC for a game, you must install it via Cemu's UI. Once you open Cemu, go to `File -> Install Update or DLC` and then navigate to the Update/DLC folder. Open the Meta folder and select the Meta.xml file. Using Dumped GamesIf you store all of your games in their own folders, you can keep all of the folders / games in a centralized Game Folder. Point Cemu to this folder, and as long as the games are WUD/WUX with keys in keys.txt or RPX with their meta.xml in their Meta folder, they will show up in Cemu's UI. If you do not have a meta folder / file for your RPX game, we highly suggest you use FTPiiU Everywhere to get the data so you can have the game show up; otherwise you may use a method below: Compatible Files by File Extension
