Splatoon is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U, and released worldwide in May 2015. The game centers around characters known as Inklings—beings that can transform between humanoid and squid forms, and hide or swim through colored ink sprayed on surfaces using gun or brush-based weaponry. Splatoon features several game modes, including 4-on-4 online multiplayer and a single player campaign.
Known Issues
As of Cemu 1.8.0b:
- Certain surfaces sometimes cannot be painted. Happens very often with moving surfaces. Can usually be fixed by dying and respawning.
- When submerged in ink, audio becomes loud and distorted.
- Menu buttons sometimes don't have text.
Configuration
Runs with default settings, but tweaking is recommended. A full list of config options is available in the Config template's documentation. There are also graphic packs available.

Was able to get past character creation screen (although the yes/no text for getting into the game isn't there still). Was able to move, but the horizontal axis is still not programmed in (also to move the vertical I had to hold the right mouse button). I was able to spray ink (which had collision and showed on the ground), throw ink-bombs, and turn into a squid. However the major bug holding me back from continuing (this was at the skate rank part where you had to turn into a squid and go into the ink to climb up a wall/ramp) was that I couldn't go into the ink. I heard from a friend that this was from GPU programming, although I haven't seen either of the two developers announce the reason so this is just pure speculation. And as for graphics, the skin is still shiny when it's not supposed to be that reflective, the textures do look okay and the shadows are also good. Also one more bug with the camera is that it'll pan down beneath the ground and thus making the character unable to move. Overall, I would say keep doing your work Cemu staff and I hope these problems will be fixed later on in a few patches!

Using a specific glitch caused by the emulator it is possible to temporarly submerge in the ink allowing to bypass the tutorial(This glitch is unreliable it may take up to an hour to complete the tutorial,recommend downloading a save). Everything works as it should avg. fps in the plaza is 5-15 w/sound and 20 w/o sound , the shops, a solid 60 fps (w/ and w/o sound) . The single player missions work, but they can crash often and the ink glitch is still present, avg. fps 20(w/sound)-40(w/o sound). None of the online stuff works, but thats to be expected.

Long loading times. Game plays, albeit with frequent stuttering and freezing. Character is unable to swim through ink, making the player unable to pass the tutorial. The camera zooms away abnormally to the point where it goes under the map. Sound effects are also very quiet.

Game works very good. The tutorial is finally possible to complete. 60 fps in all menus, 50-60 in any level. Worst FPS is about 30 in the hub area, but it is not a major part of the game. The game stutters when it only has to load something for the first time. The audio is still rather glitched, although has been improved. Turned off audio makes the game stay at high 50s, so that is a recommended compromise if you don't particularly mind no audio. Some minor visual glitches are present, for example - there's no top of an ink fountain. Other than that, an incredible jump for performance and playability of this game after only one revision!

Only working part is any part before the hub world. When entering the hub world, the game starts to slow down, then causes a crash. Restarting seems to slow down the crash, so I'll update this if I can somehow stop it. EDIT: I have been able to stop the crash, however now it runs at a low 18 fps. It also shows a ton of graphical issues when the camera pans down to the main character. Sadly the game still crashes after the news.
