I played around with a very old AMD processor to determine if CEMU is capable of running the game on older machines in its current state. I was fairly successful: The game runs at 10-15 FPS in the overworld and 20-30 FPS in shrines, with occasional drops of 2-3 frames during periods of high activity. I optimized the game's performance to this level by first closing all CPU-intensive background programs, enabling the GX2SetGPUFence hack with CEMUhook, and changing my 3D Settings for CEMU in the NVIDIA Control Panel to their recommended values (Multi-display setting= "Single display performance mode" , Power Mode= "Prefer maximum performance", and Threaded Optimization= "Auto"). The games runs, but is completely unplayable, without these tweaks. Performance also seems to be somewhat improved by going into Task Manager's "Settings" tab and setting CEMU's Priority to "High", but this MAY possibly reduce system stability and result in occasional crashes after 2 hours of gameplay. Performance shows no noticeable improvement when using the "No AA" or Reduced Resolution Graphics Pack and it takes a hit when using any High Resolution Graphic Pack.

My hardware monitor shows that the GPU is barely utilized at an average of ~30% during gameplay while the CPU is consistently utilized at >80%. Obviously, the CPU is bottlenecking performance and is not powerful enough to run the game optimally in the current version of CEMU. Although I somewhat doubt that the game's performance will ever reach an acceptable level of playability with this CPU, I will revisit the Athlon II X4 645's performance in future CEMU updates.}}

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U video game consoles. It is the 19th release in the main The Legend of Zelda series. The title's gameplay and mechanics constitute a departure from the series' conventions, featuring an open-world environment, a detailed physics engine, high-definition visuals, voice acting, and the ability to play through the game's dungeons in any order. Announced in 2013, the game was initially planned for release as a Wii U exclusive in 2015, but was delayed twice prior to its release on 3 March 2017. Breath of the Wild was a launch title for the Switch, and the final Nintendo-produced game for the Wii U.
The game loads and works fine, but when you try to get into the actual game (that is, create a game or load a game) the emulation continues but you can't press anything. It doesn't really crash though.
The game runs at an average of 15fps outdoor, and up to 30fps indoor, with some texture glitches, and some heavy lags. The water doesn't have any physics effect. Magnesis doesn't work. Game freezes/crashes on certain events/loadings.
The game runs at an average of 20fps with hard lag spikes regularly interrupting gameplay. Have had no crashes so far, but random graphics cover the screen upon activating the first Sheikah Tower.
The game has know bugs, with AMD graphics card there is strange texture glitching from NPCs. By using CheatEngine and setting CEMU to run in speedhack mode game is playable, even though fps counter on emu is showing low numbers.
The game runs at an average of 15~25fps outdoor, and up to 30fps indoor, with some texture glitches, and some minor lags. The water doesn't have any physics effect. Magnesis, Stasis and Camera runes doesn't work. Using RamDisk and hook for h264
Not very playable, it lags during frame drops to 1 fps when landing after jumping and during lighting effects (e.g. striking something with a weapon). Glowing outlines from chests is offset quite a bit, not noticeable with other reflections. Using the 540p graphic pack has no noticeable improvement.
Perfect 30 fps in a lot of areas. Busy areas it fluctuates between 23-27, with no drops lower than 20 in villages. Other than some minor lighting bugs and softlocks, the game seems to be fully playable.
Runs great! Rarely doping frames in the overworld, used external FPS limiter to prevent speed-ups indoors, Cemuhook plugin provided a significant (30-50%) fps increase, 8GB DD3 RAM @ 800Mhz + page file on SSD, infrequently requires a reload or crashes
Getting crashes nearly as soon as the game starts/loads. Even in the rare cases where it does not crash immdiatelly, I can only enjoy 5-10 FPS, and that for 10-30 seconds before a crash is certain. Serious rendering issues, hard to see anything besides the playable character. Problems persist even with Affinity option enabled, CheatEngine speedhack activated and Video drivers updated.
Setting the game FPS limit to 5, and running cheat engine with a 4.5x modifier, the game runs perfectly. This is with GPU Fence turned off in CEMU. Prevents the speed up and slow down (rubber banding)
Requires just about every trick you can find (use those config settings above!) and messing with NVIDIA Control Panel, but after all that it runs at a mostly consistent 30 FPS outside and at a weird 50-60 FPS in the shrines. Working on fixing that last one.
It is playable during the not-too-dynamic periods. Heavy framerate drops during battles. No relevant glitches, but the pre-renderized scenes are replaced by colorful screens.
FPS is around 20-30 in the world, once in rooms, it's 60 fps, but game is VERY fast, like speedhack. Rare stuttering, but freezing sometime. Game is updated to v64. Cemu HOOK been used.
FPS is around 17-20 Seems to be pretty stable except when encountering new shaders. Inside shrines the FPS jumps up higher. No crashes in over an hour of play with only 1 soft lock right outside Ja Baij Shrine. While playing, total CPU usage was at about 39-40% and total RAM usage was about 50% Values seemed to be fairly stable. Tested with identical settings, shaders, and save file on 1.7.4d and only noticed about a 1 FPS increase on 1.7.5. Both tests were done standing outside of Ja Baij Shrine. EDIT: I was getting 14-15 but then I realized that the FenceSkip toggle wasn't set in options and once I enabled it FPS jumped to around 20.
This is using a speed hack, 24GB ram, SSD. There is a stutter every 5-6, minutes that last maybe 1/2 a second at most. The CPU & GFX card are super old in comparison to most on here. once the speed hack is used, the game is very playable. Without the speed hack I get 10-15 fps.
FPS: 5-7 outdoors, 7-10 indoors. Sometimes fps drops to 1-2 on certain actions (ex:when aquiring the slate tablet) or while hitting enemies in battle. The 360p, 540p and no AA graphic packs don't help much, only about 1 fps or so. 8GB DDR3 RAM, HDD 7200rpm and 16GB virtual ram (pagefile).
Perfectly playable, can play for hours on a stable constant 30 FPS (Think the game caps it at that as Shrines jump to 60, so have to disable fence skip for it to drop to 30, as it runs at double speed) Have the odd crash here and there, but few and far between.
Usually runs at 15 FPS. but may drop to 10 in a few areas and go as high as 20 in other. Am using CEMUHook with both affinity to physical cores and Fence skip hack enabled. Without, it runs at 10-12 normally. Also, after meeting the king, almost all the textures in game returned colourful, small, square, boxes. It will also periodically crash every 2 or 3 hours of playing, seemingly regardlesss of where. Input is a DS3 controller with Xinpu drivers. Also seem to consistently crash when Hestus does his work. 16GB DDR4 RAM,
Using a speed hack to have the game running decently. Without the speed hack, the frames would usually be around 5-12 fps. Generally the game plays very smoothly, unless I'm in a town or an area with a lot of things going on on screen (like heavy snow and enemies). I've had some issues with textures appearing glitched after cutscenes, and occasionally the game may start glitching with sound effects resulting in it repeatedly playing random sound effects like water splashing, fire crackling, and the horse's cry. These get fixed whenever I close out of the emulator and start the game back up. I luckily haven't had the game crash for me too often. I think it only happens when the game tries to summon an object into existence and fails. I have Cemu and the game stored on a HDD, and I have 16GB DDR4 RAM.
