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: | Windows 7 (x64) or above |
API: | OpenGL 4.1 (4.6 is used if available) |
RAM: | Minimum of 4GB for light titles, 8GB for most titles, at least 16GB or more for compatibility with every title. |
GPU: |

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
