Multicore Recompiler

Cemu's Multicore Recompiler was introduced in Cemu 1.11.3 and is a few options of Cemu's CPU Mode setting, a CPU setting that tells Cemu how many phisical CPU cores/threads to emulate the three Wii U CPU cores on, the default and currently the most stable setting for this option is Singlecore-Recompiler

Feel free to add or edit games on these lists as games status changes and cemu grows.

Modes

There are four diffrent modes you can choose from.

• SingleCore-Interpreter: This setting emulates one of the Wii U's 3 CPU cores while being very accurate. Because of th is it is very slow and should only be used for debuging and testing reasons.

• SingleCore-Recompiler: This setting also emulates only one of the Wii U's 3 CPU cores. It is less accurate but is much faster and still stable. It is cemus default option and some games need this to not crash at some points or even boot.

• DualCore-Recompiler: This setting emulates 2 of the Wii U's 3 CPU cores. By doing this it is currently less accurate as the feature is still experimental, however it is also signifigantly faster then Singlecore-Recompiler in some games. It can cause issues in some games such as not booting, or crashing at some points. You need a 4 core/thread CPU in order to run this option without performance loss.

• TripleCore-Recompiler: This setting emulates all 3 of the Wii U's CPU cores. It is the fastest of the options but also the most unstable, it has the same proporties as Dualcore-Recompiler however you will need a 6 core/thread CPU to run this option without performance loss.

CPU Usage Precentage

This chart shows the aproximate CPU usage precentage you will see while runing any given CPU mode.

• This is the precent CEMU will use, this does not include any backround task or OS usage, expect thse to very up or down about 25% depending on game or game area.

CPU Mode	Dualcore/4 threads	Quadcore/8 threads	Hexcore/ 12 Threads	Octacore/16 threads
SingleCore-Interpreter	100%    /      75%	75%      /      37%	50%      /      25%	37%      /      18%
SingleCore-Recompiler	100%    /      75%	75%      /      37%	50%      /      25%	37%      /      18%
DualCore-Recompiler	X       /      100%	100%      /     50%	75%      /      33%	50%      /      25%
