Consider reading all of the sections to get a good understanding. If you're able to do that, any game should be
of little difficulty to run, as long as it's rated well on the Compatibility List linked below. Additionally, if the game
does not run as desired, please review the game's designated page on the Compatibility List to see why.

Prerequisites

CPU | ||
---|---|---|
CPUWe recommend INTEL or AMD Ryzen series Processors. Generally speaking for Breath of the Wild and almost any CPU, you want to be over 4.0GHz. Pre-Ryzen AMD CPUs are so-so, but with the new Dual Core or Triple Core Recompiler options, performance should be better in any applicable games. You can check out Darkemaster's AMD FX Compatibility Video list for Cemu 1.12.0 [Here] Single Thread IPC and Overclocking are the most important factors for how well CEMU will perform on your PC!
I wouldn't recommend going under a score of ( 2,000 ) if you plan to play Breath of the Wild at 30FPS (Native Wii U Framerate) Experimental Multi-Core Recompiler This experimental setting allows extra cores to be utilized for PPC CPU emulation instead of 1, however not many games actually utilize multiple PPC cores and currently causes stability issues/crashes or offers no benefit for most titles.
|
RAM | |
---|---|
RAMWe recommend at least 8GB RAM for most games, but preferably 16GB+. If you run out of RAM and have a very slow SATA HDD, you are either likely to stutter relentlessly in-game or you may possibly have Crashes. Solid State Drives (SSD) are a boon to users with lesser amounts of RAM, as your PC will push data to the PageFile on your SSD if you set it to do so. They are much faster than SATA drives and therefore less likely to become unstable and crash with lesser amounts of RAM.
It is recommended to have a pagefile on an SSD or the fastest drive available, and to leave pagefile size as Alternatively, some users suggest to have a custom size of .5 times your physical RAM as |
GPU | |||
---|---|---|---|
GPUNVIDIA GPUs are recommended; they can take some strain off of your CPU and have better performance through threaded optimization/OGL multi-threading when under heavy CPU workloads. AMD GPUs perform great for all but the heaviest of games, they are negatively influenced by CPU bottlenecks. This may all change with Vulkan implementation in the future. Intel Integrated Graphics (iGPUs) are not officially supported but have decent compatibility.
GPU power and available VRAM is not very important unless you want to increase your game's internal resolution or reaching higher FPS limitiations. If you lose noticeable performance when playing at a higher resolution it means you are GPU/VRAM limited and your graphics card/VRAM amount is not sufficient to maintain said resolution without a performance loss. It is possible to be GPU/VRAM limited at native resolution with weaker/1GB-2GB GPUs and iGPUs, to determine if you are when under these conditions lower resolution and see if performance improves.

Installing & Updating CEMU
Setup |
---|
SetupDownload Cemu from http://cemu.info/ and extract to a folder in one of these locations: Recommended: SSD Storage a. ) Desktop b. ) Your C:\ Drive Root c. ) An alternative internal storage drive. d. ) An external storage device. Note: Not recommended unless USB 3.0 or 3.1; will still be slow, probably. Do NOT put it in your Program Files or other system directories, Cemu will lack file permissions!**

PreparationA tutorial for dumping Games, Updates, and DLC is located here: Click Here After dumping your games we suggest converting them to Loadiine (RPX) format with UWizard. Title Keys required! We do not support any other means of obtaining copyrighted content! |
Online Mode |
