Cemu Emulator Plans For 2022 With Going Open-Source, Aiming For Linux Support

[MaxxDiamond]

Too late. You can play the best Wii-U games using Yuzu.

Why would anyone play Wii U games on Yuzu? There is no game that runs better on Yuzu than it does on CEMU. When I’m playing Yuzu, I know I’m playing on an emulator, when I’m playing games on Cemu, it runs the games so flawlessly I forget I’m on an emulator. The only viable game for Yuzu is BOTW 2, and I’m doubtful that it will be playable for quite a while. I just keep Yuzu around in the hopes that one day it becomes usable.

Yeah nothing scammy or forced at all that way. Though I can kind of understand why Yuzu would not want to have links to a site that distributes for free what they sell.

Supposedly not sell but give to Patreon donors. If you wanna sell your emulator then just sell it and stop hiding behind the guise of donations. Go the route of Project64 and see what happens.

Yeah I think most forks features got mainlined one way or another.

That is my understanding as well.

The most famous one kept the old DX9 backend alive for the dozens of people still running XP. Another one had the (until recently) unemulated Motion+ "emulated" in gross fashion. But for the most part, you either run the latest stable, or go with one of the more recent nightly versions. At this point legit breakage is rare, and Dolphin is pretty much running out of things on it's "left to do" pile.

Dolphin has a couple major forks, including one that was Windows only I believe (I forgot the name of it right now, but supposedly it was a lot more fluid for some until some recent addition to upstream a year or 3 ago)

yeah the entire point is that you can build it yourself if you want to. which is what pineappleea does

Isn't most of the new stuff if Patreon builds available in PRs on GH anyway?

Baseless rumors.



Dolphin suffers a mess of versions? For a decade there have been only two: nightly and years-old stable. More recently they created "beta" releases but they're simply nightly versions released the same day of the (bi)montlhy report.

A lot of emulators have a Patreon version that has all the latest bells and whistles. CEMU has run it's course mostly because the emulator works pretty good now and that Switch emulators are making it irrelevant in terms of gaming. Most WiiU games have been ported to Switch with added features, and Yuzu and Ryujinx are nearly as fast as CEMU at emulation. Plus Yuzu and Ryujinx have had Linux support from nearly their inception.

Anyone looking to use Yuzu should just get this version since it's essentially the Pateron version with all the goodies without paying the Pateron price. It's not donating if it's forcing you to pay to get the latest version.

Good!
But why was it closed source in the first place, you had to pay to use it?

Then he can go against them. and to be honest, its also a dick move to lock foss builds behind a paywall and attempt to punish everyone who use his rights to redistribute them.

why bother, nothing but burden would come of it? I know I would rather just let people know when I can that yuzu steals code. we have an alternative that is just as good, so i would rather convince people to use the alternative instead.
