Hyrule Warriors, Pokken Tournament & Devil’s Third running on the WiiU emulator, CEMU 1.11.2 now available

1 Comment

The team behind the amazing WiiU emulator, CEMU, has released a brand new version for its Patreon members. CEMU 1.11.2 adds file menu shortcuts to recently launched games, improves robustness of file location handling, and includes unicode support and the ability to launch games from network storage.

Moreover, this new version implements additional API instructions, adds minimalistic usb keyboard implementation (though it’s still not functional) and fixes a crash caused by recompiling very large functions.

YouTube’s member ‘reznoire’ has also released some new videos, showing Hyrule Warriors, Devil’s Third and Pokkén Tournament running on the PC thanks to this emulator. These three games are not coming to the PC so the only way to experience them is via emulators.

As we can see, Pokkén Tournament works wonderfully on CEMU 1.11.2. Hyrule Warriors also appears to be running – performance wise – great, though there are still many graphical glitches. On the other hand, Devil’s Third has some performance issues that need to be resolved.

PPC/JIT: Fixed a crash caused by recompiling very large functions
PPC/JIT: Implemented CRAND and SYNC instructions

coreinit: Added API FSSetUserData, FSGetUserData, OSAndAtomic64, OSOrAtomic64, FSMakeDir
coreinit: Fixed a bug where async FS callbacks for some file operations would have FSCmdBlock* set to null

rpl: Improved handling of sdata2

GX2: Added support for QUAD_STRIPS primitive type
GX2: Added support for GPU special state 5 (convert depth to color)
GX2: Added support for GPU special state 8 (clear color as depth buffer)
GX2: Added support for A2_B10_G10_R10_UNORM texture format

GX2: Fixed a bug in GX2CopySurface() that caused the copy operation to be cancled if the source and destination mip index had different values
GX2: Added support for data-sharing of overlapping textures between integer texture formats and BC4 3D textures (special case that requires pixel-data conversion since OpenGL does not support BC4 3D textures)
GX2: Fixed mismatching pixel shader imports when a geometry shader is used (caused render glitches on AMD and Intel GPUs)
GX2: Added API GX2SetDRCConnectCallback

nn_boss: Implemented additional API

nsyskbd: Added minimalistic usb keyboard implementation (no functionality, but it prevents games from softlocking or crashing)

nlibcurl: Added API curl_multi_timeout
