The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild has not been on the market long, but the developers of Wii U emulator CEMU have been working hard to get the game up and running on PC. There are still a few performance issues, a couple of graphical errors, and other bugs to work out, and it will likely be a long time until they’re all addresses, but reports are now suggesting that the game can be played in full, and the final boss defeated using CEMU.
YouTuber YamGaming shared 10 minutes of gameplay running on CEMU 1.7.4, and it looks pretty fantastic, check it out below!
The latest version of the emulator has made incredible progress. Previous versions had link falling through floors, grass and water effects were missing, fog and lighting were all wrong, the list goes on. Check out this new video showing the improvements, and you’ll see just how much progress has been made!
The updated CEMU is available to the software’s Patreon backers now, but everyone else can expect a public release within the next week or two.
Not sure what I was to expect, but would it have not been easier just to buy a Switch and play it properly.
more expensive and not as nice looking
I guess as a project this is a very interesting thing to do. It just seems like some of the game play systems need the Joy-Cons in order to function properly. The problems they were having when using Magnesis comes to mind. It will be interesting to see if controller functionality is something that this person works on later. However good on them for getting it to work this well, this soon after launch.
The joy-cons have nothing to do with this, due to this being a Wii u emulator, not a switch one. The magnesis issue was based in collision being borked.
My mistake about this being a Wii U emu. However I was referring to the difficulty aiming in the first video. May just be poor playing skills…..;-)
Also as to this comment about being more expensive. Do you mean more expensive to go out and buy a Switch or Wii U and have it work out of the box or more expensive to buy a gaming computer and spend a month getting an emulator to work with issues.
idk what magic system he’s running but the game has long hitches very often [freezes for 5 seconds every 3 seconds, it was actually more stable in the previous build]. otherwise I get <45fps GTX1070 6700k 4.6ghz 32gb 3200mhz
