Players should only rip the Wii U games they already own to play through Cemu's emulation on PC, as piracy is illegal. It must be reiterated that Cemu is meant for legal emulation of the Wii U and its games. Cemu users should definitely check out their favorite games and then post their feedback to help with upcoming updates.
With most of this update's focus being on Zelda, fixes in other games are bound to be small. That doesn't mean that these games are running smoothly, or even that the new changes are significant, because the Cemu team focuses on iterative updates. for Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fast Racing Neo, and others. Other emulated games which have seen improvements in Cemu 1.7.4 include The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Super Smash Bros. Performance is another issue entirely, as Cemu's creators say it wasn't a priority for this patch. The devs have also fixed a few grass and lighting issues, as well as the problem with Link falling through the earth, which should make playing the game a more appealing experience. Fixing the Magnesis and Stasis runes, as well as fixing water and Cryonis, will allow players to progress through the game in a normal fashion. While Cemu 1.7.4 does make several improvements to other Wii U games as well, its focus is primarily on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Currently, the update is on version 1.7.4c.
The Cemu devs have tentatively scheduled the full release for April 8 and will spend the next week hotfixing what issues their patrons can find. The software still has a ways to go, but Cemu has made some impressive steps forward.Ĭurrently Cemu 1.7.4 has yet to be released to the public, but there is a public test release available to the emulator's Patreon contributors. Over the past few weeks, Breath of the Wild saw not only visual enhancements, but also improves to features like swimming, the Magnesis rune, and the Stasis rune. To help clarify just how significant the improvements are, the team released a new trailer showing the differences between versions 1.7.3 and 1.7.4. Cemu, the crowdfunded Wii U emulation software, is working on a new update that makes significant improvements to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
