Today I am taking a closer look a the 1.6.2 Cemu Wii U Emulator build playing Xenoblade Chronicles X. It has had such a HUGE improvement in performance. This video will compare the original Nintendo Wii U version with the Cemu Version so you can see a detailed comparison.

I cannot believe how far this one has come... so lets take a look in detail :D

TEST MACHINE :
nVidia 670
i5 4690K @ 4.5ghz
16GB G'Skill Ripjaws
etc...

Running:
Windows 10 Pro x64 with latest updates
All required driver & Redist installed

The Cemu Emulator now has various setting to do with the cache of textures and GPU options. On this game it made little to no difference which one was used. I will dig deeper into these options with more games. Footage used for this was taken from the Cemu 1.6.2 build running complete stock.

The video has been recorded @ 1080P 60FPS to give a true representation of how it performs visually. Of course Youtube uses compression.

WARNING!:
This video in regards to Emulation is made to encourage you to play your BACKUPS. In other words, THE GAMES WHICH YOU ALREADY OWN!. Please do not emulate any games which you do not already have on any systems which you do not own. Unless of course they are abandon/free-ware due to license or age.

Emulation for me is not about playing games I do not own. It is about playing games on another platform. In fact on my PC at 4k internal resolution 60fps with one controller... not having 200+ consoles set up with 600+ controllers tangled up!

ESPECIALLY, do not sell anything to do with this scene or be stupid enough to buy anything from this scene. Support Developers (especially SEGA) and pay for what you play!

Happy Gaming Guys!!!
