Community The Emulation Thread - When That PC Port Just Ain't Happening

[Alextended]

Yes, but I did my last playthrough in Yuzu and now I'm hoping that when I get further along in TotK it's going to detect my BotW horses like it does on the Switch.

This works. But you can convert CEMU BOTW saves to Yuzu saves with an app. But maybe best to just emulate BOTW in Yuzu anyway to have a consistent experience with TOTK too (with improved emulation/performance by the time he gets to that hopefully) and not miss CEMU improvements.

Wow, it was easy to start with Cemu. No system file or key file that were needed. I can finally play some Nintendo games again. I haven't played much Nintendo games since Gamecube time
So many games to catch up

 

[Acidote]

Enjoy, I'm still catching up on WiiU games. Skipped both the Wii (partially) and the WiiU. Luckily almost everything worth a damn on the WiiU was already on the switch and all of it perfectly emulable.

Wii has an amazing library but you need original Wii controllers for many titles. Plenty others worked fine with the classic controller so any modern controller too though. Still, acquiring them is worthwhile if you can find them for reasonable prices (or find third party stuff guaranteed to work as good as official products). Throw in a zapper or similar and you can use it for lightgun emulation for Wii and for many other emulators too, but with crosshair enabled as it's not as accurate as a real lightgun (but if you don't have a pricey Sinden or similar gun that works better that's a moot point, it sure beats playing with a mouse or analog stick). That said, CEMU is just for WiiU iirc, you need Dolphin for Wii, even though a real WiiU is backwards compatible with Wii.

Finally went and setup Ryujinx for myself.

I never finished BotW on Switch natively. But now with 4k, 16x AF, and some decent AA... I feel a little more motivated.
I'll have to look into some mods too. I tried to play with V-sync off, but all the animations and menus were super sped up and just looked goofy.

You have to try the 60fps mod. I’m no 60 or bust but this is something.

 

[Durante]

Yeah, 60 FPS plays so much better.

Also, a fun non-technical mod for BotW is the Linkle mod. There are even extensions of it that rewrite the backstory and relevant quests to work rather naturally.

Wouldn't it be better to play it through Cemu? 120 and more fps mods there.

 

[「Echo」]

I did consider CEMU, but I admit to being lazy i guess. BotW is about the only WiiU game I'd play on CEMU, meanwhile a Switch emulator gives me a lot more options since I already have a sizable Switch library. So that's just a matter of finding time to dump everything.

AKA, I didn't wanna set up an Emulator just for 1 game when I could set up an emulator for that same game and more.

I looked at the Linkle mod too, and I've been flip flopping on it hard. I wanna try it, but at the same time, having to use a mod launcher for an emulated game...?

 

[Durante]

A mod launcher? I admit I played it on CEMU and a few years ago, but there was nothing like that. Just dropping a few files in the right directories and the emulator loads the mod.
