Installing The Cemu Emulator

To play Wii U games on a PC, you’ll need the right system requirements. These include having Windows 7 or above with at least 4GB of RAM, although 8GB is recommended. You’ll also need to make sure that the latest C++ redistributable packages are installed on your PC. ..

NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards are required for playing games with Cemu. If you have Intel graphics, Cemu is not currently supported. The Cemu development team has indicated this is due to extreme visual issues that prevent you from playing games with this type of graphics chipset.
