Wii U emulator: Cemu 1.5.0 runs Mario Kart 8 at full speed (Video)
Cemu 1.5.0 was released a couple days ago to people who are supporting the project on patreon, and it will most likely be released publicly to other people in the weeks to come.
The official changelog is as follows:
- New enhanced controller configuration menu and emulation
- Configure up to 8 players (assuming the game supports it)
- Added Pro Controller and Classic Controller emulation
- Compatible with the original Pro Controller (using mayflash adapter)
- Improved shader emulation and graphic bugfixes
- Improved sound emulation
- Reduced VRAM usage
- Small bugfixes and changes

Of course, a changelog alone is not what the end user wants, and the community delivered, with countless people showcasing the emulator in videos on Youtube. Check for example this video of Mario Kart 8 running on Cemu 1.5.0 at full speed, by GBATemp member reznoire:

[skeptical stare] “Let’s see what godly setup this guy used to run the game.
*Sure shut me up* Wow, mid range gaming setup, impressive it’s running so well.
Getting a new build with i5 6600K/GTX 1070/2x8Gb RAM, definitely giving CEMU a try.
Good to remind us that all gaming devices were almost fully hacked expect the Vita, these news always Mack me about to cry.
Damn that auto correction, mack× ….. make √
And expect? Don’t you mean except?
No he definitely means expect. Expect the VITA!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
epic, soon i wont have to use my wii u to play smash4 or other nin games
in other front, citra3ds is still slow as fuxxk
because no dynarec implemented yet.
but in current state almost fullspeed on many games (with GTX 980, at least)
Changelog says it now supports more controllers, but do you still need a gamepad to launch something or is it now possible to play with any kind of controller as the controls must be the same as the “Pro/Classic Controllers” ?
Or atleast, would remapping another controller with the Pro/Classic buttons work ?
