This is the code repository of Cemu, a Wii U emulator that is able to run most Wii U games and homebrew in a playable state.
It's written in C/C++ and is being actively developed with new features and fixes.

Cemu is currently only available for 64-bit Windows, Linux & macOS devices.

## Download

You can download the latest Cemu releases for Windows, Linux and Mac from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu/releases/). For Linux you can also find Cemu on [flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/info.cemu.Cemu).

On Windows, Cemu is available both as an installer and in a portable format, where no installation is required besides extracting it in a safe place.

The native macOS build is currently purely experimental and should not be considered stable or ready for issue-free gameplay. There are also known issues with degraded performance due to the use of MoltenVK and Rosetta for ARM Macs. We appreciate your patience while we improve Cemu for macOS.

Pre-2.0 releases can be found on Cemu's [changelog page](https://cemu.info/changelog.html).

The old bug tracker can be found at [bugs.cemu.info](https://bugs.cemu.info) and still contains relevant issues and feature suggestions.
