Wii U游戏机自 2017 年初以来已停产。但如果您想在现代硬件上玩这款旧的任天堂游戏机，您可以使用适用于 Windows PC 的Cemu(Nintendo console)模拟器(Cemu emulator)。
这个模拟器(emulator let)不仅可以让您在 PC 上玩 Wii U 游戏，而且还改进了原始硬件，将某些游戏升级到 4K 分辨率。但是请注意，虽然Cemu正在不断开发中，但游戏的质量确实因游戏而异。
在 PC 上玩 Wii U 游戏的合法方式(Legal Ways To Play Wii U Games On a PC)
盗版是任天堂(Nintendo)等游戏公司极为重视的问题。这意味着不建议在线查找和下载盗版Wii U游戏。
玩Wii U(Wii U)游戏的最佳方式是实际购买您想玩的二手Wii U游戏，然后使用(Wii U)ddd WiiU Title Dumper或disc2app工具扫描和“转储” Wii U 游戏(Wii U game)文件。您需要一个“自制”Wii U 控制台(” Wii U console)，该控制台已经过修改，允许您运行非 Nintendo 软件才能执行此操作。
如果您无法自己复制Wii U 游戏(Wii U game)，或者您没有可用的自制Wii U 游戏机(Wii U console)，则需要在线搜索Wii U 游戏(Wii U game)文件。但是，正如我们所提到的，这确实存在风险，并且可能违反您所在国家/地区的隐私法，因此我们不建议这样做。

您还需要优质的 NVIDIA 或 AMD 显卡(quality NVIDIA or AMD graphics card)。如果您有Intel显卡，则目前不支持Cemu 。Cemu 开发(Cemu development)团队表示这是由于极端的视觉问题导致您无法使用这种类型的图形芯片组玩游戏。
- 如果您的 PC 满足最低系统(minimum system)要求，请从Cemu 网站(Cemu website)下载最新版本(download the latest version)。安装以ZIP 文件(ZIP file)的形式提供，因此请将其解压缩到合适的位置，例如Windows 桌面文件夹(Windows Desktop folder)。
- 您还需要对Cemu Hook做同样的事情，它是Cemu的图形和性能插件(performance add-on)。为您的Cemu 版本下载(Download)匹配的Cemu Hook 版本(Cemu Hook version)，然后将ZIP 文件(ZIP file)的内容解压缩到您的Cemu 安装(Cemu installation)目录中。
- 安装Cemu Hook(Cemu Hook)后，双击Cemu 目录(Cemu directory)中(Cemu.exe )的Cemu.exe文件运行Cemu。如果Cemu 屏幕(Cemu screen)底部出现“缺少共享字体”错误，请单击立即下载(Download Now)。该过程将自动完成。
- Cemu还有大量旨在改善游戏体验(gameplay experience)的社区图形(community graphics packs)包。如果您运行Cemu 1.15.1(Cemu version 1.15.1)及更高版本，您可以自动下载这些。为此，请单击Options，然后单击Graphics Packs。单击下载最新的社区图形包。(Download latest community graphics packs.)
- 最后，您可以考虑为您的Wii U游戏下载着色器缓存。这不是必需的，但如果您不这样做，Cemu 模拟器(Cemu emulator)将需要自己生成着色器缓存。这可能会在创建缓存时的最初几次游戏尝试中导致严重的游戏延迟。(gameplay lag)这篇Reddit 帖子(Reddit post)有一长串可以下载的缓存。将包含的 BIN 文件复制( included BIN files )到Cemu installation folder/shaderCache/transferable/目录。
安装着色器缓存后，您现在可以开始自定义Cemu 安装(Cemu installation)。

接下来，您需要设置一个控制器。Cemu支持您使用键盘和鼠标(keyboard and mouse)，以及USB 和蓝牙游戏手柄(USB and Bluetooth gamepads)。您需要将您选择的控制器(chosen controller)映射到模拟的Wii U 控制器(Wii U controller)按键。
- 单击选项(Options)，然后单击输入设置(Input Settings)。在Emulate Controller 下，(Emulate Controller,)选择Wii U Pro Controller。通过为您的键盘选择键盘(Keyboard)或为 USB 控制器选择XInput来选择您的控制器 API 。(Controller API)如果您使用的是较旧的蓝牙 Wii 遥控器(Bluetooth Wii remote)，请选择Wiimote。
- 对于每个按钮，按每个字母或控制器项目(letter or controller item)旁边的，然后按一个键，或者移动或按控制器上的相应键盘以映射它。完全映射控制器后，在配置文件(Profile)框中键入配置文件名称，然后单击(profile name)保存(Save)以保存配置文件。
您可以通过访问Cemu 控制器配置指南(Cemu controller configuration guide)了解有关映射控制器的更多信息。
在 Cemu 玩 Wii U 游戏(Playing Wii U Games In Cemu)
并非所有Wii U 游戏(Wii U game)都可以在Cemu中玩。Cemu仍被列为“实验性”模拟器(” emulator)，有些游戏完全无法玩。考虑到这一点，您应该查看官方Cemu 游戏评级页面(Cemu gameplay rating page)以确定游戏是否可玩。
- 如果是，并且您有适当的游戏文件可用，请单击文件(File)，然后单击加载(Load)。在文件选择菜单(file selection menu)中，找到您的Wii U 游戏(Wii U game)文件。这些文件采用WUD、WUX、ISO 或 RPX 文件格式(ISO or RPX file format)，具体取决于您获取游戏文件的方式。单击打开(Open)以启动游戏。

How To Play Wii U Games On Your Windows PC
The Wii U gamеs console has been discontinued since early 2017. Βut if you want to play this old Nintendo console on modern hardware, you can, thanks tо the Cemu emulator for Windows PCs.
Not only does this emulator let you play Wii U games on a PC, but it also improves upon the original hardware, upscaling certain games to 4K resolution. Be warned however, that while Cemu is under constant development, the quality of gameplay does vary from game to game.
Legal Ways To Play Wii U Games On a PC
Piracy is a problem that games companies like Nintendo take extremely seriously. That means that it’s not advisable to find and download pirated Wii U games online.
The best way to play Wii U games is to actually buy the Wii U games you wish to play second-hand and use the ddd WiiU Title Dumper or disc2app tools to scan and “dump” the Wii U game files. You’ll need a “homebrew” Wii U console which has been modified to allow you to run non-Nintendo software to be able to do this.
If you can’t copy Wii U games yourself or you don’t have a homebrew Wii U console available, you’ll need to search for Wii U game files online. As we’ve mentioned, however, this does carry risks and could break privacy laws in your country, so it isn’t something we’d recommend.
Installing The Cemu Emulator
Assuming you have Wii U game files ready to play, and before you install the Cemu emulator, you’ll need a PC with the right system requirements. Minimum system requirements include having Windows 7 (or above) with at least 4GB of RAM, although 8GB is recommended. You’ll need to make sure that the latest C++ redistributable packages are installed on your PC.
You will also need a good quality NVIDIA or AMD graphics card. If you have Intel graphics, Cemu isn’t 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.
- If your PC meets the minimum system requirements, download the latest version from the Cemu website. The installation comes as a ZIP file, so extract it to a suitable location like your Windows Desktop folder.
- You’ll also need to do the same with Cemu Hook, a graphics and performance add-on for Cemu. Download the matching Cemu Hook version for your version of Cemu, then extract the contents of the ZIP file into your Cemu installation directory.
- With Cemu Hook installed, run Cemu by double-clicking the Cemu.exe file in your Cemu directory. If there’s a “missing shared fonts” error at the bottom of your Cemu screen, click Download Now. The process will complete automatically.
- There are also a significant number of community graphics packs for Cemu that are designed to improve the gameplay experience. If you’re running Cemu version 1.15.1 and above, you can download these automatically. To do so, click Options, then Graphics Packs. Click Download latest community graphics packs.
- Finally, you can consider downloading shader caches for your Wii U games. This isn’t necessary, but if you don’t, the Cemu emulator will need to generate the shader caches itself. This can cause heavy gameplay lag during the first few attempts at gameplay while the cache is created. This Reddit post has a long list of caches you can download. Copy the included BIN files to your Cemu installation folder/shaderCache/transferable/ directory.
Once your shader caches are installed, you can now begin customizing your Cemu installation.
Setting Up The Wii U Emulator
There are quite a few settings including your graphics add-ons and controller configurations that you’ll need to change or configure in Cemu first before you can begin playing.
The community graphics packs you automatically downloaded in the last stage each have individual settings for each game. You’ll need to set these up for each game you plan on playing.
- Click Options, then Graphics Packs. For each game, click the + arrow. Each game will have a resolution setting, so click Resolution, then select your chosen display resolution from the Active preset drop-down menu on the right. Confirm any other settings or graphics modifications for your game at this stage.
Next, you’ll need to set up a controller. Cemu supports you using your keyboard and mouse, as well as USB and Bluetooth gamepads. You’ll need to map your chosen controller to the emulated Wii U controller key presses.
- Click Options, then Input Settings. Under Emulate Controller, choose Wii U Pro Controller. Select your Controller API by choosing Keyboard for your keyboard or XInput for a USB controller. Choose Wiimote if you’re using an older Bluetooth Wii remote.
- For each button, press next to each letter or controller item, then press a key, or move or press the appropriate keypad on your controller to map it. Once your controller has been fully mapped, type a profile name in the Profile box, then click Save to save the profile.
You can find out more about mapping your controller by visiting the Cemu controller configuration guide.
Playing Wii U Games In Cemu
Not every Wii U game can be played in Cemu. Cemu is still listed as an “experimental” emulator, with some games totally unplayable. With that in mind, you should check the official Cemu gameplay rating page to determine whether a game is playable or not.
- If it is, and you have the appropriate gameplay files available, click File then Load. In the file selection menu, locate your Wii U game files. These come in the WUD, WUX, ISO or RPX file format, depending on how you acquired the game files. Click Open to launch the game.
Once launched, you can begin playing your game in the Cemu window. It will default to using the resolution and controller options you established in the previous steps.
If you have any issues, the Cemu wiki has further guides and steps on how to dump your Wii U game discs and how to configure or troubleshoot Wii U gameplay on your PC.
