Download the Cemu Emulator

- Set Up Folders: Cemu requires two folders: one for updates and another for games. Ensure these folders are set up correctly.

Obtaining Wii U ROMs
You might be wondering why you can’t easily find Wii U ROMs online. The process involves using tools like WiiuHelper or WiiuDownloader:
- Download WiiuDownloader: Get WiiuDownloader from the provided link and install it.
- Find and Decrypt Games: Locate the game you want to download. Ensure the file is decrypted, as these files come directly from Nintendo’s servers and won’t install without decryption.
- Using WiiuHelper: This tool is more detailed and requires a title key code to function. WiiuDownloader is more straightforward but less detailed.
Installing Games
- Install Games: Click on “File” and select “Install game title, update, or DLC.”
- Select Game File: Navigate to the downloaded game file and find the meta folder. Click on the meta file to install the game.
Additional Tips
