wii u emulation on cemu emulator

[Dartz]

anyone know how to emulate a rom on cemu that come with a bunch of files like these ? would be nice also if anyone know a way for convert them in a single file if possible like some other games just come as just 1 single .wua file ( is the 1st time i'm trying to emulate wii u ) thanks in advance

use wiiu usbhelper. download the game through that and use the unpack option on the game. it will convert the files into ones that cemu can read.

you load up the xml file in the meta folder in cemu. that boots the game up like on the wii u, more or less. yeah, it is a bit confusing at first.

i booted up cemu to refresh my memory. go through the install option under file in the cemu menu and navigate your way to the meta folder in the game folder. you'll do the same for updates and dlc folders too.

the wua ones were more easy to use, they even had ''embedded'' dlc and updates in the rom file so could just load that and having all in that single file , sadly not found other games in that format , would have been nice a ways for convert these folder format too in a single file merging updates/dlc but not found anything regard this option

have you checked out this site. it has wii u games and plenty of others as well.

(Link snipped)

i don't think the site has dlc, but it has the base games for the wii u. i think there might be some collections on the internet archive that have wii u games, updates and dlc. you might have to create an account to access some of the collections though.

yeah is the one i was using , it had the wua too with everything embedded , but not think are all , in the wii u digital cdn directory istead gives the ones from my 1st screenshot , was't sure if could post it

yeah. there was a sercurity breach or something of the like back a few months ago with the archive and lots of stuff got locked for protection.
there might be a converter for cemu ready games to wua. i'll look and see if that's something that around on the internet.

i found this. it seems that the latest version of cemu can convert the game folders into wua files.

PSA - Cemu - combine and compress Wii U game + updates + DLC into a single file (.wua)

Recently the Cemu developers implemented a feature in the latest (experimental) Cemu builds to combine and compress Wii U games + their updates and DLC into a single file with a .wua (Wii U Archive) extension. This file format can be run directly from your Wii U roms folder and updates and DLC no...

thanks , sad that had to be done 1 by 1 but better than nothing

you're welcome. yeah, sometimes stuff has to be done 1 by 1, but there could be a bright side. if the process takes some time to do; you could set up a game to convert and then tend to another matter or task that needs to be done. you'll be getting 2 things done at the same time. i've been doing that while sorting stuff out on my hard drives and downloading stuff.
