A Wii U emulator for the PC, known as Cemu, has suddenly surfaced on the gbatemp forums. It is said to be fully functional in terms of running and rendering commercial games. However, at this point in time, it’s pretty unoptimized and will need a number of updates before it can perform well on a wider range of PC hardware. At present, you should expect low frame rates and long load times

Currently, the emulator lacks controller support, and you have to make do with a PC keyboard. You’ll be able to configure the Wii U Gamepad functions to your keyboard via the emulator’s key mapping menu. Also, audio support is unavailable at present. Given that this is a very early build, these features are likely to come soon in future updates.

Cemu requires OpenGL 3.3, and can run encrypted Wii U images (WUD) and RPX/RPL files. It supports an internal resolution of 1920×1080, provided that the game you’re running also supports it natively. Also, keep in mind that the emulator only supports 64-bit Windows operating systems.

According to the release notes, the emulator has been tested on Intel and Nvidia hardware. AMD hardware, both CPU and GPU, have yet to be tested with Cemu.

kinda pointless imho
1. you cant use a 2nd screen or controller ,motion sensor etc
2. WiiU has a serious lack of titles,even compared to the Wii

PSP has a 3DS emulator btw
you can try the PPSSPP emulator and try running the 3DS PSP Emulator under that and see if it works I guess

It won't. And 3DS have more powerful hardware than PSP.

my apologies I got mixed up between 3ds and ds in the above post
there is actually a working DS emulator though......
I do have a 3DS but I only have DS titles and I barely have used it and received it as a gift

Other people can also make mistakes. You are the one who used the misinformed word first.
