Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Cemu version 1.3 is out

wow this emulator is progressing way faster than dolphin ever did. exzap is a god.

There's not much change from ver. 1.2 to 1.3 other than minor graphical improvements on Splatoon and the fact that Mario Maker is now playable. Hopefully things will start to pick up from here on.

It's not just him that's working on it, that would be impossible to do with just one person alone. I think he has a team of over 100 developers, working all night and all day, dedicating all their work into the emulator. I'm not even sure if Exzap is even working on it himself, and I wouldn't know unless I actually knew him in person.

I'm definitely of the opinion that there are some Nintendo employees who know him personally. If he was truly a single person competent enough to progress this quickly using just reverse engineered information, he'd be paid to do something else, so wouldn't have time. If he's a team of people, then who's paying the other people - emulator developers usually like their name in a git repo's contributor list, and they're not getting that, so money's the only other option.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. It makes more sense that he's got a team of over 100 people that he has employed himself, and because their names are not in a repository (since the source code is private), it would be hosted on his own business server. And he would be paying the people for working with him; it totally makes sense, right? He must be a very rich person to be running a business with over 100 people.

It's not impossible. UltraHLE was only worked on by two persons. Realityman and Epsilon. And that emulator could run Zelda Ocarina of Time to the very end on a crappy computer.

wow 

this is ridiculous.

UltraHLE was a different story. Back then, every emulator used a LLE implementation and that's why everyone said "right now, making a playable N64 emulator is impossible". But Epsilon and RealityMan made a HLE emulator, something relatively new for console emulation.

Today, almost every 3D console emulators uses HLE. So, unless Cemu invents an all new emulation strategy like UltraHLE did...

Maybe he can time travel.
