Few to no relevant public documentation about WiiU hardware and system protection.
Uhh I'm pretty sure the WiiU is well documented or at least the GPU is for sure.
I just hope this emulator doesnt go full DraStic...

- Few to no relevant public documentation about WiiU hardware and system protection.
- The WiiU Homebrew scene is still beginning.
- Guessing how things works by Reverse Engineering takes a lot of time.
- Implements new features, testing, fails, realize we got it all wrong, and rewriting a whole block of code takes a lot of time too. It seems like every feature on this emulator is successfully coded on first try, which is uncommon/impossible.
- Closed source, when it's combined to all previous statements.
This is pretty much all the reasons why something fells odd with this emulator. You can't write an emulator that fast without godlike documentation. It seems to bypass logic. There must be an explanation but we don't have it right now (we have speculations tho).
Don't get it wrong, I don't criticize the emulator or the devs, it's just mind blown.
From what I heard, exzap started work on this emulator a few years ago and kept it a secret until last fall.

Now it all is starting to make more sense, specially the closed source thing.

Well to be fair it is still not much money compared to what some paid emulators for Android might make. I can think of Drastic, epsxe etc. Drastic with over 500.000 installs at 5$ has made at least 2.500.000$ income. Epsxe probably more than a million dollars. Even if you split them between a team the money left shouldn't be neglible.
My guess is Exzap seems skilled enough he could easily make more money spending his time in a job (especially those 2 years before opening a Patreon). Now if the patreon reached like $5-10k it might actually pay up I guess.
I should point out very few of us are hating on exzap and his team, we are just being cautious due to the fact that what is going on is unprecedented in the emulation scene. Going from a barely working to playablity in months is unheard of which equate to 2 possibilities. 1.Special circumstances that are unknown to the public have enabled the emulator to fast forward through it's development time, or 2.Something fishy is going on. Due to it being closed source and there being money involved, a lot of us are siding with .2 because that is a more than likely situation that happens more often.
My personal views on it is, I don't care as long as it works, but still I like the conspiracy side of it and find it very entertaining to follow. XD
Even if it was proven fishy, id still use cemu.

how can an emulator that shows progress being fishy? it makes no sense. He also writes a changelog for every new version. It's not a fake, get over it.
