Before that, Nintendo shut down homebrew DS carts, and filed complaints against a fan-made remake Super Mario 64.
Earlier this year, the company’s American arm sent a takedown request to GitHub, asking that a JavaScript-based Game Boy emulator be removed from its code repository. Delroth explained that the only thing in common between the Wii U and Wii is the CPU architecture.Įxciting as Cemu might be, it seems somewhat unlikely that Nintendo will condone its existence. While many have speculated that Cemu was based on the Wii emulator Dolphin, Exzap says it was built entirely from scratch-a fact that was corroborated by Delroth, who worked on Dolphin. Based on a thread on the GBAtemp forums, this could be attributed to the emergence of the Wii U common key earlier this year.
Exzap, the primary force behind Cemu, began the project about two years ago, but cites effective development time as 6 months.
