Cemu is a free and open-source Wii U emulator, first released on October 13, 2015 for Microsoft Windows[1][3][4] as a closed-source emulator developed by Exzap and Petergov.[5] Experimental builds currently support Linux and macOS, in addition to the Windows environment available from launch. Though still under development, it is able to run the majority of games smoothly, assuming compatible hardware.[6][7][8] The popularity of the emulator spiked with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in 2017 as Cemu successfully booted and ran the title within hours of its release.[9]
