Cemu 1.16.1 Released

Cemu is once again evolving under the features of ExZap and its team of developers, the Wii U emulator on PC now goes to v1.16.1 and improves the support of Vulkan.

The team informs us that they have succeeded in improving Vulkan performance, but also in having made various corrections and modifications to optimize everything.

As you know the Vulkan API offers more direct access to PC hardware, as it is a low level API, allowing you to make the most of all the power made available by the latest GPUs.

AMD and Intel GPU GPU owners can expect a significant increase in performance compared to using the OpenGL APIs.

To use the Vulkan API in Cemu, go to Options -> General settings -> Graphics and select Vulkan from the drop-down menu of the graphics API.
