News / Release MuffinEMU 10.3 Just Dropped, Wii U Emulation On iOS is Finally Here.

Hi everyone, I'm Void, the developer of MuffinEMU, a free and open-source Wii U emulator for iPhone and iPad, built on a Cemu core. A big update just went out, so I wanted to share it properly.
- No games, keys or firmware are included. You need your own legally dumped games.
Download:
Get it from my discord: https://muffinemu.github.io/MuffinEMU/discord
The download, install guide, help and updates are all there.
What it is
- Metal renderer on a Cemu-based core
- On-screen GamePad measured from the real hardware, plus controller support
- Incredible touch control layouts
- Built-in recompiler (JIT) for real speed
- Enhance your library with cover art, DLC and update import, graphic packs, and cover scraping
- 20 built-in controller skins
JIT needs an enabler such as StikDebug, SideStore or LiveContainer, and the "Use the recompiler (JIT)" switch turned on. Without both it runs the much slower interpreter.
What players report (frame rates depend on your device, JIT, graphic packs and the version)
- Mario Kart 8: runs well, 42-54 fps on an iPad Pro A12Z; 6gb ram.
- Super Mario 3D World: runs well, 60 fps on an iPhone 13 with JIT
- Splatoon: runs well, 32 fps on an iPad Pro A12Z
- Breath of the Wild: playable, 23 to 30 fps with the FPS++ graphic pack on an iPhone 13
- Bayonetta: plays, but the audio is delayed
- Black Ops II: loads and plays, graphics need work
Full list: https://muffinemu.github.io/MuffinEMU/docs/compatibility.html
What you need
- iOS or iPadOS 15 or later
- Your own legally dumped games, and your legally dumped keys.txt if they're encrypted (Dump them from a modded Wii U)
- The download from the Discord (link above)
