The '''Wii U''' is an eighth-generation console released by Nintendo on November 18, 2012, at {{Inflation|USD|349.99|2012}}. It has a 3-core IBM [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#PPC_CPUs|PowerPC]] CPU at 1.24 GHz with 2 GBs of RAM and an AMD Radeon GPU. It is the first console by Nintendo to output high-definition (HD) resolutions, such as 720p and 1080p. It includes a tablet-like controller, known as the [[wikipedia:Wii_U_GamePad|Wii U GamePad]], to provide certain additional gameplay. Notably, it can play all [[Wii emulators|Wii]] games as well as support the Wii Remote controllers for native Wii U games.

There are two types of Microphones for the Wii U, the most common being the Gamepad and the other being a standalone Microphone. Not sure what's the difference between them, should they be distinguished? Famicom also has two Microphones, one is the old Famicom's P2 controller, and the other is a handheld Microphone, but they should be completely different, because no one uses the P2 Microphone to play Karaoke games

====DS mode====
 
−
Currently, SSimco's Cemu Android port does not do any optimization for DS mode, and certainly does not support sensors. Cemu's Dual Screen is just two separate windows with no more advanced settings.
 
  
−
What's DS mode? TV is top screen, Gamepad is bottom screen. So they're dual screen. (example: https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/media/30499/1/28.png)
+
====[[Wikipedia:Nintendo_Network|Nintendo Network]]====
 +
The Nintendo Network is Nintendo's online service which provides online functionality for the [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators#Hardware_features|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[#Hardware Features|Wii U]] systems and their compatible games.
  
−
*Swap Screen
+
Emulation of Nintendo Network is possible with [https://pretendo.network/#about Pretendo]: Open-source project that aims to recreate Nintendo Network for the 3DS and Wii U using clean-room reverse engineering. Pretendo supports any client that can interact with Nintendo Network.
−
*Screen Layout: Left Right or Up Down (Default)
 
−
*Rotate Screen: Screen 1: 0 (Default), 90°, 180°, -90° or Screen 2: -360°, -270°, -180°, -90°, 0, 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°, Custom, Sensor (Default)
 
−
NOTE: Sensor degrees from -360° to 0 to 360°, your device must support gyroscope, accelerometer, touch screen, second screen (optional) and Stylus for drawing games (optional). Mesen's developer once said that screen rotation is for homebrew games. But in fact, there are a few game developers like Treasure who have thought of this. Ikaruga is a NAOMI arcade game. In order to give players an experience close to the arcade version, its Dreamcast port actually allows players to rotate the screen, and its Switch port also allows players to rotate the screen.
 
−
*Hide Screen: Screen 1 or Screen 2 or Off (Default)
 
−
*Disable Screen: Screen 1 or Screen 2 or Off (Default)
 
−
*Screen Spacing: 0 (Default), Auto, Custom
 
−
NOTE: Auto is maximum value from Top to Bottom calculated based on aspect ratio and resolution, including rotating monitors
 
  
−
Cemu's Android port and DS / 3DS emulators require these;
+
Currently the only emulator with this kind of functionality is Cemu. Cemu 2.0 officially supports Pretendo under your network account options in the emulator. For information on how to get started with Cemu, check out the [https://pretendo.network/docs/install/cemu documentation].
−
*Orientation (Android): Portrait (Default) or Landscap or Auto
 
−
*Screen Position (Android): Left, Right, Center, Top (Default), Bottom
 
−
*Status Bar or Notch and Navigation Bar (Android): Top Bar: On (Default for Notch), Off or Bottom Bar: On, Off (Default)
 
−
*Hide Gamepad Virtual Controller (Android): Left Side, Right Side, Bottom Side, Both Sides, All Sides, Off (Default)
 
−
NOTE: Checkbox required. If you think of the Microphone as a button, it's at the bottom
 
−
*Rotate Gamepad Virtual Controller (Android): -360°, -270°, -180°, -90°, 0, 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°, Custom, Sensor (Default)
 
  
−
Unlike the DS and 3DS, the Wii U's two screens are not one piece, so two rotations are necessary.

====Wii U Optical Disc====
 
−
The Wii U Optical Disc (WUP-006) is the retail physical game medium for the Wii U, with a capacity of 25 GB. There is no 50 GB dual layer version. The Wii U system software is backwards compatible with Wii Optical Discs, but not with GameCube game discs. The Wii U Optical Discs differ in appearance from most other optical discs in that they have soft, rounded edges.
 
−
 
−
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata stated, "Wii U does not have DVD or Blu-ray playback capabilities. The reason for that is that we feel that enough people already have devices that are capable of playing DVDs and Blu-ray, such that it didn't warrant the cost involved to build that functionality into the Wii U console because of the patents related to those technologies". Like with the GameCube and Wii optical discs, it was chosen by Nintendo to prevent copyright infringement of games, to reduce cost by avoiding licensing fees to the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), and to reduce loading times. This also prevents the console from being modified into a DVD or Blu-ray movie player.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_optical_discs#Wii_U_Optical_Disc]
 
−
 
−
*cemu has no support for Wii U discs, PC optical drives can't read Wii U discs anyway.

==Cemu: PC to Mobile and Mobile to PC==
 
−
Just like the real Wii U, you need two screens. The Android version of Cemu should also be able to transfer saves, DLC and other files to and from the PC version. Root/data/data/info.cemu.Cemu is inaccessible. Google has added restrictions to Android/data/info.cemu.Cemu, so files from Cemu PC version to Cemu Android or files from Cemu Android to Cemu Android can only be built into Cemu Android.

Nitrome once developed an application for smartphones called Touchy, which allows four players to control four characters in a Flash game. It also allows players to play Flash games using sensors. Obviously, one keyboard is not enough for four players, and many people are not satisfied with the sensor emulation. They usually need to use third-party software, other devices, or change the mouse input method.

The Wii U Gamepad is basically available on some Android phones, except for the physical keyboard. Touch screen (Multitouch), stylus (Samsung and Motorola), Microphone, Camera (Front and Back), IR, NFC, gyroscope and accelerometer

Therefore, in addition to transferring files between the Android version and the PC version of Cemu, it should also be used as a Gamepad. The game runs on the PC or mobile phone, and the game screens on the mobile phone and PC can be exchanged during the game. You may need to turn on Screen Cast. It would be better to have a rotating monitor. PC TV, Android Gamepad or Android TV, PC Gamepad

The current Cemu Android version of Microphone is just a button, and its developer has not added Android Microphone support. Unlike the Famicom, the Wii U Gamepad has many buttons, and Android Microphone permission is necessary. Camera (front and back) also require Camera permission just like the Android version of GBCC.

The current Cemu Android version has these device requirements. Version: 11 to 14, CPU: 64 bit ARM also known as arm64-v8a, preferably Qualcomm's Snapdragon. Sensor: Refer to Wii U Gamepad, which is currently not supported by the emulator. Touchscreen: Like the DS and 3DS, Multitouch is optional for Stylus, Multitouch is necessary for on-screen controller. Wi-Fi, USB Type-C and Bluetooth: transfer files, screen cast, third-party controllers may use these. Vulkan and GPU driver: not supported yet.
