* [http://cemu.info/index.html#download Latest Release]* [http://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19WV2YQvS2PkiHnQTlYP7cE2eHOPl06Rx4tCvfud_Hpw/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 Compatibility List] Currently DonationWare, with about two major releases a month. Patreon backers have a one-week exclusive early access to the latest version for $5, then that version has further improvements and bugfixes added (hence the .5 in the version number) and released publicly for free on the emulator's site.
===System Requirements===
* OS: Windows 7 (64-bit only) or above
* GPU: OpenGL 3.3 or above, Intel iGPUs are not recommended
===Source Code===
CEMU is currently closed source, though its author Exzap wants to eventually make it open source after enough work is put into it.
Some open-source advocates can't seem to get over this delay, and have accused this emulator of having malware, stolen code lifted directly from Nintendo's SDKs (as in, a crime), stolen findings from Decaf, shoddy emulation sacrificing accuracy for speed, and destroying the feels of emulator devs and emulation's future as a whole. These allegations are advanced without proof in the hopes of smearing the dev's reputation and pressuring him to release the source code to them, or to a courthouse investigating the aforementioned SDK allegation, to "prove them wrong". Decompiling the closed source CEMU executable is still possible to confirm or refute these claims, though the people behind these accusations don't wan't to bear the burden of proof, and as of now (17/8/2016) there's still no tangible proof released of any wrongdoing of CEMU.
For these reasons, one can see people online recommending Decaf over CEMU despite the stark difference in compatibility, not out of concern for the end user gaming experience but rather that of promoting open source and taking the whole deal too seriously. As of today, CEMU isn't cancer, and doesn't have malware. Use personal judgement when deciding which emulator to play depending on what games you want to play and what you expect out of emulators.
==Running Games in CEMU==
Your file must have many lines like this, one for the Wii U Common Key (D7B00402659BA2ABD2CB0DB27FA2B656), and one line for the Game Key of each game. Sharing these keys isn't exactly safe legally, but romsites at least share [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Game ones]. Note that for games using the Loadiine format, you won't need a Game Key at all, but those will need CEMU versions from 1.4.0 onwards. Loadiine format is just the ISO contents unpacked as directories of files, with an executable RPX file you'll need to open in CEMU.
Your iso must be either uncompressed, compressed using WUD format, or in Loadiine format (only possible for versions 1.4.0 onwards) to boot in CEMU. Here's a [http://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19WV2YQvS2PkiHnQTlYP7cE2eHOPl06Rx4tCvfud_Hpw/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 compatibility list].
