Modern consoles and their games make heavy use of precompiled shaders specific to their GPUs, and these shaders can't be run natively on PC hardware , so they need to be translated, or recompiled. The simplest way to do this is to recompile them at runtime, but that's slow and can cause stuttering every time a new shader is loaded in the game. A mitigation to this stuttering is to compile the shaders asynchronously to the emulator, but this has its own drawback in that in the time it takes to compile the shader , the effect in-game that relies on it wont won't be shown. Another approach is to cache the system's raw shader pipeline of the system and then use that to compile the shaders before the game even starts. The only drawback here is that someone has to play through the game once to 'build' a cache that can be used by others.

When an emulator updates the way it handles shaders they , it may break compatibility with previous shader caches, ; for this reason , the shader version is listed below.

Note: Please compress your shader caches with 7zip 7-Zip or Winrar WinRAR before uploading them.

Newer versions of Cemu leverage Vulkan 1.2 and asynchronous shaders in a way that it may be preferable on modern GPUs to use async shaders instead of a shader cache, so try enabling that before hunting for shader caches. Current The current shader version is '''150''', but Cemu is backwardsbackward-compatible from version '''149''' (Cemu version 1.7.0, 2017/05/16)Cemu 1.25.0+ is not backwards backward-compatible with any prior transferable cache.
