Wii U on Steam Deck! Cemu Emulation Tutorial and Setup Guide for EmuDeck on Steam Deck!

When enough of you keep asking me for the SAME THING I try to listen...so here we go; Steam Deck coverage! But of course this is a retro gaming channel so it's not like we are going to talk about modern PC Gaming on the Steam Deck...we are going to talk about retro emulation...more specifically Wii U emulation!

On today's Steam Deck video I will go over how to get Nintendo Wii U games running on your Steam Deck via Cemu Emulation. Because the Cemu emulator is super impressive and it works great on the Steam Deck via EmuDeck!

But if you follow the process you will get your Nintendo Wii U emulation up and running on the Steam Deck in no time!

And there are a ton of Wii U hidden gems to enjoy on the go!

Again I recommend getting a Dock for your Steam Deck as the process is MUCH easier that way!

There are a ton of Nintendo Wii hidden gems to discover though!

But the Steam Deck is proving to be an amazing retrogaming handheld video game emulation machine and I love it!

I've completed New Super Mario Bros. U and Twilight Princess HD on the Deck with no issues whatsoever. Cemu seems to be a great emulator.

I have a soft spot for the Wii U. Xenoblade X is still locked to the console, and it is an incredible game. Yoshi's Wooly World is also best played on Wii U, and it's the best Yoshi game since Yoshi's Island on the SNES (still not as good, but the best effort since then).

I find it insane that my Steam Deck has more power than my 2015 115" MacBook Pro. CEMU is now on the Deck for me.

Next up: FIGHTCADE with a fight stick, on the DOCKED SCHTEAM DECK

Games aren't showing up and it says "unable to find the /meta/meta.xml file" if I do the install route.

Wow.. super helpful all the instructions worked thanks 👍 I just wanted one wii u game which was windwaker hd..looks great

[DeezNutzHot]

You know if Nintendo would just freakin release these old games we could buy on PC I’d prefer that. I’m not tech savvy and all this seems confusing lol

[legomovieman]

Is there any reason why you went with the Windows version of CEMU through WINE rather than the Linux native version of it?

[cowbellchow]

Surprise appearance of Sneak King for those with sharp eyes. Nearly had a stroke and pissed myself from the memory backlash.

[YaBoyKesuto]

On the native version of Cemu, it seems like the game is a bit slow. It shows as 30fps, but the game moves very slow.

Fantastic Video just got my own deck last week and this Video was exactly what I needed Happily playing Wind Waker HD and Mario Kart 8 and its a blast. Quick question idk if i missed it in thr video but how do i open the Cemu Settings Screen while in game i know the L back buttons open the 2nd Wii U screen but im not sure which button opens the emulator settings themselves while a wii u game is played from Steam Game Playing mode

[inspiradorupees]

Does every Wii U game require a ‘code’, ‘content’, ‘meta’ folder to play with Cemu?

[cheaddos]

Looking forward to motion controls, wiimote and nunchuck emulation if possible on deck.

[wittymchitty]

My games won't appear in Cemu, and every time I click "install game title" the program crashes. I even added Cemu to Steam to try and set the properties to be compatible with other Protons, but crashes the same.

[HUYI]

no matter what i do, switching screens with the back buttons do not work, no response

[CodySmiley]

The game works, but no shortcuts work, so you can't exit the game, you can't save the game state.

[retrobear]

I'm trying to clean up my "collections" library on my Deck. Which is better. WiiU-Proton or Cemu Native? Only 2 games I use the WiiU emu for is Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

[Phylosophy]

Anybody else having an issue with graphic packs not popping up on steam deck cemu? They popped up on my pc fine, but on the steam deck nothing shows

[studiokadaver]

I really want a steam deck. I have that Atari, VCS, and I have HoloISO on a hard drive to boot up in PC mode

[GanonGerudo]

I have a situation with certain Wii-U games where I will be playing the game and open the menus but the menus are not displaying because of the game pad dual windows in certain games like wind Waker, how do I access certain game menus that are tethered to the game pad on steam deck?
