Some big news for the small world of Wii U emulation, with the announce that popular Wii U emulator Cemu goes open source. This 2.0 release also brings Linux support! Exzap, the main developer...
Nintendo hasn’t pushed the limit on tech since almost a decade before I was born . They are easy to emulate on anything with a gpu at this point. Weak consoles ar based. Easy to emulate
Define average. However, it is free and takes less than half an hour to find out. Emulation requirements often assume higher standards. I ran ps3 emulators below recommended recs to a standard I was capable of enjoying on a 10 year old high power at release laptop. Nintendo consoles are universal in being weak and behind the curve technologically. This is intentional with logically sound reasons, but the point is they are easy af to emulate.
PS4 emulation is speeding up and booting more commercial games, and PS5 emulation has already begun. The PS5 is ultimately a souped up PS4 and was quietly exploited like a month after it was released due to its similarity to the PS4 platform - PS4 exploits actually run on PS5 as-is lol.
I say we’re about a year out before we see the Bloodborne title screen at current pace.

https://github.com/red-prig/fpPS4 (Sonic Mania playable at full speed)
https://github.com/Inori/GPCS4 (can boot a commercial game)
https://github.com/devofspine/spine (about 360 games bootable, 4 playable)
https://github.com/AlexAltea/orbital (low level research project, not really designed for booting games)
rpcs4 is also being developed by the founder of rpcs3, no repo yet
It's not as optimized as something like Dolphin (but what is these days?) but it's come a long way in performance and there are a lot of fan made patches for the popular games that improve performance even more, so I'd recommend giving it a try.
i can run BotW decently well with a GPU that's equivalent to the GTX 750 ti and an i5 6500. so yeah, if your PC was built for gaming in the last ~5 years you should not have any trouble pretty much.
How well does an emulator like this run on an average PC?
