Where to put the games
WiiU games should be put under the retrodeck/roms/wiiu/
directory.
The supported file formats are: .wua
and is the preferred method to use for Wii U games. But it also supports .wud
.wux
and .rpx
.
Where to put the keys.txt files
~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/data/Cemu
This will be changed in a later update to the BIOS folder.
How to add games
(This needs to be rewritten)
Start Cemu and install the game, any updates as well as optional DLCs to the Cemu NAND. After the installation is completed, open the Title Manager from the Tools menu, select your game, right click and select Convert to compressed Wii U archive (.wua
) and select your wiiu system directory as the target. You can modify the file name if you want to, or keep it at its default value. Press the Save button and the game will be automatically packaged as a .wua
file.
Following this, just start ES-DE and the game should be shown as a single entry that can be launched using Cemu.
