Cemu 1.16.0b released! (Patreon)

Hey Patrons,
this release marks the end of our 1.16.0 work-in-progress cycle.  We want to thank everyone for supporting us and helping with testing our Vulkan experimental versions during the last few months.
While we consider Vulkan stable already, it still isn't up to par with the OpenGL renderer in every regard. We will continue to improve and optimize the Vulkan backend over the upcoming releases.

Changelog: 

  • Added Vulkan renderer 
  • Bug fixes & minor improvements  

Hotfix 1.16.0b resolves an issue with transform feedback on Nvidia GPUs.

Additional changes since WIP 16:  

  • Added shader cache support to Vulkan renderer (cross compatible with OpenGL caches, including backwards compatibility with pre-1.16.0 caches)
  • Graphic pack 'Reload shaders' button now works in Vulkan
  • Emulate transform feedback via shader storage on AMD and Intel GPUs
  • Lots of smaller fixes and internal changes

We are still in the process of compiling a full detailed changelog. We will post it together with the public release in a week. 

How to get Cemu 1.16.0b:

But it's not Nvidias fault AMD has terrible OpenGL drivers on Windows.

I see few graphical glitches here and there in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, once that were reduced vs WIP16 are in Zora's Domain, Rito Stable and Rito Village. But there is one that is here since the beginning of successful emulation of BotW, that is the Rucco Maag Shrine, that is those roots around it make a lot of garbage glitches at least on my RX590. Here is short video showing all of this, at the end is what gfx packs options am I using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkOBzLJaXQA While recording I got almost 10+fps drops almost everywhere... Running this on Ryzen 5 3600 (stock), 16GB DDR4 3200MHz, RX590 and from SSD. Nevertheless, thanks for big improvement and all the hard work you guys are doing for this emulator...

RX Vega 56 + i7 4790 on Vulkan 1.16.0b Mario Kart 8: 60fps / Darkened color of the dolls in the game, but the rest is quiet. New Super Mario Bros. U: 60fps with very little crashes, it still seems to recompile shader during the game. Star Fox Zero: 60fps Quiet Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze: 60fps with some crashes / Does not compile Shader Vulkan / Crash during the game. ZELDA BOTW: 60fps with few crashes / Good performance.

Edit 3: Issue was introduced in 1.15.20, just tested 1.15.19 and it's fine. Edit 2: Found an old copy of 1.15.18 in my download folder and the issue is not present in that one, so that most probably started at 1.15.19 (1.15.20f & the current 1.16.0b have the issue). Hi Team, since the last couple versions (at least 2-3 in the past) I noticed that in Bayonetta 2, Cemu would randomly crash to desktop and the log file would not register any crashes at all (most probably other games but I havent really used Cemu that much lately). Today I was able to reproduce the problem at will in New Super Mario Bros U. It crashes all the time in Frosted Glacier 2 - I get the little blue yoshi-like creature in the overwolrd before going in the stage, mashing the ZR buttons while speeding the stage after eating and or trapping a couple of ennemies in bubbles, the game freezes 1-2 seconds like it wants to compile a shader and crash to desktop - same as Bayonetta 2. This happens in both OpenGL and Vulkan renderers, tested with & without any previous shader cache (started a new one). In OpenGL the log file does not show any crashes, but in Vulkan it is quite verbose, here it is: [20:35:37] Outdated graphic pack or unknown version in 'E:/ClassicEditions/Emulators/Cemu/graphicPacks/BreathOfTheWild_LwzxNullCheck\rules.txt' [20:35:37] ------- Init Cemu 1.16.0b (Patreon release) ------- [20:35:37] Init Wii U memory space (base: 0x1fbdf920000) [20:35:37] mlc01 path: E:\ClassicEditions\Emulators\Cemu\mlc01\ [20:35:37] Cemuhook version: 0.5.7.3 [20:35:37] CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor [20:35:37] RAM: 16303MB [20:35:37] Used CPU extensions: SSSE3, SSE4.1, AVX2, AES-NI [20:35:37] COS: System fonts found.

Sooo, BOTW just won't work with 1.16.0b for me at all. All other .rpx files load fine, and correctly prompt about shadercache changeover. U-king.rpx throwing up an "unhandled exception" - tried again with 1.15.20f, boots fine. Tried 1.16.0b fresh, and pasted over a fresh 1.15.20f. Nothing works. It's the USA rom I've used since pretty much the dawn of cemu. please fix :(

Brian Handy

Wonderful stuff! Is part of a plan for eventual Mac support?

botw crashes immediately after shader cache compiles

can somebody PLEASE Share the shader cache for vulkan?! my vulkan api only works in shrines, but crashes ANYTIME I leave a shrine. AMD A12-9800 Radeon R7 AMD R7 Graphics (Carrizo) DDR4 8Gb

Debes generarlo tu mismo, si se bloquea debes esperar a que sigan desarrollando el backend vulkan, otro desactiva los paquetes gráficos y en depurar habilita Loging/ "Vulkan Validation Layer"

Steven van Soest I keep having the same problem with this version. Installed it, do al the settings right. Play one session, next time i reboot the system, the emulator loads, BOTW loads (loading shaders) and then the CEMU window completely disappears

Why are there new change logs? We're to 1.16.0d according to your website.
