To run games on Cemu, you’ll need the following resources and files:

• Wii U Game Files – Game ROMs: These are the game files from Wii U, typically dumped from a physical Wii U game disc or downloaded legally. The game files come in formats like .wud, .wux, .rpx, or extracted folders.
• DLC and Updates (optional): Many games require updates or downloadable content (DLC) for the best experience. These can be installed in Cemu by downloading and adding them to the game directory.
• Keys.txt File: The Keys.txt file is required to decrypt the Wii U games. This file contains the game decryption keys, which allow Cemu to run your game files. These keys must be obtained legally from your own Wii U console.
• Graphic Packs (Optional): Graphic Packs allow you to enhance the visuals of games by increasing the resolution, adding anti-aliasing, improving shaders, or modifying textures. These packs are game-specific and can be downloaded from the Cemu community.
• Shader Cache (Optional): Pre-built Shader Cache files improve performance by preventing stuttering when loading new shaders in games. These can be generated while playing or downloaded from community sources for smoother gameplay.
• Controller: You will need a compatible controller or keyboard and mouse setup. Cemu supports various controllers (e.g., Wii U Pro Controller, Xbox, PlayStation, or generic gamepads). Configuration is necessary for mapping the controls to suit your preferences.
  Optional Mods and Texture Packs: Some games have mods or high-definition texture packs developed by the community to enhance the experience further.
