Download

You can download the latest Cemu releases for Windows, Linux and Mac from the GitHub Releases. For Linux you can also find Cemu on Flathub.

On Windows, Cemu is available both as an installer and in a portable format, where no installation is required besides extracting it in a safe place.

The native macOS build is currently purely experimental and should not be considered stable or ready for issue-free gameplay. There are also known issues with degraded performance due to the use of MoltenVK and Rosetta for ARM Macs. We appreciate your patience while we improve Cemu for macOS.

Pre-2.0 releases can be found on Cemu's changelog page.

Build Instructions

To compile Cemu yourself on Windows, Linux or macOS, view BUILD.md.
