Now patreon donators can download the latest build of Cemu. Plus it’s always good to donate to a project like this and as a reward, you probably get experimental builds & updates to bug fixes. Here’s the latest Patreon release.

Cemu detailed changelog for 1.7.3d

GX2: 1.7.3 accidentally broke compatibility with pre-1.7.3 cached shaders. This hotfix restores backward compatibility.
Also made some adjustments to guarantee this doesn’t happen again in the future

JIT: LWARX instruction now consumes multiple virtual cycles. This speeds up busy wait loops.

general: Screensaver/Standby should no longer come up while a game is playing in Cemu

Fixed bug in LCEnableDMA()
FSOpenFile() is no longer blocking CPU execution
Added internal support for priority-based path overloadingCemu will load patched game files
Cemu will load patched game files automatically from mlc01/usr/title/../../

ACP: Added ACP library. New API: ACPCheckApplicationDeviceEmulation()

AOC: Added proper support for AOC library. Addon content (DLC) is automatically loaded from mlc01/usr/title/../../aoc/ or mlc01/usr/title/../..//

AX: Fixed internal ADPCM playback offset calculation for addresses above 0x80000000

Input: Fixed bug that caused non-keyboard buttons to be detected as keyboard input

GX2: Improved implementation for GX2CalcTVSize() and GX2CalcDRCSize()
GX2: Shader code optimizations. Up to 40% faster compile time for float-only shaders (measured on NVIDIA)
GX2: Added support for shader OP3 CNDGT_INT instruction
