You can now play Wii U on Android handhelds

The Wii U emulator, CEMU for Android, is now available as a very early public beta.

The first very early build of CEMU is now available for Android bringing one of my favourite platforms to devices like the Odin2 Mini or the AYANEO Pocket S. Currently the beta will only run on devices with a Snapdragon chip, so while the Retroid Pocket 5 will be supported, devices like its predecessor will not run the beta.

As tested by Russ, the beta is still rough with graphical issues left and right, but a lot of games run mostly fine.

With this release, Android as an emulation platform has become much more interesting to me, as I love emulating Wii U games. I can't wait to try this for myself.

You can download the beta on the official GitHub page.
