How To — Get Wii U Menu On Cemu !!better!!

Important Note: The Wii U Menu is not a "game" you can simply load. It is the operating system. To see it, you need a full NAND dump from a real Wii U console.

Report: Running the Wii U Menu on Cemu Emulator

5. Installation & Folder Structure in Cemu

Cemu expects a standard MLC (NAND) folder structure. The menu must be placed inside the mlc01 directory.

Target path (Cemu 1.26+):
Cemu_install_folder/mlc01/usr/title/00050010/10004000/ how to get wii u menu on cemu

Inside that folder, you need:

10004000/
├── code/
│   └── (app.xml, cos.xml, *.rpx)
├── content/
│   └── (men2.pack, layouts, sounds, etc.)
└── meta/
    └── (bootDrcTex.tga, iconTex.tga, meta.xml)

Required additional system titles (for settings and Mii): Important Note: The Wii U Menu is not

• Settings app: 00050010-10004100 (USA) → place in mlc01/usr/title/00050010/10004100/
• Mii Maker data: extract slccmpt01 from your real NAND dump to mlc01/sys/title/0005001b/100424000/ (varies by region)

Step 4 – Configure Input

• The Wii U Menu uses the GamePad touch screen. Under Options → Input settings:
  • Set Controller 1 to Wii U GamePad.
  • Map mouse to touch (or use a touchscreen device).

Part 2: What You Need to Get Started

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. A PC running Windows (or Linux/macOS with Wine). Cemu is primarily Windows-native.
2. Cemu Emulator (version 2.0 or later). Available from cemu.info.
3. A real Wii U console with custom firmware (Tiramisu or Aroma) installed.
4. An SD Card (at least 8GB) formatted to FAT32.
5. DumpMiiNand or UDUSBHelper – Tools to extract your console’s NAND.
6. The correct keys. You’ll need your console’s otp.bin and seeprom.bin (dumped via homebrew).

Step 4: Launching the Wii U Menu

1. Open Cemu.
2. In the top menu bar, click Options > General Settings.
3. Go to the MLC tab and ensure your mlc01 path is correctly set to the folder containing your system files.
4. Important: The Wii U Menu acts like a game. You must load it manually.
5. Click File > Load.
6. Navigate to your mlc01\sys\title\00050010\1004a100\code folder.
7. Select the cos.xml file (or sometimes the .rpx file depending on the version).
8. The Wii U Menu should now boot up, displaying the Wara Wara Plaza and your installed games.

Step 5: Configure Controls for the Menu

The Wii U Menu requires:

• GamePad view (by default, Cemu shows the TV output)
• Pointer/Aiming for certain icons

To fix this:

1. In Cemu, go to Options → Input Settings.
2. Set Controller 1 to Wii U GamePad.
3. Map your mouse to touch/pointer if needed.
4. Alternatively, press Ctrl + Tab to swap between TV and GamePad screens.

Problem 1: A Black Screen (No Audio or Video)

• Cause: Missing otp.bin or seeprom.bin.
• Fix: Ensure both files are in Cemu/mlc01/. They must be dumped from your console; generic files won’t work due to console-unique encryption.
