Using Cemu on MacOS: A Comprehensive Guide

Cemu is a popular emulator that allows you to play Nintendo Wii and Wii U games on your Mac. One of its key features is support for various controllers, including the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and Pro Controller, as well as the DualShock 3, DualShock 4, and DualSense controllers via evdevhook.

The Xbox 360 Controller Emulator allows you to use your controller (gamepad, joystick, steering wheel, pedals, etc.) on your Mac as an Xbox 360 controller. Please note that only motion feature is provided, neither buttons nor touchscreen are mapped even if present. This means that the list of supported devices is constantly expanding as drivers become available.

Cemu also supports the motion control capabilities within the Steam Controller natively by setting the API to the SDLController API on Windows. Additionally, it supports the motion control capabilities within Nintendo Switch controllers natively by setting the API to the SDLController API on Windows.

For those who want to use a Wiimote, there are third-party alternatives available for motion control support via Wiimotes (MotionPlus model). These include WiimoteHook, which may work on Linux if wineconsole and the necessary dependencies are installed. This is particularly useful for games that require a Wiimote.

In Cemu's input options, you can use the emulated Wiimote Controller API option to support motion control with a real Wiimote. With OpenEmu, it's easy to add, browse, organize, and play your favorite games (ROMs) using a compatible gamepad.

For the first time, the 'It just works' philosophy extends to open source video game emulation on the Mac. Original Wiimotes only contain an accelerometer, so their functionality is limited. However, OpenEmu is about to change the world of video game emulation with its user-friendly interface and extensive controller support.

Overall, Cemu offers a range of features that make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to play Nintendo games on their Mac. With its support for various controllers and motion control capabilities, it's an emulator that's sure to please.
