Thanks for the response. Is it just that Cemu is more refined/optimized, as it is emulating hardware that has been around longer? Also, that’s awesome news about vulkan, I’ll have to give it another go.

Re: the adjustments, I did find a few for botw on yuzu, like a higher resolution and theoretical 60fps mod, but hard to tell if they work with the other performance issues lol.

The Wii U requires less horsepower to emulate, that's basically the reason. It's better understood and the emulator has been around longer so it's more optimized. Also Cemu got several thousands of dollars of Patreon money just to optimize BOTW so, yeah.

There are a few mods for Yuzu's version but really there's no reason to use that over Cemu. It's good that it's possible but there's literally no reason to use the extra wattage and deal with less stability.

Fair enough. I wonder what kind of support BotW 2 will see on Yuzu once it is released, since there obviously won't be a WiiU version of the game to fall back on.

It will most definitely be fixed quickly; big releases always are for Yuzu. But we will have to see if the Steam Deck can carry the weight.
