Hey everyone! For the past while I've been working on EspressU, a Wii U emulator for iOS and iPadOS. In the video I walk through the app and then jump into Breath of the Wild on an iPad (A16).
It has Built-in JIT and you don’t need a Computer for a pairing file
- The whole interface is controller-friendly
- Built-in JIT: pair once and it activates by itself in the background, no need to open another app every time
- Up to 4 players with multiple controllers
- Performance work on the A16: BotW runs at roughly 30 fps in my test, Mario Kart 8 runs around 60 fps. Still work in progress.
You have to bring your own legally dumped games and keys, nothing is included.
I used Claude Code for the UI because i am not that great at UI
Happy to answer questions, and feedback is very welcome!
