Thank you for everything you have provided here. Very thoughtful and detailed discussion. Now I'm definitely going to try Fast Racing Neo using your tutorial 😮
Thanks for the video. Since i actuaqlly have most WiiuPorts on Switch, i will not personally have much use of this part when my RP5 arrives. I might as well do the Zelda GC instead...though this Wiiu version looks charming. There is a few games you tested though, the racer from Shin'en, that i will definitely test. Thanks again for the trick of compiled packs.
Can you please go beyond the intro scene in windwaker. It isn't a good representation on whether or not this game is playable. The first fight scene (outset islands mountain top) is just a little beyond the intro and has a heavy amount of particles. I'd like to see it run that before I'd consider this game playable.
I'm excited for my RP5 to arrive. I have a bunch of Wii U games I would love to play on the go! Hope it's not too difficult to bring them over to the RP5
I think "green boy with magic air wand" needs to be tested on the third island. There's a "heat wobble" effect, which slows down the fps in a big way. Would love to see you explore this on Wii U and GameCube.
Hey man, good job on the new channel. Your style is really accessible. With regards to Little Prince Boy Breath Ariser, it struggles and stalls real bad when weather effects hit. The starting island doesn’t expose this. Have you tried visiting bird man island? Particularly the bit that’s really dry with lots of particles in the air. It’s when the system first really really struggles.
Thanks a lot! I haven't had the time to get that far unfortunately. If you'd like to ask about it more, feel free to join my discord (link in newest videos description) and I'm sure some people can help out :)
Thank you for another great guide video! Though I have to say I’m a little afraid of trying out the shader packs and getting spoiled by the feeling of no shader loading in my games!
Can you show us a bit later into wind waker where you're fighting multiple enemies perhaps? I'm setting up multiple RP5s as Christmas gifts and I'd rather use windwaker hd but if it bogs down later in the game i may only install the GCN version. Thanks!
It bogs down sooo bad when you get to the island with the birdmen that deliver mail. Seems like weather effects and particle effects really slows everything down to 15 fps. It really lags.
Saving this for when my GC RP5 gets here, thanks for this! Most emulators have an option to preload the shader caches before starting the game, hopefully this emulator will get something similar to counter this process. Until then, this is the way.
Still having issues loading past the first race on Mario Kart. Tried a different rom, followed all your advice, and I still can't get it past the first race.
Can someone with an old phone with a snapdragon 865 do a benchmark side but side with the RP5? I don't remember the performance being this good on phones with this chip The cooling in the RP5 may be handling the chips max performance better compared to an enclosed phone shell.
Have you tested Twilight Princess HD? I saw someone else test it and the mini map wasn't working for them. I feel like if anyone could find a solution to that, it would be you though haha also haven't seen Breath of the Wild successfully emulated on there yet.
Hey - do you have the bug in Mario Kart 8 on CEMU where it freezes after the first race in a Grand Prix/Versus? I'm having that issue despite having the latest SSimco version of CEMU, the precompiled shader pack, and not having any particular graphics mods enabled.
Thanks for this excellent deep dive. I'm very excited to get mine in hand. I'd love to see some EA FC through Xbox Game Pass. I guess if it's available in your region.
Love your channel. Watch all your videos. Have a question tough: Can you use segments or don't you use them for a reason? Especially with guides where you want to look back certain sections the intervals in the videos can be really useful.
Thank you! I added a couple of chapters to this video now, hopefully that makes it a bit easier to navigate. I haven't so far because I just don't have much time as I'm working a full-time job and then making these after work every day. I'll try to find the time to add segments.
Hi Ryan, Could you test supersmash brothers? I just got my RP5 but it works fine except that the characters are not fully showing, have you got the same issue?
Hey i have question,which is probably a stupid one,but its still worth asking,lets say hypothetically i had friends,and i wanted to play mario kart 8 with those friends,is it possible to connect 4 controllers to a phone via bluetouth and share the phones screen to a tv?in the likely case that the answer is a no,is it possible to set up a lan and everyone plays through their own phone?
@logan451 i see,i have an s20 fe with the snapdragon 865 (same as the rp5)so i guess mario kart 8 split screen would be too heavy but i might try mario kart wii,thanks for the response!
Hi Ryan, thanks for your informative videos, as always! A question: I erased all the old shader files on my device and replaced them with the ones download from that site. However, I still have shader compiling in the games themselves, and I also don't see that progress bar at the start of the game, as shown in your video. I checked the correct version, and also tried a shader file from another source, with the same result. Is there anything I could be missing? Thanks.
Did you check the shaders are definitely in the correct folder? Open Cemu and then go to settings and choose 'Open Cemu folder' then from there go to ShaderCache -> transferable. Check all those files are in there. I think there's also a setting in the general options to toggle about shaders as well that you can check (it should be on by default so you could try resetting all Cemu's settings to default).
@@RyanRetro1 Thanks for coming back to me Ryan. Yes, the files are in the shaderCache folder when I check from Cemu. I deleted the settings.xml to have fresh settings, but this still did not work. Weird, huh? You are also using the SSimco build of Cemu, right? Is there any other preferred fork maybe?
Hi I’m in uk ordering one of these Thursday from goretroid should I pick dhl delivery option anyone from uk that ordered from there in the past? Delivery time etc. ?
DHL should come faster but you'll likely have to pay customs of like 20 quid. If you choose the other option you probably won't have to pay any customs but it could take quite a bit longer to come.
Is it just me, or does the framerate not bother anyone else? for example, for a 60fps game, it DOES bother me when it drops to 58 for those two or three frames. this isn't smooth performance to me at all 😕
For me anything between 50-60 is imperceptible as being different. I notice 60 vs 90 but a 10 or less frame gap when over 50 looks the same for me. Maybe your eyes are just better than mine!
I don't think so unfortunately. Cemu is still quite new on Android and it drops the game from memory whenever you turn off the screen or switch apps for a while.
New sub! I played Wind Waker HD on my RP5 and experienced lag when doing the spin attack on a field of grass on the first island. After putting the RP5 into high performance mode it went better. On Dragon Roost Island I get stuttering and FPS drops as soon as you are going to do explosions and into the dungeon which I couldn't fix yet... Also the game stops working if you use the photo box or the bottle for online letters. Which is a shame for the box, since a few quests are bound to it. I think the console doesn't know where to save the photos too and that resolves into an error... Any suggestions? :3
Thanks for subscribing - I'm happy to have you here! Maybe you can try asking in my Discord because a lot of people have more experience in that game than me :)

After I play the first track on Mario Kart 8, the loading screen just stays on a constant loop and won’t go onto the next track. Any advice or ideas to why this is happening?
That's a common issue and I don't think there's a fix unfortunately. I'd recommend playing it on CEMU instead. It looks the same and runs perfectly afaik
@@serrysays Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about a different version! Cemu is the one that stops after the first race. You can play further on by playing it on the 'Secret Console' instead
Hi, Ryan! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. After watching this video, I ordered my RP5 right away! it'll arrive next month But I have a problem now. I have RP4P I was testing the CEMU before RP5 arrived. was going to play a game where a little kid goes out to sea to save the princess however, when I move on from the title screen to the game, all I see is a red screen and I don't see anything else Even I didn't set anything from CEMU Even when I put in a compiled file All have the same problem. Is there anyone who has solved this problem? If so, please leave a comment If the next video is planned I want to see the Metroid series!
I'm sure you're gonna love the RP5! Is that the same game I showed in this video? I'm not sure about that issue, unfortunately. Maybe you could try a different ROM such as switching from EU to US or vice-versa. Hope you get it figured out!

I hope all emulators will get that!
I see you have Black Flag on the Wii U, have you tested how it runs?
After filming this video I tried to open it and it crashed the same way Black Ops 2 did. I'll have a look into it
Mine crashes as soon as I complete a race.. whether I do the shaders pre-loaded or not :/
Cemu graphics issue, definitely need to address this in the video!!
Hey have you tried Open Morrowind? Or Winlator and Oblivion? Seems like just the powerful little device to run those both with HD mods etc
Still having issues loading past the first race on Mario Kart. Tried a different rom, followed all your advice, and I still can't get it past the first race.
Is there a way to add amibos? Want to play Twilight Princess with the Ganondorf amibo applied.

Can someone with an old phone with a snapdragon 865 do a benchmark side but side with the RP5?
