Founded in February 2005, YouTube allows billions of people to discover, watch and share originally created videos. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original-content creators and advertisers, large and small.

Known Issues

Softlock

YouTube softlocks since Cemu 1.8.1. Fixed in Cemu 1.15.10.

Crashes

  • Does not crash in the menu if the Wii U system files are present.
  • Cemu may and probably will crash during video playback.
  • Cemu crashes when trying to search or go to the settings tab.

Freezes

  • May freeze during video playback or in the menu.

Slowdowns

  • May slowdown drastically during video playback or browsing the menu. Log files contain coreint.exit(1) printed repeatedly.

Failed to Connect

  • As of Cemu 1.15.10 Youtube sometimes fails to connect. (Might be fixed?)
Pretty sure that says failed or something like that.

Configuration

  • Requires Cemuhook and Cemuhook h.264 to play videos.
  • Works only on single-core recompiler.
  • Renders UI upside-down. So you will need to use the render upside-down option in Debug.

1.25.6 Windows 10 EUR Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H NVidia GTX 1660Ti 6GB カリー (Kallie) 60 Perfect Vulkan API. Works perfectly on this version of CeMU, audio functions very well (a feature of which does not appear to function with CeMU version 1.26.0). This is the version of CeMU I recommend for viewing YouTube videos through Wii U emulation. See my YouTube test with CeMU version 1.26.0d for more detailed information about YouTube on CeMU.
1.26.0d
Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes
1.26.0d Windows 10 EUR Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H NVidia GTX 1660Ti 6GB カリー (Kallie) 60 Runs Vulkan API. Runs well and videos will load even without the need for cemuhook, however all videos seem to lack audio of any kind. Signing into an account through the YouTube mobile app does not function, however signing in through a browser and entering the code on screen works. Adjusting the speed of a video does not change anything, as the video will still continue to play in its original speed. Exiting YouTube through pressing B on the home screen does not stop the emulation unlike with the Friends List app, but instead simply goes back to the YouTube home screen. Consistent 60fps.
