# Download the latest | === Setting up WUPS SDCafiine === | ||
SDCafiine is a Wii U homebrew program that will load modded game files from your SD card. The classic version has a history of serious stability problems, as the program eventually unloads from memory, and game files begin to revert to their un-modded state. An alternative version designed for the Wii U Plugin System (WUPS) is ''much'' more stable and does not usually unload, so it is recommended. | |||

To play BotW on Cemu, you'll need to [[Help:Dumping games|dump the game files]] from the console to your computer. | To play BotW on Cemu, you'll need to [[Help:Dumping games|dump the game files]] from the console to your computer. | ||
=== Adding your game path === | |||
Once you're in Cemu, head to <code>Options > General Settings</code> at the top bar, a new window will open. At the bottom of it you will see an <code>Add</code> button, click on it to add your game path. | |||
This should look something like <code>D:/Games/Wii U</code> (put your games from the Dumpling folder here), and Cemu will automatically get all your games, updates and DLCs from there. | |||
Note: On older versions (before Cemu 2.1), you have to install the update and DLC. | |||
To do so, navigate to <code>File > install game title, update or DLC</code> at the top bar, it will open the explorer. Head to <code>Dumpling/Updates/The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/meta</code> and select the meta.xml file. Follow the same processus for the DLC that should be at <code>Dumpling/DLCs/The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/meta</code>. | |||
If this has been done correctly, you should now see that Breath of the Wild is on version 1.5.0 and DLC on version 3.0 at the bottom right of the title screen in game. | |||
=== Setting up and Maximizing Performance === | |||
Now that you have Cemu and your games files, it is recommended you use [https://cemu.cfw.guide Emiyl's Cemu Setup Guide] to maximize performance on your hardware before installing mods. | |||

=== Installing mods using UKMM === | |||
Mods that are packaged as a graphic pack or as a BNP can be installed using [[Help:Tools/UKMM|UKMM]], a mod loading tool. In addition to being simpler than manually extracting and enabling the mod, UKMM is designed to resolve certain kinds of conflicts between different mods. Mods that modify many types of content, including the [[RSTB]], the same [[SARC]] files, or [[Message archives]], among many others, will not function properly together unless the changes are merged. UKMM does this automatically. To install mods with UKMM: | |||
# Install UKMM using the instructions [[Help:Tools/UKMM#Installation|here]]. | |||
# Open UKMM. | |||
# Set up UKMM using the instructions [[Help:Tools/UKMM#Setup|here]]. | |||
# Use the Install tab to install mods. (See [[Help:Tools/UKMM#No,_really,_how_do_I_use_it?|here]] if this is confusing) | |||
For more information on using UKMM, see the [https://nicenenerd.github.io/UKMM/ UKMM docs]. | |||
UKMM should automatically enable installed mods in Cemu, but check to make sure by opening the Cemu graphic pack menu and making sure the "UKMM" graphic pack under <code>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Mods/UKMM</code> is enabled. | |||
