Decaf

Decaf is an open source project dedicated to researching Wii U emulation. The project Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPLv2+). You can discuss decaf at #wiiu-emu on freenode.

This package is available via the decaf package at packages.libregeek.org. This requires use of the testing repository. See README.md in the root of this repository for enabling this repository.

sudo apt-get install decaf

File formats

Decaf does not accept .WUD data files currently. You must extract the data files with tools, such as UWizard. UWizard is a Windows-only program, but launching the self-contained .exe via "Windows Wine Loader Application" works just fine.

A CLI tool, named wudecrypt is currently being packaged (Linux native).

Running games

The extracted directory will usually follow the game ID, such as "WUP-P-ARDE" for Super Mario 3D World. Running a game is quite simple.

From the compiled git source root:

build_dir/src/decaf-sdl/decaf-sdl play <WII_DIR>/<WII_GAME_DIR_EXTRACED>

From the packaged version SteamOS-Tools provides

decaf play <WII_DIR>/<WII_GAME_DIR_EXTRACED>
