Cemu Graphic Packs

Here we’ll repeat some info from above in a more detailed step-by-step guide of how to install graphic packs. This assumes you use the manual method of installing packs, and not the build-in automatic graphic pack downloader/updater.

1. Choose one of the 3 downloads from above. Each download has a range of versions it supports, pick the one that’s supported by your downloaded Cemu version.
2. Right-click on the graphicPacks307.zip and click “Extract all…” to extract all of the contents to a new folder.
3. Afterwards, open that folder you’ve just extracted it to and press Ctrl+A to select all the folders and then Ctrl+C to copy the files.
4. Browse to your Cemu folder and open the graphicPacks folder. Press Ctrl+V to paste your copied folders.
5. Go to Options->Graphic packs after you’ve started Cemu and enable the packs you want to use.

Some graphic packs might not be available for Cemu 1.14.0 and newer while previous versions did have graphic packs. This is due to the full reimplementation of the texture system in Cemu 1.14.0. This also changed a lot of the aspects with textures and made all previous graphic packs that changed textures outdated.

Hence, why some games have their graphic packs missing in the new versions for now.. You can search which games are supported above or see this project page for more detailed information.

This might be slightly technical, so carefully follow these steps. This’ll assume you use Cemu 1.14.0 packs and newer since only those contain presets. You can’t add ultrawide resolutions unless the resolution pack already supports ultrawide resolutions.

1. Open the resolution pack folder (either graphicPacks or graphicPacks/downloadedGraphicPacks) which follows the following name convention ShortTitle_Resolution, for example MarioKart8_Resolution.
2. Open the rules.txt file in notepad or something similar and find the following text (this is for 720p games, but 1080p will only have some changes in values):

[Preset]
name = 1280x720 (Default)
$width = 1280
$height = 720
$gameWidth = 1280
$gameHeight = 720

1. Now, change the $width and $height to the resolution you want. Some resolutions won’t work so choosing common monitor resolutions here is recommended. An extra step is needed if you’ve used Cemu’s build-in downloader: Copy the pack you’ve edited from the graphicPacks/downloadedGraphicPacks folder to the root graphicPacks folder to prevent it from being overwritten.
2. Choose the “(Default)” preset (the one you’ve edited) in the graphicPacks window and boot the game up. If it has any issues, follow the steps again and try a different resolution.
