  • Native Wii U release! FCE Ultra GX now runs natively on the Wii U as its own app, with its own icon on the Wii U Menu. Requires Aroma - run the latest Aroma release and launch the .wuhb directly from it
    • Output up to 1080p, with a new GPU-powered ScaleFX upscaler shader and a Sharp Bilinear shader, plus a scanline shader
    • Crisp, upscaled menus with sharper text and HD artwork
    • Full Wii U GamePad support - touch screen, buttons, and rumble - alongside Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic Controller, and Wii U Pro Controller
    • Correct 16:9 aspect ratio handling, with Wii U aspect ratio handling
    • SD card plus up to 3 USB drives at once, with hotplug. USB supports FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS (requires Mocha, an optional Aroma component)
    • Press the HOME button to open the Wii U menu overlay. In game, HOME still opens the app menu.
    • Sound plays on both the TV and the GamePad
    • Recommended: install Bloopair to pair Bluetooth controllers (Switch Pro, Joy-Con, DualShock/DualSense, Xbox, and more) as if they were a Wii U Pro Controller
  • Network shares now use libsmb2 (replacing the old SMB code) for modern SMB2/3 server support, on GameCube, Wii, and Wii U.
  • Wii: added support for multiple USB devices at once, with proper hotplug. Only devices that are actually mounted appear in the device list
  • GameCube: added hotplug support for SD Gecko and SD2SP2 - devices can now be inserted and removed while the app is running
  • Reworked and simplified the video settings, and added a new Emulation menu:
    • Video options are now: Output Mode, Aspect Ratio Correction, Cropping, Bilinear Filtering, Hardware Softening (GameCube/Wii), Upscaling, Scanline Overlay, Screen Zoom, and Screen Position
    • Scanlines are now an independent overlay that can be combined with any upscaling filter, replacing the old "TV Mode" filter
    • Game Timing, Sprite Limit, and Zapper Crosshair moved to the new Emulation menu
  • Note: due to renaming, settings will all be reset upon first load
  • Menu rumble is gentler
  • Updated FCEUX emulation with upstream fixes: PAL noise channel fix, an FDS IRQ timer fix, and added support for mapper 471
  • Fixed cheats from a cheat file not all starting disabled - they now all start off until you turn them on
  • Fixed a bogus "Not Vs. System; can't insert coin" message when pressing the coin/disk button in non-VS games
  • Korean translation updated
