For all of you who still have this problem, you need to paste the key file in the CEMU directory, to enter that folder click or tap on the CEMU file option, click open the Cemu folder there, you can paste the keys file and then restart the application. That should solve the problem.

I have downloaded a rom data for Windwaker and it is an WUX file and it looks exactly like your files : xenoblade sonic boom etc.. And I have moved into the Wii U Roms file but cemu does not find the game at all even through Install game title.. Is there a specific way how to unpack the files? When I download it it's a zip file and then I unpack it put it into my usb drive and then into my Steamdeck (to the Wii U roms file). Also do WUD Keys work on WUX roms? If anybody can help me I would really appreciate that ^^
Try looking up "Wind Waker HD RPX file" That file type you just extract it and place the folder you get into the roms folder. You don't need keys or anything for that file type. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing me where to put all the files! Keep in mind that there are also different keys for file type as well as region. A NUS key will be different from a WUD/WUX key!
@@Hobbyforhealthy I haven't need to do that yet but I will when I play Sonic Boom. So I'll look into it and when I figure out how to do it I will make a video like this one.
Are all the KEYS for WUX formatted games? For example - I have super Mario 3D World (USA), but when I check the keys, there are two options: (1) 3cec63f6c87d47ae13768d9542f9e979 # Super Mario 3D World [USA, NUS] & (2) e23aea154f1428156d25bfcc40f63856 # Super Mario 3D World [USA, WUD. So which one to use? Both say USA while one is NUS and the other is WUD. I do not see any WUX! Also, your video shows the "keys.txt" placed in the Wii U folder. Do we simply place the entire keys.txt file there or just the one applicable to the game. Please elaborate, thanks!
All you have to do is open the "Keys" file. It will open in a notepad-type file and then paste the full key file on its own line. The lines are numbered, and you can paste both keys in there. As long as you have one Key that works it doesn't matter how many you have there. Hope that helped thanks for watching!
The controls just WON'T work for me... I've tried everything, setting the controller settings in the cemu settings, doing it per individual game like you showed, changing the steam inputs to the cemu profile etc NOTHING works and it's so frustrating because the game itself launches just fine but I can't play it because no button is working. Also I can't choose "Deck" as my profile but "Deck-Gyroscope" is that the problem? I said each individual game to match it so I don't see how that would be the problem :/
I did the exact same thing as you did and when I launch Wind Waker the controls don't work too, even though they work for you. I'm so defeated 😭Please someone help if you know how to fix it
@@maxil8988 You might need to go into Cemu in desktop mode. Configure the controls in Cemu first. Try playing the game from desktop mode to see if that works. Then I would try it with the Steam Launcher. Hope that helps good luck. Thanks for watching!
I only have the mlc01 file and roms when you go to [emulation > roms > Wii U ]. Ive tried reinstalling cemu from emudeck, reinstalling emudeck itself, deleting cemu and reinstalling from online and the folder locations always come back so that I only have mlc01 and roms. I looked it up but no one else had this problem. there aren't that many steam deck tutorials for cemu either so I dont really know what to do. Any idea what the deal is?
I found yoshi wiiu usa keys for wux added them where you said but only got a grey screen when executed cemu. Screen says cemuand version at top and under on left has file, options, tools, cpu, nfc, debug, help. Next line on left has icon, and game. Center it has version, dlc, you’ve played, last played, region. As this is my first time doing this and first game which is not working it is blank.
for me twilight princess didn’t even show up i got the european version because that’s what i saw in the keys and set the directory to my sd card but the game would not show up or manually load in either
It might be the file. I would try getting the US WUX and then google "Twilight Princess HD keys" and see if you can find on that works. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks... im trying to get some wux working on windows pc... amazing spiderman limited edition does not work... do i have to add keys for it? It's seems to be impossible with some wux find right keys?
Yeah some times it is hard to find the right keys. I have found a few games I can't find the right keys for some. Just try your best on googling and try to find the right one. I wish I could be more helpful but thanks for watching!
I have the keys, the games in a roms folder, but when I open cemu they don't show the games and when I try to start the game it tells me that it can't. I don't know if I have skipped a step or Im missing a file
You might not have the right keys. The keys are region specific. I would recommend searching around google for other keys that hopefully work. Or try to find the RPX file of the game. That file doesn't need a key. Thanks for watching!
I don't know if you can remove updates, but I have a video on installing the update and DLC. It is right here: th-cam.com/video/K31QdZ3uyM8/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
i cant find the keys.txt file ANYWHERE the game appears in my steam library but when i open it it gives me an error and i cant seem to find the keys.txt file whatsoever

Any tips or tricks on how to get the Wii U games to work on batocera ? I have batocera installed on an SD card and my other Wii U Rom (Wind Waker HD) opens and runs just fine. Trying to do the same for Twilight Princess HD and it doesn’t work.
I saw you had twilight princess HD and im trying to download that but even with the keys its not working, i also assume i got the wux from the same place you did based on main firefox page. did they change something with it?
I was able to get mine running with the keys I found. You might want to try getting another game file. You might have a different region so the keys you have don't match. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
when getting to the key portion I have no key in primary emulation roms wiiu then no key. I used Wudd to dump my wiiu game from the disc to sd then to pc then usb to primary micro sd unmount and open. Not sure what I did wrong.Any help would be appreciated.
Cemu only reads WUX and RXP files if your game files aren't that I don't think Cemu will read them. And If you have them as a WUX you will need the key. Hope that helps good luck and thanks for watching!
Make sure you have the right keys. The keys are region specific, and a lot of sites might have keys that don't work. I would recommend seeing if you can find another key some where and try that. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
I used the PS3 emulator to play it. I will be honest it is a little glitchy but I think it is playable. I don't have a video for it but if you look up "How to set up "RPCS3 Set up Steam Deck" you should be able to find something. Thanks for watching and hope that helps.
Quick question, I have Zelda BOTW, however it is an all in one with dlc and in a .wux file. After getting the key working, I get "you need to perform a system update ", how can I update a .wux file? thx
I think you have to get the update file for the Cemu itself. I am not quite sure how to do that, because I haven't tried but I am sure if you look up "How to update BOTW for Cemu" You will find your answer. Thanks for watching!
If you don't have the "Keys" file you can just make a text file, paste your keys into there, and name it Keys. It also might show up if you try to load a game one time. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
I don't have a keys file in the wii u folder. Did I miss something? I'm trying to see the games on Cemu but because i don't have the keys i cant see them
Try loading a game on time in CEMU and I think that will create a Key file for you. If not just make a text file called "Keys" and place it in that folder. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
When I execute cemu my game opens to title and start button glows but you can’t click it. It just sits there playing music. I don’t know if it is a pathway problem or wrong key. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
It isn't a key problem if it was you wouldn't be able to start the game. I would say check the controls make sure they are set up right. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
You can add as many Keys as you want to the key file it won't effect anything. As long as you have the right key for the game somewhere in the Key file you are good. Thanks for watching!
Sure you can it basically a note pad file, so it doesn't take up space. Just be sure to check the spacing, and each key is on it's own line. Thanks for watching!
I show it off in the video on how to use the keys. You just copy and paste it in the key file. And check the description for a list of keys. Thanks for watching!
I couldn't find the right keys for WW HD but if you look up RPX file type you don't need keys for that type. I found a WW HD file like that and all you need to do is put that file in the roms folder with your games. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Hi I have a question. I have the key for wind waker hd(EUR, WUD), but it's still saying it can't decrypt the title and I need the right key. Is there anything I'm missing?
You might not have the right keys in there. I would recommend searching for the Keys for ever region and pasting them in the key file. As long as you have the right one in there it should work. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Try opening Cemu and loading a game one time. I think that will create a "Key" file for you. If not just open a notepad save that file as "Keys" and place it in the folder it should be. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Strange. I did everything correctly and the game still won't run. I found the key for the game I am trying to play and made sure its in the right folder and the emulator still refuses to play at all.
You might need to find different keys and check that the keys are pasted in the key file on their own line with the correct spacing. If all else fails try finding the RPX file for the game. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
@@italianmob4566 I am happy the videos helped. If you open Cemu in the desktop mode in the emulator go to Graphics Pack and there are options you can do to help tweak the graphics and gameplay performance. Also, there are cheats in the graphics pack as well. Thanks for watching!
It is but you would have to change the file directory in the Steam Rom Manager. I am not sure if you can have it look in two spots at once. You might just have to change it every time you want to switch. Thanks for watching!
You have to open the key file and paste the key code in yourself. Then the game should show up if you have the right keys for it. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Great video... except while the games are loading in the emulator; I can't get them to run through Gaming Mode... I don't know what I am doing wrong =( Was hoping to find the answer here.
It sounds like an issue with Emudeck and the Steam Rom Manager. I cover that part at 16:20 in the video. Some tips 1. Make sure the rom directory is set to the correct folder in the Steam Rom Mannager. 2. There are two Wii U emulator tabs in the Rom Manager make sure they are both checked on. 3. And when you update the rom manager to add games, make sure you wait until you see a message that says it is finished. It might take a second for it to come up. 4. If all deals fail you can always try to uninstall and reinstall Emudeck and try again. Hope that helps.Good luck thanks for watching!
@xin0555 Yeah, when I attempt to run a .wux title (Twlight Princess) from my Micro SD card; it gives me this: Unable to launch game Path: Z:/run, etc. etc. Title name (.wux) I do have the correct title key. It was previously working when a friend did everything for me, but I made some mistakes and had to do everything again on my own (want to actually). This is where I am struggling though however. Everything, including ROMs, Emudeck files, etc. is on the Steam Deck. I have almost all the other emulators I want working doing except these games on CEMU. I have 2 (.rpx) games working through SteamOS.
@@kyleb7047 It is hard for me to say when I can't actually look at it. It sounds like you installed emudeck on the Steam Deck it self, so I would try putting the Wii U roms on the deck itself rather then the SD card. I'll be honest I am not expert on this so my knowledge is very limited. Also make sure there are no extra spaces in the Key codes. That happened to me once.
@@xin0555 I ended up just ultimately getting my games in (.rpx) files instead. The other formats I have messed around in vain for hours. I appriciate you responses though, thank you =D
My Wii U folder does not come with a Keys folder. Am I supposed to make it myself? None of this is working, might be cause wrong key, or making my own Keys folder? I'm getting a little confused. Thanks in advance.
I believe if you open Cemu and try to load a game it will create the Key file for you. Try that if not you should be able to make a text file called "Keys" and place it where it needs to be. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Do you know how to fix the error code where it says “couldn’t create mlc01 subfolder or file” I have every key and rom that is needed (I think). I’m somewhat new to emulation and every video I’ve seen has said it is already set up, I can find the mlc01 file but it still says it can’t find it
Honestly I am not sure I have never run into this problem before. I am not an expert on emulation I really just figured out how to get Cemu game running and made this video. If it was me I would try installing and starting fresh. Try using "Emu Deck" It is a program that does most of the installing and set put for you. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. Good luck.
I would recommend pasting all the region keys for the game in the Key file. Also check spacing if there an extra or no space between the keys you paste in that would cause them to not work. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
You can make a text file called "Keys" and place it in the folder it needs to be. It might show up too if you try to load a game 1 time. Thanks for watching!
Great video and amazing details! I tried to get the key for hyrule warriors and I found 2 different keys and neither one of them seems to get the game to pop up in the cemu Launcher tool, any suggestions?
The only think I can say is just keep looking for the key. I had to search to get Xenoblade X key but I found it eventually on a reddit post. Jut make sure you have the region matches the the key. And you might want to try find a RPX file for the game. If you find that you don't need a key. Good luck and thanks for watching!
I go over the emudeck step near the end of the video. If they are not showing up in the game mode, make sure you follow the steps and it should work. Thanks for watching!
So in the Steam Rom Manager there is a list of emulators with switches next to them. You have to make sure the very first oe that says "Parsers" is clicked on, then you can click the rest on. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@banafighta You have to tick the Parser the also tick on the 2 Wii U emulators too. But if you are doing that and it is still not working you might want to uninstall and re install emudeck.
@@xin0555 The rpx file I found had nothing inside it. Will keep searching. Found an wux file that has a "?" on it. Will it still run? You are the only person who gives step by step instructions on how to get these wux files to run. I won't quit until I get WW HD to run on my Deck.
@@lexbeltran1354 I can't say where to download the game files, but if you google "Wii u Roms Download" then you should find some sites to get the wux files. I am not sure about the "?" but if it is a wux file and you have the right key for it things should work. hope that helps.
When I open up the wiiu file I couldn’t find the keys.txt file. I read the other comments and none of the solutions fixed the problem. Is there a place where I could find working keys?
I got it figured out but thanks! I would recommend making a video showing Wii usb helped because that was how I got it to work. Wii usb helped makes a rpx file for you so no key is needed
I know it’s tough to get a precise “location” for the roms but can someone help me out if possible, im looking for Zelda windwaker HD but whenever I find a site it makes me try to download something I don’t want
If you google "Name of the game rom" you should find it. You might have to navigate through a sketchy website, but if you have an ad blocker, you should be fine. Also, you might be downloading a zip file that you can use Winrar or 7 Zip to extract. Thanks for watching.
Try loading a game one time and I think after that Cemu will create the key file for you. If not just make a text file called "Keys" and that should work too. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
My breath of the wild still doesn’t work “there is no windows program configured to open this type of file” im guessing that’s something with proton right?
I am not sure I don't have windows running on my steam deck. If you used Emudeck to install the emulators everything should be set up for you. Hope that helped. Thanks for watching!
@@xin0555 yeah the thing is im not on windows, im on steam os and ive set up emudeck and downloaded the breath of the wild rom. I put the the breath of the wild rom in cemu and got the keys just like this video and it still wont show up in my cemu idk whats wrong and how to fix it.. This goes for my Ps3 emulator too, i downloaded a rom and added to the ps3 rom folder and i started the emulator and it wont show up still.
@@Wenomars For PS3 you have to get the firmware update first then the emulator will work. For BotW you need to install the update and DLC files in order to play it. I actually just made a video on how ti do that. You might want to consider uninstalling emudeck and reinstalling it.
You might have to check you have the right keys, and make sure they are on there own line. It is region locked so make sure they match up. Hope that helps. thanks for watching!
@@xin0555 I’m trying for smash bros, super Mario 3d world and new super mario bros. The only thing that worked was Raymen the same issue as you was controller
@@bigboiahah2 For Raymen I think that game might not be compatible with the pro controller. So in the Controler Congfig, you might have to map it to the Wii U gamepad.
I am not sure about that one. This tutorial is old now so I don't know if they changed the way the games are added. Hope you find a solution thanks for watching!
Honestly, I have it on my steam deck but I haven't played it yet. It might be an emulation issue. I would say check a compatibility list for Wii U, or check if there are any fixs. Thanks for watching and good luck.
I am not sure I don't have you steam deck Infront of me so I can't really say. You need to have Cemu work in order to follow the tutorial. Once you install emudeck it should set up the emulators for you, but you can always try manually installing the Cemu emulator. That might help. Thanks for watching!
I have done everything in this video. I even put every key i could find for Xenoblade in there and CEMU still will not recognize any games. Always says it cant find the keys. Im about to give up.
I would say make sure you are pasting the keys in the key file on their own line. Spacing matters so if one thing is off it won't work. I know I got Xenoblade X working on my device so if you have everything set up right it should work.I wish you luck and thanks for watching!

I have downloaded a rom data for Windwaker and it is an WUX file and it looks exactly like your files : xenoblade sonic boom etc.. And I have moved into the Wii U Roms file but cemu does not find the game at all even through Install game title.. Is there a specific way how to unpack the files? When I download it it's a zip file and then I unpack it put it into my usb drive and then into my Steamdeck (to the Wii U roms file).
Also do WUD Keys work on WUX roms?
If anybody can help me I would really appreciate that ^^
Try looking up "Wind Waker HD RPX file" That file type you just extract it and place the folder you get into the roms folder. You don't need keys or anything for that file type. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
@@xin0555 Thanks, I have got it to work with usb helper and this worked for me
Thank you for showing me where to put all the files! Keep in mind that there are also different keys for file type as well as region. A NUS key will be different from a WUD/WUX key!
The scope of this video was just on the WUX files but I do appreciate the tip. Thanks for watching!
THX this helped alot!!
Happy to help. Thank you for watching!
I don't have key file in the rom folder
You can make a text file and name it "Keys" and place it in that folder. Thanks for watching and hope that helps.
BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
@@xin0555 Dope! Also please do you have the tutorial how to update file and dlc with this wux file?
@@Hobbyforhealthy I haven't need to do that yet but I will when I play Sonic Boom. So I'll look into it and when I figure out how to do it I will make a video like this one.
Are all the KEYS for WUX formatted games? For example - I have super Mario 3D World (USA), but when I check the keys, there are two options: (1) 3cec63f6c87d47ae13768d9542f9e979 # Super Mario 3D World [USA, NUS] & (2) e23aea154f1428156d25bfcc40f63856 # Super Mario 3D World [USA, WUD. So which one to use? Both say USA while one is NUS and the other is WUD. I do not see any WUX! Also, your video shows the "keys.txt" placed in the Wii U folder. Do we simply place the entire keys.txt file there or just the one applicable to the game. Please elaborate, thanks!
All you have to do is open the "Keys" file. It will open in a notepad-type file and then paste the full key file on its own line. The lines are numbered, and you can paste both keys in there. As long as you have one Key that works it doesn't matter how many you have there. Hope that helped thanks for watching!
In the parser section, be sure to check Cemu(wux, wud files). You only need to use the WUD key.
Ok these steps didn’t exactly work for me but they did what they needed to and I’m satisfied

The controls just WON'T work for me... I've tried everything, setting the controller settings in the cemu settings, doing it per individual game like you showed, changing the steam inputs to the cemu profile etc NOTHING works and it's so frustrating because the game itself launches just fine but I can't play it because no button is working. Also I can't choose "Deck" as my profile but "Deck-Gyroscope" is that the problem? I said each individual game to match it so I don't see how that would be the problem :/
I did the exact same thing as you did and when I launch Wind Waker the controls don't work too, even though they work for you. I'm so defeated 😭Please someone help if you know how to fix it
@@maxil8988 You might need to go into Cemu in desktop mode. Configure the controls in Cemu first. Try playing the game from desktop mode to see if that works. Then I would try it with the Steam Launcher. Hope that helps good luck. Thanks for watching!
I only have the mlc01 file and roms when you go to [emulation > roms > Wii U ]. Ive tried reinstalling cemu from emudeck, reinstalling emudeck itself, deleting cemu and reinstalling from online and the folder locations always come back so that I only have mlc01 and roms. I looked it up but no one else had this problem. there aren't that many steam deck tutorials for cemu either so I dont really know what to do. Any idea what the deal is?

I found yoshi wiiu usa keys for wux added them where you said but only got a grey screen when executed cemu. Screen says cemuand version at top and under on left has file, options, tools, cpu, nfc, debug, help. Next line on left has icon, and game. Center it has version, dlc, you’ve played, last played, region. As this is my first time doing this and first game which is not working it is blank.
for me twilight princess didn’t even show up i got the european version because that’s what i saw in the keys and set the directory to my sd card but the game would not show up or manually load in either
It might be the file. I would try getting the US WUX and then google "Twilight Princess HD keys" and see if you can find on that works. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks... im trying to get some wux working on windows pc... amazing spiderman limited edition does not work... do i have to add keys for it? It's seems to be impossible with some wux find right keys?
Yeah some times it is hard to find the right keys. I have found a few games I can't find the right keys for some. Just try your best on googling and try to find the right one. I wish I could be more helpful but thanks for watching!
I installed New Super Mario bros U, I press start or 2 and the screen goes black and I can’t play. How do I fix this?
I have the keys, the games in a roms folder, but when I open cemu they don't show the games and when I try to start the game it tells me that it can't. I don't know if I have skipped a step or Im missing a file
You might not have the right keys. The keys are region specific. I would recommend searching around google for other keys that hopefully work. Or try to find the RPX file of the game. That file doesn't need a key. Thanks for watching!
So for legend of Zelda BOTW . How do i remove the system update. Is there a wux file with a v 208 update ?

Ive tried everything and still nothing comes up on cemu.
i cant find the keys.txt file ANYWHERE the game appears in my steam library but when i open it it gives me an error and i cant seem to find the keys.txt file whatsoever
You might have to open CEMU once and try to open a game. I think after you do that it will create the Key file for you. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Any tips or tricks on how to get the Wii U games to work on batocera ? I have batocera installed on an SD card and my other Wii U Rom (Wind Waker HD) opens and runs just fine. Trying to do the same for Twilight Princess HD and it doesn’t work.

I saw you had twilight princess HD and im trying to download that but even with the keys its not working, i also assume i got the wux from the same place you did based on main firefox page. did they change something with it?
I was able to get mine running with the keys I found. You might want to try getting another game file. You might have a different region so the keys you have don't match. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
@@xin0555 I'll try that. thanks you!

Cemu only reads WUX and RXP files if your game files aren't that I don't think Cemu will read them. And If you have them as a WUX you will need the key. Hope that helps good luck and thanks for watching!
I added the keys file with all info and now can play my game if I hit 'load' but I still do not see it in the list. Any ideas?
Make sure you have the right keys. The keys are region specific, and a lot of sites might have keys that don't work. I would recommend seeing if you can find another key some where and try that. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
How did you get raging blast to work? It my favorite game I would really appreciate a quick guide
I used the PS3 emulator to play it. I will be honest it is a little glitchy but I think it is playable. I don't have a video for it but if you look up "How to set up "RPCS3 Set up Steam Deck" you should be able to find something. Thanks for watching and hope that helps.
Quick question, I have Zelda BOTW, however it is an all in one with dlc and in a .wux file. After getting the key working, I get "you need to perform a system update ", how can I update a .wux file? thx
I think you have to get the update file for the Cemu itself. I am not quite sure how to do that, because I haven't tried but I am sure if you look up "How to update BOTW for Cemu" You will find your answer. Thanks for watching!
11:43 when I open “wii u” folder I only see a “roms” and “mlc01” folder
If you don't have the "Keys" file you can just make a text file, paste your keys into there, and name it Keys. It also might show up if you try to load a game one time. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
@@xin0555 Weird I found it on my ssd even though I saved everything to my sd card. Thank you for this video
Which controller do I choose under Wii U Pro controller?
Just set it to the pro controller and the steam deck should set everything for you.
I don't have a keys file in the wii u folder. Did I miss something? I'm trying to see the games on Cemu but because i don't have the keys i cant see them
Try loading a game on time in CEMU and I think that will create a Key file for you. If not just make a text file called "Keys" and place it in that folder. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
When I execute cemu my game opens to title and start button glows but you can’t click it. It just sits there playing music. I don’t know if it is a pathway problem or wrong key. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
It isn't a key problem if it was you wouldn't be able to start the game. I would say check the controls make sure they are set up right. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Thanks for the Keys ...
Is it better to just add all keys to your USB drive and copy over to the keys folder? Instead of one game at a time?
You can add as many Keys as you want to the key file it won't effect anything. As long as you have the right key for the game somewhere in the Key file you are good. Thanks for watching!
@xin0555 I added all of them.. still can’t get any game to work.
@@RenManinJapan You might not have the right keys check if you can find another one that works.
@@xin0555 I copied the whole list over…
@@RenManinJapan Some on the list don't work. Xenoblade keys from that list didn't work for me so I had to google it to find one that did work.
I wonder is it same to just copy and paste that whole keys list and save the file? Even if I don't have the roms for many of the games on the list
Sure you can it basically a note pad file, so it doesn't take up space. Just be sure to check the spacing, and each key is on it's own line. Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro this video helps but how do you get the title keys and where do they need to be placed?
I show it off in the video on how to use the keys. You just copy and paste it in the key file. And check the description for a list of keys. Thanks for watching!
So im downloading zelda ww HD and I followed your directions 100% the trouble is the key txt isn't in roms..what do I do
I couldn't find the right keys for WW HD but if you look up RPX file type you don't need keys for that type. I found a WW HD file like that and all you need to do is put that file in the roms folder with your games. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Hi I have a question. I have the key for wind waker hd(EUR, WUD), but it's still saying it can't decrypt the title and I need the right key. Is there anything I'm missing?

Strange. I did everything correctly and the game still won't run. I found the key for the game I am trying to play and made sure its in the right folder and the emulator still refuses to play at all.
You might need to find different keys and check that the keys are pasted in the key file on their own line with the correct spacing. If all else fails try finding the RPX file for the game. Hope that helps thanks for watching!

@@italianmob4566 I am happy the videos helped. If you open Cemu in the desktop mode in the emulator go to Graphics Pack and there are options you can do to help tweak the graphics and gameplay performance. Also, there are cheats in the graphics pack as well. Thanks for watching!
great guide, also just wondering--would it be possible to have half my files on my sd card and the other on my internal drive for emudeck?
It is but you would have to change the file directory in the Steam Rom Manager. I am not sure if you can have it look in two spots at once. You might just have to change it every time you want to switch. Thanks for watching!
My Wii u emulator has the keys folder but even though I downloaded wind waker it's not showing a key? Any idea how to fix that

@@xin0555 thanks man but I'm honestly lost where to get a key I tried googling it and pasting a bunch of em but it still didn't take
Great video... except while the games are loading in the emulator; I can't get them to run through Gaming Mode... I don't know what I am doing wrong =(
Was hoping to find the answer here.
It sounds like an issue with Emudeck and the Steam Rom Manager. I cover that part at 16:20 in the video. Some tips
1. Make sure the rom directory is set to the correct folder in the Steam Rom Mannager.
2. There are two Wii U emulator tabs in the Rom Manager make sure they are both checked on.
3. And when you update the rom manager to add games, make sure you wait until you see a message that says it is finished. It might take a second for it to come up.
4. If all deals fail you can always try to uninstall and reinstall Emudeck and try again.
Hope that helps.Good luck thanks for watching!
@xin0555 Yeah, when I attempt to run a .wux title (Twlight Princess) from my Micro SD card; it gives me this:
Unable to launch game
Path:
Z:/run, etc. etc. Title name (.wux)
I do have the correct title key. It was previously working when a friend did everything for me, but I made some mistakes and had to do everything again on my own (want to actually).
This is where I am struggling though however. Everything, including ROMs, Emudeck files, etc. is on the Steam Deck. I have almost all the other emulators I want working doing except these games on CEMU. I have 2 (.rpx) games working through SteamOS.
@@kyleb7047 It is hard for me to say when I can't actually look at it. It sounds like you installed emudeck on the Steam Deck it self, so I would try putting the Wii U roms on the deck itself rather then the SD card. I'll be honest I am not expert on this so my knowledge is very limited. Also make sure there are no extra spaces in the Key codes. That happened to me once.
@@xin0555 I ended up just ultimately getting my games in (.rpx) files instead. The other formats I have messed around in vain for hours.
I appriciate you responses though, thank you =D
My Wii U folder does not come with a Keys folder. Am I supposed to make it myself? None of this is working, might be cause wrong key, or making my own Keys folder? I'm getting a little confused. Thanks in advance.
I believe if you open Cemu and try to load a game it will create the Key file for you. Try that if not you should be able to make a text file called "Keys" and place it where it needs to be. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
Do you know how to fix the error code where it says “couldn’t create mlc01 subfolder or file” I have every key and rom that is needed (I think). I’m somewhat new to emulation and every video I’ve seen has said it is already set up, I can find the mlc01 file but it still says it can’t find it
Honestly I am not sure I have never run into this problem before. I am not an expert on emulation I really just figured out how to get Cemu game running and made this video. If it was me I would try installing and starting fresh. Try using "Emu Deck" It is a program that does most of the installing and set put for you. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. Good luck.
I only have downloaded media folder under tools. Any help?
Did you use emudeck to set up the emulators? Thanks for watching!
I have the exact same file types and keys and nothing is showing in cemu!
I would recommend pasting all the region keys for the game in the Key file. Also check spacing if there an extra or no space between the keys you paste in that would cause them to not work. Hope that helps thanks for watching!
I dont have the keys.txt thing any advice?
You can make a text file called "Keys" and place it in the folder it needs to be. It might show up too if you try to load a game 1 time. Thanks for watching!
For some reason the buttons still won't work even after following your controller instructions.

Great video and amazing details! I tried to get the key for hyrule warriors and I found 2 different keys and neither one of them seems to get the game to pop up in the cemu Launcher tool, any suggestions?
The only think I can say is just keep looking for the key. I had to search to get Xenoblade X key but I found it eventually on a reddit post. Jut make sure you have the region matches the the key. And you might want to try find a RPX file for the game. If you find that you don't need a key. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Non of the files will populate in the launcher window. Xeno X shows in emulation wii u but won't boot
I go over the emudeck step near the end of the video. If they are not showing up in the game mode, make sure you follow the steps and it should work. Thanks for watching!
hi thanks i managed to get it working till the parsers bit, how did you get all those parsers. Mine is all blank?
