Installing Games

If you need further help, ask on the official Cemu Discord Server for assistance.

This page will take you through installing decrypted game dumps in Cemu. Ensure that you have your main game, the latest update, and any DLC wanted first beforehand.

If you have an encrypted game dump , you may need to decrypt it using Cdecrypt. If you used dumpling to get your dump, you won't need to do this.

WARNING
