The Wii U Menu is the graphical shell (dashboard) of the Nintendo Wii U console, featuring the "WaraWara Plaza" and individual application icons. While Cemu is primarily designed to launch individual games (.rpx, .wud, .wua), it is fully capable of booting the system menu. This allows users to experience the authentic console interface, manage installed titles (virtual console, eShop apps), and run system apps like the Download Manager. This report outlines the technical requirements, acquisition methods, and step-by-step configuration.
