On Cemu - How To Get Wii U Menu

If done correctly, the Wii U Menu will boot. You’ll see:

The Wii U Menu in Cemu is cosmetic and functional but not required to play games. You can launch games directly from Cemu’s game list. However, if you want the authentic console feel, or to use system apps like Parental Controls, Download Management, or User Account switching – the above method works perfectly.

Legal reminder: You must dump your own Wii U’s NAND and system files. Downloading these files from the internet is piracy and violates Nintendo’s copyright.

Some community resources provide pre-assembled NAND backups (e.g., from Wii U Hacks Guide). These include the Wii U Menu, Settings, Mii Maker, and basic apps.
Legal warning: Only use these if you own a Wii U and the NAND was dumped by you. Downloading pre-made packs without owning a console is piracy. how to get wii u menu on cemu

Games you install via File → Install game/title/update/DLC (WUP files) will automatically appear on the Wii U Menu once you re-launch it, exactly like on a real console.

Cemu uses a virtual NAND (a folder on your PC pretending to be the Wii U internal storage).

Your file structure should look like: Cemu/mlc01/usr/title/00050010/1000400A/code/menu.cafe If done correctly, the Wii U Menu will boot

Cemu expects a standard MLC (NAND) folder structure. The menu must be placed inside the mlc01 directory.

Target path (Cemu 1.26+):
Cemu_install_folder/mlc01/usr/title/00050010/10004000/

Inside that folder, you need:

10004000/
├── code/
│   └── (app.xml, cos.xml, *.rpx)
├── content/
│   └── (men2.pack, layouts, sounds, etc.)
└── meta/
    └── (bootDrcTex.tga, iconTex.tga, meta.xml)

Required additional system titles (for settings and Mii):
