Atmosphère is a CFW for hackable Nintendo Switch consoles, which include fusee-gelee vulnerable units and ipatched units running FW 4.1.0 for now although support for Switch firmwares up to version 7.0.1 will almost certainly come in the future.
Similar to other CFWs, Atmosphère lets you do a wide variety of things on your Switch including running homebrew games/utilities, using custom modules (similar to plugins in PSP/PSVita jargon), overclocking your console and even running a secondary version of Horizon OS stored on your SDCard via emuMMC.
Other than being quite feature-packed, this CFW is also frequently updated and a few hours ago, Atmosphère 0.9.3 landed with:
- Significant optimisations, by hexkyz, to fusee’s boot sequence which means that Atmosphère’s boot times have been greatly reduced and you’ll be spending less time staring at its splash screen!
- Automatic backing up of your Switch’s BIS keys which are instrumental in fixing a corrupted NAND especially on ipatched units since they don’t have the RCM bug
- The “pm” (Process Manager), “creport” (Crash Report) and “fatal” system modules were rewritten with numerous improvements
- The version string in the Settings App now displays whether you’re using emuMMC or not and defaults pertaining to hbloader’s memory usage in applet mode were added to ‘system_settings.ini’
- The bundled version of hbl has been updated to version 2.2 (from 2.1) and hbmenu got updated to version 3.1 (from 3.0.1)
- Other fixes and minor updates which can be found by browsing through its commit history
To grab Atmosphère 0.9.3, check out this link and make sure you update fusee-primary when installing it.

It’s no secret that an emulator with decent compatibility (264 playable games as of today) for the Nintendo 3DS exists and that emulator is Citra, the creators of which are now mostly working on Yuzu which is a Nintendo Switch emulator seeing doing some great progress.
However, Citra focuses more on getting games to work rather than emulating everything perfectly and until a couple of months ago, audio was emulated with code implemented on a per-game basis rather than emulating the actual audio chips.
On the other hand, Corgi3DS is an LLE emulator which focuses on emulating every last bit of the Nintendo 3DS to the point of starting execution from original Boot ROMs, loading the 3DS OS from a NAND dump and even booting to the 3DS’ Home Menu for a fully authentic experience. This emulator, from ‘PSISP‘ who authored DobieStation (a largely unfinished PS2 emulator for Android which can boot some games with inadequate performance), is currently in a pretty early stage since no games actually work, the emulated 3DS OS hangs after a while due to unfinished WiFi card emulation code and speed is horrible. As a result, there’s no way we’ll get the full 3DS experience in an emulator with excellent compatibility any time soon but the progress is pretty promising. If you want that, you might as well spend a few bucks and grab a cheap Nintendo 3DS off eBay or locally!

Contrary to the PSVita, the 3DS’ homebrew haydays have been over for a pretty long time but noteworthy releases still drop from time to time. One of these releases was Twilight Menu++ 9.0.0 some days ago which came with Widescreen support (lets you play DS games in Widescreen (16:10) thus filling up the 3DS’ upper screen).
Unfortunately, this feature wasn’t useable since TWL Patcher was required and that wasn’t out then. That finally changed on Sunday as Sono released his patcher which can enable Widescreen mode by following a short tutorial on a 64-Bit Windows PC. You can grab TWLPatcher from this link and follow the instructions found here to use it on your console!
Many DS games are a lot of fun but playing them in Widescreen on your 3DS makes them even better!
On the other hand, TWiLight Menu++ received an update to version 9.0.4 yesterday and this brings along:
- Support for 202 Widescreen Mode games
- Combined with version 9.0.3, titles like Final Fantasy IV, Pokemon Platinum and Assassin’s Creed II – Discovery are now supported
- Sanity checks relating to Widescreen mode have been added which make sure that a working copy of ‘TwlBg.cxi’ is present in “sd:/luma/sysmodule” and whether it’s backed up
- Some small bug fixes having to do with file copying
To grab TWiLight Menu++ 9.0.4 and enjoy DS games in Widescreen, check out this link to grab and install it. Do note that updating via TWiLight Updater doesn’t work as of right now so you must update your binaries manually!

There are news on the Game Boy Advance homebrew scene, which should not stay unmentioned. JeffRuLz sent us an e-mail to let us know about Celeste Classic. As of now it can be still considered a prototype. It’s a difficult platform game demanding precise wall jumps and air dashes. If your reflexes are limited, this might be not a game for you.
All of you interested to develop for the GBA, the source code is available for free as well.

bsnes had already made news back in April with its well-received HD Mode 7 mod, however, it looks like a new retrogame enhancement feature will soon be added to its arsenal. Overclocking is now available in the emulator's nightly builds and, while it's true that other emulators have included it a long time ago, this implementation is severely different from the others in many ways.
Byuu, the developer behind bsnes, has explained the feature accurately in a Reddit post. Unlike before, where fixed overclocking could introduce sound/framerate issues or crashes in some games, this new method's goal is to counter slowdowns without any audiovisual compromises while also keeping compatibility as high as possible. The inspiration came from a technique already used in NES emulators, where more scanlines would be inserted in the CPU thread while pausing video and audio in the meantime; and everything described so far can also be used with the SA-1 and SuperFX coprocessors (others don't need it as they're implemented via HLE). The end result can be seen in the videos below, and it really speaks for itself (also, while not showcased in the videos, this method is also compatible with HD Mode 7!)
However, byuu warns users to keep overclocking settings to reasonable levels, otherwise, it can have an adverse effect on resource usage (if set too high, you will likely end up wasting CPU cycles between frames for no reason). As such, mitigations or limits for popular games are reportedly being experimented with at the moment.
As previously mentioned, the feature is available in bsnes' nightly builds and will be officially added in the next stable release. The same implementation has also been picked up by a different, relatively new SNES emulator, Mesen-S. There's a high chance it will also be ported over to the respective Retroarch/libretro cores sometime in the future.

In the market for a pair of shiny new Joy-Cons? Nintendo has you covered, with their latest offering of colorful Switch Joy-Cons. These Joy-Cons, in their Neon Green glory, will be exclusive to the retailer Best Buy, and are poised for release just before the launch of Luigi's Mansion 3. Previously, a right Joy-Con in this color was available, through the Splatoon 2 set of controllers, but this marks the first time the west has gotten both a left and right Joy-Con in Neon Green bundled together.

It's been a long wait, but it seems like we're getting ever so much closer to playing Super Nintendo games on the Nintendo Switch in an official format. A new update on the FCC indicates that Nintendo has filed the documentation for a wireless SNES controller, compatible with the Switch. The image on the FCC only shows the back of the controller, but it also shows the supposed model number--HAC-042--which is the naming scheme used for other official first-party Switch hardware. Next month marks a full year since Nintendo began offering their Nintendo Switch Online services, so the company could be preparing to give users a reason to re-subscribe to another year of NSO, in order to play Super Nintendo games. Previously, Nintendo released NES controllers compatible with the Nintendo Switch, which could be purchased by users that had an active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online.

It's time for another Cemu update! Version 1.15.11 has just been publicly released which improves the handling of updates & DLC in several ways (better content type detection, automatic backup & restore in case of a failed install and other under the hood enhancements), shader changes in preparation of the upcoming Vulkan renderer (if you are a developer, you may want to check those in better detail by reading the changelog, otherwise your shaders may only be compatible with the OpenGL backend in the future), more functions for the built-in debugger and your usual dose of bug fixes.
Here is the full official changelog:
[TABLE="width: 94%, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]# # Cemu detailed changelog for 1.15.11c
# Patreon release date: 2019-07-26
# Public release date: 2019-08-02
# New in 1.15.11c:
GX2: Fixed emulation of gl_PointSize when geometry shaders are used
# New in 1.15.11b:
general: Fixed a bug where DLC would be installed into the wrong location
GX2: Fixed broken transform feedback on OpenGL (#157, #159)
# New in 1.15.11:
general: Better update/dlc handling
Updated mlc01 folder locations for updates and dlc to match those of an actual Wii U
Newly installed updates and dlc will be stored at the new locations, while previously installed ones are still detected properly
Improved detection of type of content (affects installation and gamelist)
Installing updates/dlc will now backup previously installed content and restore it on failure/cancelation
debugger: Implemented more instructions for assembler and disassembler
debugger: Assembler now supports basic expressions in place of constants
debugger: Fixed a crash when stepping into imports
coreinit: Fixed OSUninterruptibleSpinLock_Acquire() not restoring interrupts before switching to the scheduler
nn_erreula: Fixed a bug where the same message would keep poping up
padscore: Opening the input configuration window no longer temporarily disconnects the emulated controllers
padscore: Fixed PPC stack corruption caused by KPADSamplingCallback (#140)
nn_fp: IsOnline() now only returns true if there is an established friend server session. This should fix crashes or softlocks in games that only worked in online mode
GX2: Shader tweaks to bridge the gap between OpenGL and the upcoming Vulkan renderer
If you are a graphic pack developer, be aware of these changes:
- All shaders are now generated with a Vulkan and OpenGL compatible header using #ifdef / #endif preprocessor directives
- gl_Position should always be set via the new SET_POSITION() macro
- Shaders used in combination with point primitives always have to write gl_PointSize
- Point shaders that get their point size from renderstate have a new uniform variable (uf_pointSize)
- Primitive points will modify the vertex shader base hash (+0x71)
Existing custom shaders remain compatible with the OpenGL backend, except for vertex/geometry shaders used in combination with GL_POINTS which need to be updated
Note:
(#xx) refers to bug tracker issues resolved by this change. See

Nintendo has a presence at this year's ChinaJoy 2019 event thanks to its partnership with Tencent, revealing a few new details about the companies' plan to bring the Switch to China.
No release date for about the eventual Chinese hardware release was offered, and it may take some time yet as the partnership was just announced back in April. In addition, Reuters noted in its report on the event that no Nintendo Switch software has been approved for sale yet even though the console itself has passed muster.
However, Tencent and Nintendo are working together to localize and get approval on Nintendo Switch games, and though no specific games have been named yet, a total of four titles were shown at the ChinaJoy 2019 Nintendo booth, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Let's Go!.
Other details on the partnership coming out of ChinaJoy have been translated and shared on Twitter by Kantan Games CEO Dr. Serkan Toto and Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad, including the implementation of WeChat as a payment option to be offered on the Nintendo Switch in China, and the use of Tencent Cloud services to run Nintendo Online (though Ahmad notes that this will not be used as a game streaming service).
