This new homebrew will allow you to install XCI files directly to your Switch without having to convert them to NSPs first. It is based off the NSP-installer homebrew, Tinfoil by @Adubbz.
What is an XCI file?
An XCI file is a gamecard dump, while an NSP is an installable eShop file. While XCI files can only be played directly with SX OS, they can now be installed just like an NSP on both SX OS and ReiNX.
How does it work?
- It extracts the NCAs from the XCI file
- It changes the one byte in the header that differentiates gamecard files and eShop titles
- It rebuilds the metadata file and sends it to Tinfoil to begin installing (the metadata file describes the other NCAs present in the file)
Precautions
This homebrew is still a WIP.
- If you use an exFAT-formatted SD card, please back up all your data before using this homebrew, as it has a small chance to corrupt the card.
- Some XCI files will not work. If you come across any that do not work, please report them in the main discussion thread.
Where can I get it?
- Gitlab repository is here
- Official discussion thread is here
Who is 2168-0002?
The members are as follows:
They can be reached by Twitter at @2168_0002 and can be identified on GBAtemp by their signatures. There are more projects in the pipeline.

Considered by many to be the most accurate Game Boy Advance emulator, mGBA will soon be making its way to the Nintendo Switch. The official Twitter account for the emulator teased their homebrew running through preexisting versions on the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, alongside a Nintendo Switch, with the tagline of "mGBA does what Nintendon't." The developer is new to Switch homebrew, but is working on creating a standalone version. No release date window was given, nor any specifics, but it'll be the third major GBA emulator on the Switch, joining VBA-next and gdkGBA, as well as methods available through RetroArch.

ry755 has ported the open source emulator uzebox to the nintendo 3ds
How to setup the emulator and load games:
Download the latest release from the GitHub repo: https://github.com/ry755/cuzebox3DS/releases
Extract the cuzebox3ds folder to /3ds on the SD card (it must be in /3ds/cuzebox3ds)
Copy any downloaded .uze games to the cuzebox3ds folder (it must be a .uze file, .hex files won't work)
Start cuzebox3DS using the Homebrew Launcher, and after a few seconds you should see a menu called "UzeBox Game Loader"
Use the D-Pad to select a game, and press Start to launch it
To return back to the Game Loader, simultaneously press and hold Y+B+Start+Select. (a few older games, such as Pacman, don't respond to that combo)
To quit cuzebox3DS and return to the Homebrew Launcher, press ZR
If there is only one .uze file in /3ds/cuzebox3ds, it will automatically load that game instead of showing the menu.

thomasnet has released a new savegame editor for the Nintendo Switch
Finally after almost a month there's a new version of EdiZon. Version 1.5.0 brings you batch backups and a lot more! Special thanks to @trueicecold for implementing most of these features!
Full changelog
You can now backup all saves of a single game or the saves of all games and users at once from the title select screen. Thanks to @trueicecold for this feature
Added editable-only mode which hides all games except the ones you can edit using the builtin save editor. Again thanks to @trueicecold for this.
Added scrolling multipliers to the value widgets. Like that you can scroll in steps of 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000.
Added a step size setting to the configs that acts as a multiplier for the multipliers.
From now on ALL configs get shown immediately without the need to approve them first. However, they get overlayed with a big "BETA" label so you can see that they might not work yet.
Added support for shared fonts. This makes the whole UI a lot prettier and makes the .nro a bit smaller. Thanks to @AnalogMan151
Updated Lua to the latest version 5.3.5
Cleaned up the entire UI
Fixed a lot of lag everywhere
Fixed issues with huge save files causing Lua to fail
Fixed issue with the latest libnx
Refactored and cleaned up a lot of code and got rid of many many memory leaks
Fixed equations. They should work A LOT better now
Also, as you might have noticed, @thomasnet-mc has left the project since he hasn't worked on it a lot anymore lately and moved on to different things. Thanks a lot to you though for everything you did to the project! <3

fgsfdsfgs has ported Quakespasm to the Nintendo Switch:
I ported Quakespasm to the Switch. Why? Because it's better than NXQuake/TyrQuake and I'm too lazy to backport features from it into NXQuake.
Some of the features of the port:
hardware-accelerated OpenGL 2.x-based rendering in 1280x720;
sound, including support for OGG and MP3 music tracks;
supports the Mission Packs and other mods compatible with Quakespasm (Quoth, Arcane Dimensions), with a simple mod selector menu;
analog controls and shit;
most other features of Quakespasm, such as:
advanced renderer with cool stuff, such as colored lighting, fog, translucent water, high-res textures, model interpolation, etc;
scalable, optionally translucent HUD and menus;
music support, as mentioned earlier;
raised engine limits;
built-in controller support, which means I had to do basically nothing to make it work on the Switch.
To install it, just unzip quakespasmnx_v010.zip to the root of your SD card, then copy pak0.pak and (optionally, if you have the full version of Quake) pak1.pak from your Quake installation to /switch/quakespasm/id1/. You can then run the game using the Homebrew Launcher. You can get pak0.pak from the Shareware Quake data files in this archive.
If you want to play Mission Pack 1, copy hipnotic/pak0.pak to /switch/quakespasm/hipnotic/ from your installation.
If you want to play Mission Pack 2, copy rogue/pak0.pak to /switch/quakespasm/rogue/ from your installation.
For any other mod, just copy its folder to /switch/quakespasm/.

Last night's Nintendo Direct video was a bit of a triumph for the platform holder.
Almost 50 games were on show that answered some of the biggest question marks still hanging over Nintendo's rapidly selling Switch console. Where were the third party games? Where are the big Nintendo brands? Where are all the games in between? Here they all came via a string of rapid-fire reveals that was almost exhausting by the time the demonstration rolled to an end.
It was so busy that the rather muted reveal of Nintendo's Online Service for Switch passed by with little criticism. "In 2019 Switch will see New Super Mario Bros U, Yoshi's Crafted World, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 3... probably Metroid Prime 4"
Nintendo has had the challenging task of trying to live up to Switch's impressive first 12 months, which although lacked depth, was full of some of the best games the company has put out. 2018 has been significantly busier, but it's been left to games like Kirby, Donkey Kong Country, Mario Tennis and Mario Party - games that are typically used as filler in the Nintendo release schedule - to step up as headline acts in the absence of a new Mario or Zelda.
Slowdown in development output is to be expected from time-to-time, but what's made fans increasingly frustrated is the paucity of new products in the firm's regular Direct videos. E3 was probably the worst offender, although focusing on the big Christmas game (Super Smash Bros) made perfect business sense, to fans it wasn't enough.
I was fascinated by the comments that were going out alongside the Direct video last night, choice quotes included: 'Where's Fire Emblem?', 'No Waluigi in Smash? Rubbish.', 'Worst Direct Ever', 'Metroid Prime 4 footage?' 'Stop with the ports! Nobody cares''Where's Wind Waker HD?', and that was just 5 minutes in. It was just a stream of demands no matter what was being shown on screen. It reminded me of kids at Christmas who open one present, immediately set it down, and demand another.
Last night felt like a response to those demands. Two big first party reveals (Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing), a handful of strong ports, a bunch of big third-party games and even a couple of new IPs. If you are a fan of Nintendo there was surely something in all that to bring a smile to your face. It certainly featured more content and more variety than Nintendo's E3 Direct video.

We got a glimpse of some new information about Nintendo's Switch Online Service yesterday during the Direct, but most of what was shown there was already known. To help shed a little more light on just what a subscription entails, Nintendo put a FAQ up on their site. The details are as follows:
- As already stated before the Direct, all Switch users (used to be only launch users) can get a 7 day free trial. This gives you access to online, voice chat, cloud saves, and the NES games.
- Those two wireless NES controllers are only purchasable if you have a current paid Nintendo Switch Online sub.
- The full list of 20 playable NES games for subscribers was revealed: Soccer, Tennis, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3, Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, Dr. Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Double Dragon, River City Ransom, Ghost's N Goblins, Tecmo Bowl, Gradius, Pro Wrestling, Excitebike, Yoshi, Ice Hockey, and Baseball.
- Each month, a new set of games will be added to the group.
- October will add NES Open Golf, Solomon's Key, and Super Dodge Ball
- November additions are Mighty Bomb Jack, Twinbee, and Metroid.
- December brings Wario's Woods, Adventures of Lolo, and Ninja Gaiden.
- Additionally, if you ever lapse in your subscription, you will lose all cloud data. "Save data stored with Save Data Cloud cannot be kept outside of the duration of your Nintendo Switch Online membership." If you cancel or let it expire, you'll lose all data saved on the cloud.
- If you play the NES games, you need to check in every 7 days by going online to verify your account.

The Nintendo Switch Online service, launching next week, comes with a fairly standard roster of perks such as playing online with friends and cloud saving. But it will also apparently be a limiter on purchases of physical merchandise - namely, a NES-style Joy-Con.
In today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced a more complete version of the roster of classic NES games coming as a perk to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Those games are playable with standard Joy-Con controllers, but Nintendo is also selling a pair of NES-style Joy-Cons intended to be close replicas of original NES controllers.
Though the button mapping appears to effectively match what's on the Joy-Cons now (A and B, L and R buttons added) and attach to the Switch itself in the same way, the controllers do not have a comparable physical layout to standard Joy-Cons, and may only function with the NES games they are intended to play. This would explain Nintendo's decision to make their purchase exclusive to paid Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
In addition, controller purchases are limited to one per Nintendo Account. They cost $59.99.

bsnes-mcfly v106r14b is released. Some of you may have noticed that Olympian Magic has seen no updates for over 3 weeks. I didn't put it on hiatus just for the sake of taking a break. No, the reason it went on hiatus is this project: bsnes-mcfly. This is a port of the Qt GUI from bsnes v073 to higan v106. In development versions up to v106, it was previously known as “bsnes-classic” in an attempt to replace AWJ's fork also named “bsnes-classic”. However, AWJ has shown that bsnes-classic is still alive, so this project had to be renamed.

I'm going with "metadata.bml" for the flash metadata filename for the
time being, but I'll say that it's subject to change. I'll have to make
a new extension for it to be supported with bsnes.

This is a port of the TI-83 (and other calcs) puzzle game Block Dude. In the game, you control Block Dude, whose powers are to pick up and put down one block at a time. He can also climb one block at a time! Using the blocks, you make your way to the door which brings you to the next level. The original was created by Brandon Sterner and was a joy when you were in class and your teacher thought you were doing your classwork. While there are ways to play it on a calculator still, if you prefer the NES, you can play this port

A ‘deluxe’ version of Final Fantasy II for the SNES. A beloved classic that was nerfed quite a bit when it was released back in 1991 in the US. Using editors such as ff4kster, it was quickly revealed that LOTS of content was dummied out and there were empty space for extra content.
This hack creates a ‘deluxe’ version of the game by using most of the available space to add a bunch of extra content such as:
- 22 NEW WEAPONS
- 11 NEW SPELLS
- 8 NEW BOSSES, etc.
The story and the feel of the original game are kept more or less the same. Project II was used as a base for this.
Hope everyone enjoys the hack!
