Secret of Mana: Relocalized just got better!
That’s right, the hack that updated FuSoYa’s beloved VWF hack and uncensored everyone’s favorite Murderbot, was just updated to version 1.6 and has now added a major quality of life improvement: Mixed Case Naming!
Additionally, this update includes:
- Revised spell descriptions with Statistical Data like MP Cost and Spell Power.
- Some spell, status, and item names were updated for improved conciseness, comprehension, or modernized to match the Seiken Densetsu series’ current nomenclature.
- Reversion to the punctuated message system used in all versions prior to v1.5.
- Removal of non-canon references to Popoi’s gender during the Sandship scene.

We know everyone has been eagerly anticipating support for firmware 7.x, some even said it would never come.. but the wait is now over!This new 2.6 BETA of SX OS adds full support for Nintendo Switch firmware 7.x, including ALL functionality you expect when using our product. We've been pioneering our own unique and proprietary solution for defeating any future firmware protection and we're quite happy with the results so far.
This release is marked as BETA because we changed things drastically under the hood to streamline future firmware updates and some things may inadvertently behave differently.
That does not mean it hasn't been vetted at all, so give it a shot today!
Of course, we haven't been sitting idly behind the scenes either. A lot of our development resources and attention has been dedicated to bringing SX OS to those "unhackable" switches. We are working hard to bring the SX OS experience to all of you who are stuck with an "unhackable" switch. Stay tuned for more news!
That's it for today.
Enjoy this new BETA of SX OS. And don't forget to send us your feedback!

# New in 1.15.3b:
CPU/JIT: Fixed potential instability and crashes caused by recompiler optimizations
debug: Fixed WUD filesystem dump feature
debug: Frame profiler now displays 9 different stats. From bottom to top:
gray -> Idle (waiting for more commands from CPU)
pink -> Wait for async (waiting for texture readback, occlusion queries. Explicit or by GX2DrawDone)
dark red -> Texture creation, texture upload, texture cache management, sampler settings
dark green -> Attribute/vertex buffer management, attribute data upload
blue -> Shader management, shader compilation, uniform buffer management, uniform data upload
purple -> Index cache management, index data upload
green -> Render target management, FBO creation, texture creation

general: Reworked shader cache loading screen to scale better on higher resolutions
general: Changed settings.xml to be more portable (use relative paths where possible)
CPU/JIT: JIT recompilation of functions is now multi-threaded if multi-core recompiler is enabled (slightly reduces micro-stutter caused by recompilation)
debug: Added debug option which dumps the WUD filesystem of the currently running game to dump/ folder (WUD/WUX extractor)
debug: Fixed a bug where the RAM dump feature would silently fail because it would not create the dump folder

coreinit: Fixed incorrect timeout calculation in spinlock AcquireSpinLockWithTimeout API
padscore: WPADGetInfoAsync no longer crashes when no callback is provided
input: DirectInput rumble will only be initialized if the rumble value is set to non-zero (workaround for a crash bug in a common DirectInput driver)

Another Switch CFW joins the 7.0.X compatible list, and this time it's @Reisyukaku 's and @EliseZeroTwo ReiNX! The update has been rumored for a while and while there is still no stable release, an early build has been shared with the community for anyone who wants to stay on the bleeding edge. The new build chainloads sept to boot on said firmware using a non-byok approach. While most components should work correctly, there are currently some issues that prevent sleep mode from working properly. If you encounter any bugs, you're encouraged to let the developers know by using the discussion thread.
Quoted from elise (from the Discord server):
7.0.X release. This is an early build/release that uses sept. Some games may not work as this is an early build, I just wanted to get a release out as fast as possible, there was not much testing of this. If you are not on 7.0.X already then do not update still until further notice. As always report all bugs to me and Rei.
[...]
forgot to mention, sleep mode is broken for the time being.
As previously stated, this is still considered an unstable build and may contain bugs: for this reason the dev team recommends to stay on lower firmware versions until a proper stable release is out. However, if you want to see the build in action for yourself, a link is provided in the sources below.

In its patch notes for Fortnite today, Epic Games announced it was adjusting how cross-platform play pools are set up by default in the game.
Before, the game's cross-platform capabilities put Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android players all in the same matchmaking pools for games. Now, it seems Epic has opted to divvy them up to improve the game experience for those on Switch and mobile.
Now, Xbox One and PS4 players will be grouped together by default, while Switch users will be grouped with mobile. This does not apply if players are in cross-platform parties already. Fortnite will still allow cross-platform play across all platforms for those already in parties or who accept an invite to one. So, if a Nintendo Switch user is in a party with a friend on Xbox One, they can still play together.

Ahead of GDC, Microsoft has announced that Xbox Live services will be coming to iOS and Android.
That includes features such as achievements, gamerscore, friend lists, family settings and Xbox Live security measures. Developers are now able to implement these into their smartphone titles.
"If you watch what we've done, especially with Minecraft, over the past few years, we've taken Xbox Live to as many platforms as Minecraft is on as possible," says Kareem Choudhry, Microsoft CVP of Gaming Cloud. "We're uniting those communities together with a consistent, singular experience for all of those gamers.
"We're now making that available to developers with our new mobile SDK for developers, which is available for iOS and Android. With one sign-in, iOS and Android games will have a consistent experience with fan favourite Xbox Live features such as achievements, gamerscore, hero stats, friends lists, club memberships, and even family settings -- no matter what device you're playing on.
"All of those features will be made available to mobile game developers, whether they're looking for the entire experience that we offer in Minecraft, or Solitaire, but also standalone features like achievements or gamerscore. Xbox Trusted Identity Network supports log-in, privacy, online safety, and child accounts. All things around safety, security, and privacy that we hold near and dear."
However, the company has nothing to report in terms of these services coming to Nintendo Switch. Microsoft was expected to announce a similar tie-up with Nintendo's machine, as detailed in a GDC talk description.

SaveState proudly presents:
A new and updated version of Super Rex Dash is now released to the public! The game overall contains many new features, such as:
- New character: Rex
- New levels almost through World 3
- New, redone sprites (SaveState worked especially hard on that level-end castle!)
- A few other bells and whistles, such as a checkpoint flag
This game started out a few years ago as a fun little thing SaveState was doing for his brother, letting him draw out some levels that would go into the game. Over the past few months, the game underwent major changes and overhauls, resulting in this project!
Also, this hack was made without the use of assembly hacking, all hex and editing tools

Yes, you read that right! Here is a brand-spanking-new (incomplete) translation of Kou Dai Guai Shou, a Chinese Pokémon Diamond bootleg game for the NES. SaveState is in charge of the project, and is keeping a good pace.
As of the time of this news, the translation of this game only goes up to Route 202, with many other things edited, such as some outdoor tiles and the battle system text.

Kevin Mellott has announced MultiBoy 32, the first ever Virtual Boy multicart! It comes equipped with an SD card slot and can store up to 32 games of up to 32 Mbit each on its internal 1 Gbit flash chip. A battery-free MRAM chip adds standard-sized SRAM for each of the 32 game slots, and is connected through a full 16bit bus width instead of the production 8bit width.
Features:
- Flash space: 32 slots of 32Mbit RAM via a 1Gbit Flash.
- RAM space: 256k x 16 SRAM space (8k x 16 per slot) using MRAM (no battery needed).
- Full 16bit SRAM bus instead of the production 8bit width.
- On board 32bit microcontroller (MCU) for programming slots.
- USB input for interfacing and control.
- Games loaded via SD card slot.
- On screen game selection themed around my 8bit VB character Do-Do.
- Arduino compatible MCU (custom firmware development if you're so inclined).
The cart should be out this summer, at a price of around a reasonable $150. But the price ultimately depends on the number of preorders, so make sure to share your enthusiasm for this amazing piece of hardware! Check out the announcement thread for all the yummy info.

Concerned with its self-image, Nintendo has reportedly asked some of its mobile game development partners to adjust the microtransactions in their titles so that users won't overspend.
The Wall Street Journal reports that sources at CyberAgent, which owns Dragalia Lost developer CyGames, have asked the studio to adjust its microtransaction-driven character lottery so players won't pour as much money into it trying to win rare characters.
"Nintendo is not interested in making a large amount of revenue from a single smartphone game," one CyberAgent official reportedly said. "If we managed the game alone, we would have made a lot more."
The sources say that Nintendo is apparently worried it will be seen as greedy if players are spending too much. All of Nintendo's mobile games have been free to play or start, with microtransactions optional.
So far, Nintendo hasn't managed to produce a true mobile hit. Its first attempt, Miitomo, was shut down after only two years. Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima said that Super Mario Run, a game that was free-to-start with a paywall for later levels, "did not meet our expectations."
Fire Emblem Heroes seems to be doing better. Using a more traditional microtransaction model where players can pay to acquire new hero characters, the game had brought in around $400 million in worldwide revenue since launch as Sensor Tower reported back in August. At that same time, it had far outstripped Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, which made only $42 million from its launch in November 2017 to August of 2018, and has been criticized over time for its excessive reliance on microtransactions for players to make progress.
Dragalia Lost, Nintendo's most recent mobile endeavor, also seems to be struggling. CyberAgent lowered its projections for the 2019 fiscal year in its Q1 financial report for the first time in 17 years, going from ¥30 billion ($268 million) to ¥20 billion ($179 million). As president Susumu Fujita acknowledged in his statement about the lowered forecast, this was partly due to Dragalia Lost not maintaining momentum despite interest at launch.

Today, Nintendo announced the upcoming launch of the fourth kit in its Nintendo Labo series: a VR kit that will offer "shareable, simple VR gaming experiences."
The Nintendo Labo VR Kit includes the Nintendo Labo software for the Nintendo Switch as well as six cardboard DIY sets, one of which is a pair of VR goggles. The goggles are then usable with the other five projects in the kit for various simple games, such as fighting aliens with a cardboard blaster gun or taking photos of underwater creatures with a camera.
