More Nintendo Switch Hacking News:
SciresM just reported the following on Twitter: 'Cleaned up the last pegaswitch memory corruption issues. Stress test of 10000 svc calls + full memdump + available sysarchive dump passes  ' For those who don't remember what it is: 'PegaSwitch is an exploit toolkit for the Nintendo Switch. By taking over WebKit, we are able to read/write memory, call native functions, and otherwise explore the functionality of the Switch from the domain of the WebKit process. This does not currently enable homebrew software, but is built to allow other hackers to work toward that goal.

The Nintendo Switch hasn't been out that long and already the hackers have started on this console:
As expected after the recent Switch browser hacking mapping out sysmodules and gaining kernel access, game cartridges can now be dumped, and the scene group BigBlueBox already released a few titles. Check this forum topic for more info. Sorry for the late news post, been a bit busy lately."

For fans of WiiU Hacking heres some great news:
dimok has posted a brief tutorial and coded Linux tools to inject WFS blocks via USB over at gbatemp.net. This is primarily for those who updated to firmware 5.5.2 by mistake and are interested in restoring HBL or haxchi on their Wii U. I have uploaded a complete pack with a save exploit here. The procedure is pretty advanced, and the tools are compiled for a Linux (32bit) system, to use on Windows (or Mac) you need to compile/port the source code yourself. This also requires an SEEPROM dump from the target console.

Heres some homebrew for the GBA:
I made a way to select objects on screen like a mouse by using pixel color.
Here is a video I made to explain how it works.
A or B buttons = mouse click.
Direction buttons = move mouse.
I'm providing the C source code and my batch file.
Check out my youtube channel if you want to see more random fun stuff.

Thank you and have fun programming on the GBA!

Heres the latest release of an emulator that supports lots of Nintendo and Sega Systems:
higan is a multi-system emulator that began development on 2014-10-14.
It currently supports the following systems:
Nintendo Famicom
Nintendo Super Famicom
Nintendo Game Boy
Nintendo Game Boy Color
Nintendo Game Boy Advance
Sega Master System
Sega Game Gear
Sega Mega Drive
NEC PC Engine
NEC SuperGrafx
Bandai WonderSwan
Bandai WonderSwan Color
higan also supports the following Super Famicom subsystems:
Super Game Boy
BS-X Satellaview
Sufami Turbo
Minimum System Requirements:
Intel Core-series processor
OpenGL 3.2-capable graphics card
Windows XP+, OS X 10.7+, Linux 3.2+ or FreeBSD 10.0+
With this release, PC Engine, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive and the newly added SuperGrafx support are now quite usable! They're far from the best emulators for these systems, but with many bugfixes, full sound emulation, and save state support ... many games are now fully playable with decent accuracy.
The Game Boy Advance emulation is also now substantially improved with vastly improved sound quality and a new dot-based PPU renderer. With that change, every single component in higan is now cycle-based. Regrettably, these changes do carry a ~20% performance penalty compared to GBA emulation in v102.
Changelog: (2017-06-21)
added SuperGrafx emulation
improved audio band-pass filtering for all emulated systems
screen rotation is now a hotkey; automatically rotates control bindings
screen rotation now supported on the Game Boy Advance as well (used by a small number of games)
massive improvements to Mega Drive emulation
massive code cleanups and rewrites to many CPU emulation cores (MOS6502, WDC65816, SPC700, etc)
Famicom, Master System, Mega Drive: added PAL emulation support
PC Engine, SuperGrafx, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive: added save state support
PC Engine, SuperGrafx: added PSG sound emulation
Master System, Game Gear: added PSG sound emulation
Mega Drive: added Z80 APU emulation [with help from Cydrak]
Mega Drive: added PSG sound emulation
Mega Drive: added YM2612 sound emulation [Cydrak]
Super Famicom: fixed Super Game Boy emulation
PC Engine: added save RAM support (using per-game PCE-CD backup RAM)
Game Boy Advance: substantial improvements to audio emulation quality
Game Boy Advance: convert scanline-based PPU renderer to a dot-based renderer
Game Boy Advance: properly initialize CPU state (fixes Classic NES Series games)
Game Boy Advance: MUL timing corrected [Jonas Quinn]
Mega Drive: emulate special mappers for Phantasy Star IV, Super Street Fighter II, etc.
Super Famicom: use darker luma for INIDISP=0 (large improvement to Final Fantasy III opening)
Super Famicom: fixed bugs in SMP OR1,AND1 instructions
cheat code database regrettably removed from official releases; will be made available separately
This changelog is a summary of major changes. For a detailed list of all changes, which spans several pages, please see the higan Gitlab repository.

Another Game Boy Advance Emulator released, heres the details:
As of September 19 2014, VGBA-Windowsis free for everyone to use and share. Have fun, folks!
The latest version, released on June 26 2017, adds DirectInput support for joysticks and gamepads, fixes changing of the audio sampling rate and special effects, adds the option to draw 65% of frames, and moves all input-related options to a separate "Input" menu. The new VGBA-Android version is also available for your phones, tablets, and TV sets.
If you like VGBA-Windows and want to support its further development, consider downloading VGBA-Android for your phone or tablet. The Android version comes with many cool extras, such as built-in Cheatopedia with codes for dozens of popular games, State Exchange for exchanging gameplay states with other users, and more. Give it a try and report any encountered problems in the discussion group.
The complete list of features and the list of new features and fixes can be found in the documentation.
What is Virtual GameBoy Advance?
Virtual GameBoy Advance (VGBA) is a program that emulates Nintendo's GameBoy Advance on your computer. It runs GameBoy Advance games on PCs, TVs, phones, tabets, or just about any other sufficiently fast gadget. It also helps debugging GameBoy Advance software without using a costly development system. I have previously written another emulator, VGB, that runs older GameBoy and GameBoy Color games. Because GameBoy Advance has completely different hardware, I had to write a new emulator for it, and VGBA runs only GameBoy Advance games. As far as I know, when I released VGBA in 2000, it was the first GameBoy Advance emulator in the world, soon to be joined by other emulators.
You can find the latest version of VGBA here: http://fms.komkon.org/VGBA/

A new release of the Game Boy Advance Emulator:
mGBA is a new generation of Game Boy Advance emulator. The project started in April 2013 with the goal of being fast enough to run on lower end hardware than other emulators support, without sacrificing accuracy or portability. Even in the initial version, games generally played without problems. mGBA has only gotten better since then, and now boasts being the most accurate GBA emulator around.
Other goals include accurate enough emulation to provide a development environment for homebrew software, a good workflow for tool-assist runners, and a modern feature set for emulators that older emulators may not support.
mGBA is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the code can be found on GitHub.

Heres some news for WiiU Hacking fans:
This tool is for v5.5.1-v5.5.2 only (because of the HBL loader). OTP and SEEPROM are required, so it is only for previously hacked consoles with backup of those files. (If you installed redNAND before you should be able to dump those files from your SD)
(If you don't have OTP you can take the OTP from someone else because the USB key is the same).
This tool is very experimental, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This tool is based on WFS File Injector.
Credit for @FIX94 for the Haxchi and for @dimok WFS Block Injector for the inspiration.

With Super Mario All Stars on the front this is going to be an iconic read:
After tons of Sega love, we return with some well deserved Nintendo love as well as we release the remaster of Super Play issue 11. We begin our preview of this issue with a big interview with Nintendo of America Vice President: Peter Main. This isn't the only interview though as we also have one with Factor 5's Julian Eggebrecht about Super Turrican. After all of this goodness we look at The full story of the Nintendo CD. And we end this update with reviews for Mortal Kombat as well as Super Mario All-Stars.

Heres a magazine from the DS and Wii Days,:
This time we return to NGamer with issue 5 that was released in January of 2007.
We start of our review selection with Gotlieb Pinball Classics by FarSight Studios which would later on develop the high-end arcade simulator: The Pinball Arcade, which digitally recreates a ton of classic pinball tables. The review for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess comes at a time where we see Nintendo reinventing the franchise once again with the gorgeous entry: Breath of the Wild. Rayman Raving Rabbits sure was a fun diversion back then. And Wii Sports showed us just how new play controls could really shake up classic sports games.
Besides all these Wii reviews, we also have a bunch of Nintendo DS games previewed as well: Elite Beat Agents might not be as magical as the original Ouendan game, but it's still a ton of fun.
Gunpey Reverse is a peculiar puzzle game, and Yoshi's Island DS tried to take on the impossible challenge of matching up to the original Super Nintendo masterpiece.
Finally we have a big feature that highlights a bunch of must have Virtual Console games: Download: Wii Recommend.

Its awesome to catch up on the news from yesteryear, heres another:
This week we take a look back at the remaster of Club Nintendo Volume 1, Issue 4.
While the magazine might be tiny and weighs in at only 20 pages total, it sure holds a lot of nostalgia for the people who used to get it in their mailbox straight from Nintendo back in 1989. Since it's such a small issue we only have two preview articles up on the site. The first one being Section Z by Capcom and the second one is Ikari Warriors by SNK. Both games are for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Fans of the Nintendo 64 will love this delve back into the past, heres more details:
This week we return with issue 8 of the N64 Magazine, which was released in November of 1997. This was an issue with severe quality problems while scanning, due to the state of the magazine. But with great care, all of these issues have been taken care of and with the new settings, the magazine is now looking better than ever.
We begin with a look at the arcade racer San Francisco Rush. Then we take a peek at the Japanese version of Bomberman 64. From here we go to the review for the cover story: Lylat Wars / Starfox 64. And finally we have a double header with Multi Championship Racing vs Top Gear Rally.

Another Snes magazine from the heyday, heres more details:
This week we step back into the cold winter month of November 1993 with the brand new release of Super Play issue 13. For being the holiday season it was a somewhat slow month when it comes to big names releases. Yet this doesn't mean that this month had nothing to look forward to.
We start by looking at Jurassic Park by Ocean. Afterwards it's all about the B-list platform heroes of yesteryear. Starting with Aero the Acrobat by Sunsoft. Then moving on to another Ocean game: Mr Nutz. And finally we look at one of the weirder platforming heroes of the 16-bit era: Super Putty by System 3.

For this issue, we have selected the following preview articles to read as the full magazine downloads: A rare interview with the people who worked for the Nintendo Hotline. The review for the awesome car battle Rock 'N' Roll Racing by Blizzard Entertainment before they were known as Blizzard. And finally, not one, but two great Konami classics! The home conversion of the arcade smash Sunset Riders as well as the cult classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors which was developed by none other than LucasArts.

Fans of the Virtual Boy will be glad to know of the work which has been done to make Mario Tennis playable by multiplayer once more:
Like numerous other Virtual Boy titles, Mario's Tennis was going to support the GameLink Cable to offer multiplayer modes, a fact that was even mentioned in an early In-Store promotional video. After the GameLink Cable got cancelled, naturally none of the commercially released games contained any type of simultaneous multiplayer mode.
It was long believed that Mario's Tennis did not even contain any leftover multiplayer code - until M.K. went to great lengths to find and restore exactly that! He just released a patch that restores 2 of 3 game modes (P1 vs P2 and P1/COM vs P2/COM) to a fully working state. The third mode (P1/P2 vs COM/COM) is buggy and won't be fixed until any Virtual Boy emulator implements full link cable emulation to shorten debugging and testing times to a healthy amount. While Reality Boy does offer network-based link cable emulation, it lacks support for the respective interrupts, which Mario's Tennis' multiplayer modes depend on.
Check out the release thread for a brief summary of the discovery and restoration process as well as the patch download.
If you're eager to play some Mario's Tennis multiplayer now and got a friend with another Virtual Boy and flash cart nearby, you might be interested in Kevin Mellot's fantastic homemade link cable

The virtual boy is the only old Nintendo console I have never owned and heres a new demo released for it:
Howdy there, would you like some dinosaur on your Virtual Boy?
StereoBoy has released a brand new homebrew he has been working on recently with Jorgeche and me. "DaumenKinosaurier - VUEdition" is a Virtual Boy port of an awarded stereoscopic flip book StereoBoy made as a student in 2009, realized in the VUEngine.
More information about the project, ROM download as well as sources can be be found in the release thread.
