Some news from eurasia:
As a growing number of Switch owners install exploits to run backups or homebrew, the inevitable ban wave is upon us. There is a lot of speculation about what the specific causes are for these bans, so Draxzelex over at gbatemp.net has started a project in an attempt to map out the exact reasons for a ban. It's an interesting approach, but it could fail, for example if Nintendo uses a score based system in the console monitoring certain system events accumulating towards ban with a total score threshold, then no method is safe and the data collected to prevent ban would be useless. The reason to have some kind of score based ban system is not just about making it hard for the user to identify the cause, it also makes sense technically to reduce the risk of false ban on legit users."

Some great news for Nintendo Switch owners:
Through a new YouTube upload by Switch hacker Rei/Reisyukaku, we've been given a tease for an upcoming new custom firmware for the Switch. Nothing was officially stated by the dev as to what features or differences it'll have compared to other options, but from what the almost 40-second long video shows, we can see an edited boot screen, and that it can definitely boot into the hbmenu, with some homebrew listed. The dev's official site lists ReiNX as a custom firmware for the Switch, and says a Github page is coming soon.

Heres a new New release of the Nintendo Switch app:
Once you have a nicely hacked (modded) Nintendo Switch console, you need a easy way to manage all your homebrew, games, and custom files on your SDCard, without using the PC all the time, and this homebrew does just that, install it, and manage away, plus this latest update adds a ton of new features, and even an 'audio player', so its well worth upgrading to and using on your Switch console. Similar to other software with ‘Shell’ in its name like VitaShell, NX-Shell is a file manager for hacked Nintendo Switch devices by Joel16. As of right now, it only lets you access the SD card (i.e no access to system partitions just yet) and has the following features: - A Cyanogenmod/LineageOS-esque theme which is present in Joel16’s other work such as 3DShell and CyanogenPSP
- Dark mode which is great if using it in the dark
- The ability to copy/move/paste and rename files and folders
- A picture viewer with support for PNG, JPG, BMP and GIF images
- An audio player with support for MP3, WAV and OGG formats among others – added in this release
- Many other features such as a ZIP extractor and the ability to sort files and folders
NX-Shell Beta 3 brings along:
- Touchscreen support by StevenMattera.
This is a great addition since NX-Shell UI’s has an Android-esque feeling which of course implies the presence of a touchscreen
- An audio player that supports MP3, OGG, WAV, MIDI (reported to be not working), FLAC and MOD formats.
Of course, it supports pause/play functionality but you can only go between files via next/previous when listening to MP3 files.
- An on-screen keyboard, based on the stock Android 5.0+ one, that enables you to create new folders and rename files as both actions require some type of text input; something that was not possible before this release.
- The right/left d-pad buttons can now be used to skip to the beginning or end of a directory.
- Some bugs were fixed including one which stopped NX-Shell from working properly when opening empty directories
As demonstrated by the above, this update is pretty substantial and it’s strongly advised to install it whenever you have time.

Team Xecuter release new version of OS for their Nintendo Switch Modchip:
Earlier this weekend, we were informed by TX that they were busy putting the finishing touches on yet another major update to their very popular SX OS, and now with v1.2 you have what everyone was screaming for since the first release, the latest 'card2' games! 
SX OS v1.2 UPDATE It's been a busy week at the Team Xecuter headquarters, after releasing v1.1 of SX OS we got (yet again) a good amount of feedback from the community.
Let's jump straight into the changes for version 1.2 of SX OS:- Added Card2 support
A small dozen (currently released) games were not compatible with SX OS, we tracked down these incompatibilities with these so-called "CARD2" games and fixed them. You can now fully enjoy `Sushi Striker' and other games!
- Added downgraded fuse support
In v1.1 we added a protection against programming fuses. What was not added was a bypass for the "fuse checks", this has now been addressed. Advanced users who want to enjoy "downgraded" firmwares can now do so!
- Improved homebrew compatibility
Without going into complicated details, homebrew compatibility has been improved once again. Give your problem homebrew titles another spin, and let us know if any problems remain. We're sure this should be a big improvement.
As always, updating SX OS is simply a matter of replacing "boot.dat" in the root of your microSD card. No need to re-activate your license or anything.
Stay tuned for more updates. We're far from done!

Nintendo has turned to Mario Kart to improve sales of its Labo product.
The Switch concept has been positioned to boost the platform's appeal among mainstream audiences and families, yet despite performing solidly in its first week, the two Labo products - the Variety Pack and the Robot Pack - have yet to light up the charts. The game utilises cardboard creations that work with Nintendo's hardware.

Dont often see much virtual boy news, so heres a nice news item:
trailboss has announced MAIDEN, a rail shooter that aims to land on Virtual Boy and Steam in early 2019.
Quote:MAIDEN is a rail shooter in which colossal humanoid robots known as Maidens fuel a global struggle over resources. You control a team of pilots fighting their neighboring country over an energy mine. Your team is underfunded, understaffed, and ill-prepared for the battle ahead, but you're willing to fight until your dying breath. You'll venture across cities, deserts, forests, and mountains both in air and on land. The world of MAIDEN comes alive thanks to a mixture of hand-drawn pixel art and prerendered 3D models. MAIDEN aims to be the ultimate Virtual Boy technical showcase.
A Kickstarter campaign is said to happen next month. Check out the MAIDEN Development Thread for more information and regular development updates.

If you have a hacked 3ds/2ds then leave well alone, heres a new update:
Just when you think the 3DS just can't possibly get more stable, Nintendo is there to remind us. A new system update 11.7.0-40 was pushed out to consoles on June 18. The age-old quote straight from Nintendo detailing the changes made is below. Of course, with the 3DS still getting official games and support from Nintendo, it's very likely we'll continue seeing software updates for a while yet, even if they're sporadic.

Heres a nice bit of old school nes news:
Zatos Hacks is very pleased to finally release the 100% complete English translation of Little Master, finished 17 years after the project started!
The project was started in 2001, but was later abandoned due to running into some technical issues *and* for leaving the scene after making some inappropriate posts on some ROM hacking forums. Zatos’ brother, Fyr, wanted to start learn ROM hacking in April 2018 and was persistent in getting Zatos to teach him. That persistence resulted in a collaboration project for Space Hunter for the Famicom. After this, Zatos decided to finally return to Little Master, and give the game the finished translation it always deserved.
Zatos would like to give a big thanks to Fyr for getting him back into ROM hacking again, otherwise this game would never have been finished.
Thanks also to:
Alexander Beetle & Tomato for the original translations back in 2001
danke for a large number of retranslations in 2018
danke for figuring out how the unit type text was stored
many others who are mentioned in the readme file
It is highly recommended to read the readme file included with the patch. It goes into a lot more detail regarding Zatos’ history and the history of the project. There is also information about experiences with the project in general, that might be interesting for newcomers or experienced ROM hackers.
Enjoy the game!

SuperrSonic has released a new version of the media center for the Nintendo Wii:
Hello there, I've been maintaining a personal version of WiiMC, at the time I just wanted to correct the aspect ratio in 4:3 mode (672->704) and remove deflicker filtering. But soon after, I started experimenting and looking for features I never use and remove them to increase memory. I removed the picture viewer, NTFS/EXT libs, themes, and disabled a large amount of codecs.
I allocated more memory for the GUI, and added some new things:
-Enabled ADX audio decoding
I mean this is a gaming console so why not support game music formats?
So far only ADX files from NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams seem to play incorrectly.
-GameCube controller support
Every button from the wiimote (Form Baton) is currently mapped.
Please note that there are still some things that require the pointer.
-The option to disable the H.264 deblock filter on a per video basis
To disable simply change the extension of your video to ".dash".
Disabling this increases decoding speed a lot, but decreases visual quality, however depending on the video you can get away with it quite well. Keep in mind that the Netflix app for Wii does this for both main and baseline profiles.
-Added an option to enable the volume normalizer audio filter. (A restart is needed when changing from methods)
-Added an option to always zoom videos to 4:3 ratio. (H zoom should be ~133%, this setting only works if your Wii is set to 4:3 mode)
-Added an option to enable deflicker, 480i and 480p supported.
-Added an option to scale screen width to 720.
You will find these new options in the settings menu. For volnorm set it to "2" to enable volnorm method 2.
-Added Screen Burn-in Reduction support
To enable simply go to Settings->Global, it will dim the screen if the screen saver is active after 4 seconds.
This setting requires ahbprot disabled.
-Added an option to switch to 240p mode.
This setting can be found in the global section.
Update June 11, 2018: Exit during video playback when using autoboot, default value for burn-in is now taken from system settings.
Update May 16, 2018: Added Wiimpathy's autoboot file support, added 240p switching.
Update April 22, 2018: Enable GC controller to work in window prompts, add max VI width setting, hide YT quality levels from the settings menu.
Update April 17, 2018: Enable seeking in http streams, added new options to the settings menu, added global setting for skipping deblocking, added burn-in reduction.
Other minor changes:
-subfont-autoscale set to 0
-add .thp as a valid video extension
-disable forced marginV = 20
-sub settings now start with marginV 20
-re-use ffmpeg vorbis (whoops)
-removed some misc libass settings that might have affected performance.
Update June 17, 2017: A fix for specific videos(MKV files with certain framerates) that would hang if using frameskip.
Update June 10, 2017: Added a full version including all the features of WiiMC-SS, without removing anything.
WiiMC-SS features:
704(square) screen width.
Attractive pointer.
GameCube controller support.
Enabled ADX decoding.
Optional 240p mode.
Exposed the volume normalizer filter.
Added ".dash" extension, using this extension will skip the deblock filter.
Made the deflicker filter optional.
Removed picture viewer to increase memory.
Removed NTFS and EXT libs to increase memory.
Disabled some minor codecs to increase memory.
Default to gray theme.

BernardoGiordano has released a new version of his Savegame manager for the Nintendo Switch:
What's new
General Checkpoint improvements to enhance the user's experience.
The whole UI has been completely redesigned. This affects many things in the user experience.
Titles are now displayed by icons. You can display up to 20 titles at the same time. If you have more , you'll find them in the next pages.
Saves for the users are now listed separately and sorted for user.
You can change the selected title or the current user by using the dedicated buttons or using the touchscreen.
Detailed informations are now displayed on screen.
Space has been really optimized to be fully occupied with useful informations.
Selector animations. You all love them right?
Memory leaks related to the title icons have been fixed. Also, icons are now stored more efficiently to take less space and reduce the initial loading time.
Even though the User Interface will be this one pretty much forever, the code underneath will be redesigned as well. It's been refactored too much times and it's too messy for my taste. It'll be rewritten to be cleaner soon™.

Heres a great new Snes Emulator for the Nintendo Switch:
Hi, here is something i'm working on since a while now, but as my time is very limited... There is now other alternatives but... well 
Installation
copy "psnes" directory to "/switch/" directory on sdcard
copy roms to "/switch/psnes/roms/" directory on sdcard
Information
pSNES "should" work on any firmware (based on libnx and snes9x.git)
pSNES actually support save states, 2x, 3x, fit, fit 4/3 and fullscreen hardware linear scaling and a simple (but nice?) ui.
pSNES ui support titles images (png), named as the rom name with png extension instead zip, in the "previews" directory (to be created if needed).
pSNES does not actually support high resolution games...
pSNES use a database file for rom handling. You'll need a "db.xml" file located alongside the application. The current "db.xml" file comes from "Hyperspin" website, and only contains USA "good rom / no-intro" set. Your rom files must be zipped and named as per this set. You'll find in the "database" directory this file as backup/reference (Super Nintendo Entertainment System - hyperspin.xml) + a complete set from dat-o-matic (http://datomatic.no-intro.org). Rename this file to "db.xml" and (re)place it in the same directory as the executable to use this one. You can make your own database file with filtering from this great website.
