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.

Heres a nice Zelda game for the Nintendo Switch:
I managed to complete the game. I had a couple times early on that it crashed but after those times I had no issues.
I managed to use your NRO file and edited it to run the Zelda Return of the Hylian Solarus Edition. It runs pretty well too. It's a much shorter game but some may be interested in playing it.

Not sure i fully understand this news but ill post it so its out in the open:
Evil Bowser is back and has stolen the keys to the Nintendo's EDEV castle, whom cares about the used up Princess when you can have all the development master keys instead, the rumor is an EDEV unit was sold recently on eBay and so of course it didn't take very long before all that good shit like TSEC+Fuses+NAND was dumped and shared.

Team Xecuter have released their Modchip for the Nintendo Switch:
Earlier today, we leaked the news that SX OS was finally going live later on this evening, and it did so a little while ago and there has already over 1k downloads and many happy SX OS users around the world are already enjoying wonderful homebrew, powerful Linux and the very latest in Switch games on their now fully unlocked Nintendo console, so check out below their official launch PR, and when you read thru it below, notice the nice gift that TX is allowing us, 'homebrew' for FREE, no license is needed! SX OS is a custom firmware that can be used with the SX Pro tool kit (strongly recommended for ease of use and safety) or for advanced users as a stand alone OS.
Once you download SX OS from our website, please follow the basic tutorial also available on the same page to install it on your Nintendo Switch. A complete tutorial and advanced manual will be available in the days to come.
If you did not purchase a SX Pro or a SX OS license, Team-Xecuter still provides FREE homebrew support and loading from a non activated SX OS install. This is a small gift to all 'sceners' who are only interested in homebrew. After all, Team-Xecuter also comes from the homebrew scene and after all these years, we are still glad to contribute now and then to this scene who brought us where we are now.
To unlock ROMs loading and more advanced functions, you need to purchase a SX Pro – our top selling product – or SX OS license. They are available from resellers worldwide. A list of trusted distributors can be found HERE. - If you did purchase a SX Pro, then your license is included in your dongle. Simply follow the instructions from our quick tutorial.
- If you purchased a SX OS license, then once your vendor email it to you, please use it and follow instructions from our quick guide to activate it.
OK, we know you are eager to test it out, so we will stop here. SX Pro and SX OS are a year in the making. It required massive team work from all of Team-Xecuter members to reach this V1.0 we believe will be your best purchase on Nintendo Switch.
Click to expand...
As usual here is a few Q&A for the early SX OS users that have already downloaded our SX OS: - Q: How do I re-enter TX boot menu
A: Press and hold vol+ and keep holding until you see the TX splash screen
- Q: How do I access my albums while in SX-OS CFW mode ?
A: Hold down L while opening album
- Q: How do I access HomeBrew ?
A: Hold down R while opening album
- Q: How do I load my backup roms ?
A: Simply enter album an select you rom file, all rom files should be placed in the root directory of the console micro SD
- Q: HomeBrew menu loads but none of my apps are showing, what is wrong ?
A: Please try re-format the micro-SD card using a windows machine, we have encountered this issue when using OS-X ex-fat formatted cards.
But as usual, it is a work in progress. We received a lot of requests for new features to be added in future updates, and our skilled developers are already working on it even as V1.0 is only being rolled out.
We really value your purchase, and we will do our best to bring you the best new updates and features in the years to come.

Heres a new release for the Nintendo Switch:
NX-Shell is a multipurpose open source file manager for Nintendo Switch by Joel.
Features:* Added a menu bar – Use the Y button to access it. (Can only open settings for now, so the settings icon stays highlighted. The animation is something I tend to improve upon in later releases)
* Added dark theme mode. (Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
* Added .ZIP extraction. (Press A on a .zip file)
* Added Sorting options under settings. (Sort by alphabetical – ascending and descending order, by date (currently doesn’t work properly), by size – smallest and largest).
* Add support for GIF/BMP images in image viewer. (GIFs will be displayed as a static image)
Improvements and Fixes:* Progress bar is now properly displayed for copying/moving/extracting files.
* Improved many textures as well as some internal improvements in handling textures and some fixes with font alignment in certain areas.
* Fixed copy/move being enabled at the same time. If you press B in the options dialog it will cancel the item that is currently in the copy/move list. Instead, X should be used to open/close the file options dialog. The row/column will also reset when the B key is pressed.
* Freed some textures that weren’t previously freed, also free entries once we are done using them.
