GBATemp Homebrew bounty program is coming along with the 'first month' closing soon and one of the biggest entries in the contest is Gen 7 Engine by @iyenal it allows you to quickly develop 'homebrew' games & apps for Switch and other platforms. Gen7 Engine is an engine which I developed now for many months, at first to facilitate me the development of various homebrews. But after some point, Gen7 Engine was enough mature and developed... to make it a full engine, so I decided to make it a full software development kit. And since that, everything have been designed with novices in mind, so everyone can make his own homebrew with very little requirement, and I hope make quality ones. - A multiplatform engine
Gen7 Engine uses wrappers (SDL is planned) which makes its code versatile on any platform where the wrapper is supported. You can use Gen7 Engine to compile for the Wii (I already done so), Wii U, 3DS, even the Dreamcast or mobile, as SDL are ported on these platforms. As I didn't had enough time to test Gen7 Engine on other platforms than the Switch, I disabled Wii support for security reasons.
- Visual Programming
Yes, you can make your own homebrew without programming knowledge requirement! With blocks, compose the code of your application using the smart system of visual programming providen by Gen7 Engine. And in the future, node programming will be supported to be able to make FSM states (Finish-State System) and global view hierarchy to empower your programmation.
- Multiplatform itself
What better to be able to program anywhere? Gen7 Engine interface system is designed using OpenGL and hybrid Javascript which is supported on a wide range of devices, like mobile or tablets! And maybe even consoles in some cases! To compile you code in these devices, a cloud compilation system will be realized to set your own server or Gen7 Engine services so you can test your productions without the need of your computer.
- Extend your Gen7 Engine Installation
Customize Gen7 Engine for your needs and even use your own C code and librairies to not be limited by the engine, or use G3E files to extend the available events for your application and to share them.
Click to expand...
This is not for average Switch user, its for true 'homebrew' that wants to make some cool projects available on the Switch, for all the info on installation (it takes a while, an hour or more), author support & documention, downloads (large 2gigs), check out the source:

VelocityRa is busy porting over KODI branch on GITHub to the Switch, it not released yet, but its one project to follow for sure! Kodi is an award-winning free and open source software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. Available as a native application for Android, Linux, BSD, macOS, iOS, and Windows operating systems, Kodi runs on most common processor architectures.
Created in 2003 by a group of like minded programmers, Kodi is a non-profit project run by the XBMC Foundation and developed by volunteers located around the world. More than 500 software developers have contributed to Kodi to date, and 100-plus translators have worked to expand its reach, making it available in more than 70 languages.
While Kodi functions very well as a standard media player application for your computer, it has been designed to be the perfect companion for your HTPC. With its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, Kodi feels very natural to use from the couch with a remote control and is the ideal solution for your home theater.

SciresM just tweeted "Checked my calendar, and it looks like it's June 15th again -- Atmosphere 0.7.5 has released: New in 0.7.5 are DRAM training in fusee, which results in a ~200%-400% faster boot time (thanks, @hexkyz!), and creport output improvements. "0.7.5 is Atmosphère's sixth official release.
fusee-primary was last updated in: 0.7.0.
The following was changed since the last release: - DRAM training was added to fusee-secondary, courtesy @hexkyz.
- This greatly improves the speed of memory accesses during boot, resulting in a boot time that is ~200-400% faster.
- creport has had its code region detection improved.
- Instead of only checking one of the crashing thread's PC/LR for code region presence, creport now checks both + every address in the stacktrace. This is also now done for every thread.
- This matches the improvement Nintendo added to official creport in 6.1.0.
- The code region detection heuristic was further improved by checking whether an address points to .rodata or .rwdata, instead of just .text.
- This means that a crash appears in a loaded NRO (or otherwise discontiguous) code region, creport will be able to detect all active code regions, and not just that one.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
For information on the featureset supported by 0.7.0, please see the official release notes.

fOmey is back with a nice new homebrew utility app for using on your exploitable Switch to package up firmware files for you, this can come in handy to use to grab a 'update' from one Switch to use on another Switch that been banned from getting updates, so check it out below, currently its only v0.4 but its one app that will come more handy as features are added. The tool is quite simple: rather then having to depend on outside sources for firmware NCA's you can now dump them yourself in a targeted efficient manner directly on your switch.. I wanted to cut out the middle man. A means to a end, a tool designed specifically for firmware dumps.
No longer are you forced to dump your entire nand to get my hands on the latest firmware, this was a huge waste of time.. or have to patiently wait for the files to become available online, which again is another waste of time - expect delays!
What you do with the files is entirely up to you, development purposes? downgrade snapshots? latest firmware upgrade? Analysis? etc..
Dumping process does take a while, but much less time than a full NAND backup that's for sure! Once the dump is complete, simply open ChoiDuJourNX and target the dumped firmware directory to install.. simple, easy & efficient.
CHANGELOG v0.4:- Fixed firmware version detection.
v0.3:
- Detect firmware version & append version to output directory names on SD card.
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't restart a dump after canceling in certain situations.
- Verify necessary partitions are mounted between operations.

Nintendo appears to be removing support for Netflix on the Wii, potentially alongside whatever remains of the console's video streaming services, by early 2019.
In a post to Reddit yesterday, a user shared an email they received from Netflix regarding its discontinuation on the platform:
"Unfortunately, Nintendo will suspend all video streaming services on Wii-including the Netflix Channel-after January 31, 2019," the email reportedly read. "We hope you'll soon enjoy an even better Netflix experience with additional features on a supported device. Please visit netflix.com/wii for our device list."

GX2: Fixed 'Nvidia artifacts' (e.g. BotW lava and water surfaces would have distorted pixels)
GX2: Primitive RECT are now rendered as triangles
GX2: Added support for shader CALL instruction
GX2: Automatically scale texelFetch() coordinates to match resolution defined via texture rules
GX2: Added support for streamout in geometry shaders
GX2: Emulate color buffer GPU7 registers correctly
GX2: Fixed separate alpha blending
GX2: Correctly clamp out-of-bounds LOD values in GX2InitSamplerLOD()
GX2: Fixed a bug were tiling aperature always assumed a tilemode of 4
GX2: Added support for texture formats R16_SNORM and BC4_SNORM
GX2: Fixed a bug where the first depth clear on an previously unknown texture was being ignored
GX2: Fixed slowdown when rendering point primitives (Mainly affected Mario Kart 8 and Fatal Frame 5)
GX2: Fixed random crash that could occur shortly after shader cache finished loading
PPC/JIT: Small tweaks and improvements
gfxPacks: V2 graphic packs that are not compatible with 1.14.0 will be marked as outdated
coreinit: Context LR is now stored as big endian
coreinit: Added API OSContinueThread, MEMGetAllocatableSizeForBlockHeapEx, OSSwapAtomic
coreinit: Small tweaks to OSExitThread
input: Fixed touch input in separate pad window
input: Improved deadzone handling
vpad: Fixed directions of axis values in certain situations
snd_user: Added snd_user HLE implementation (VC titles and some other games should now have audio even without providing snd_user.rpl) |

news via http://www.emulation64.com/view/2913/RxNES-3021/
RxNES has updated to v3.021. This release is an important update, and fixes the issue of generating gigs of data, due to constantly making new textures, where as now it now replaces existing textures, so should be reduced to a more manageable 500meg of ram.
This release also fixes issues to general emulation script RxEnhance.cs, which was getting confused in some rom emulation.
Also a call out to anyone who'd like to help with this project:
|
As you should know the main Enhancement script RxEnhance.cs is editable in a text/c# editor, and hopefully a user can optimize / improve it further and share with everyone else.
The sprites are rendered on their own layers, 1 layer for each of 4 screen palettes.
they are then cropped out for dumping.
This is the wrong approach, and sprites should be read from the cartridge and not from the screen; (but I spent weeks coding it this way). Problems arise when 2 sprites overlap each other and they dump combined and overlapping (Only if they use the same of 4 palettes).
Some sprites dumped are duplicates yet have different file names, cropping is over-cropped.
I dunno, I did my best effort on everything but I was really hoping for help from the community.
Lots of good things! The emu has tons going for it!
I just wanted to mention the bugs I would like to see fixed by users as I don't have a current interest in fixing them ('cause it doesn't run full speed).
Important to remember is that replacement graphics can be bigger than their original screen space, so the over-cropping issue shouldn't even matter if ppl are replacing the graphics with new ones anyway. The issue that remains is the corrupt sprites, if a sprite dumps at the same time as the nes is rendering it, it will be half and half of a frame and the frame before. This would cause the replacement sprite not to be used and the corrupted / incomplete sprite to flicker on.
Also, a good point, is that any .png can be replaced with a .obj 3d model. (For sprites and BG Tiles) Just make the .png trasparent and name the .obj the same hash fliename as the .png. The exact way it works is in the code and i'm just still waking up this morning.
I guess this is a call out to Unity3d coders to have a look at the RxEnhance.cs script and see if they can improve it. If you could with the release of this version, write up a call to coders to have a look and fix up the main script. (It compiles at Runtime  )

LiquidFenrir has released a Connect 4 game for the Nintendo Switch:
Connect Four Dual Edition
Game
This is a normal game of Connect 4, for 2 players on Nintendo Switch (hold the joy-cons sideways!) but with a twist!
Start a game with L3/R3 or press L/R (depending on who starts) to toggle between normal and pop-out mode, where you remove the bottom piece of a column and make all the ones above fall one rank!
This should add another layer of strategy to the game, making it ten times more fun! No more ties, once the grid is full, carefully drop down columns and try to win!
Use the dpad/abxy buttons to select the column to drop your piece, and L3/R3 to validate your action, starting the other player's turn.

K3yn has released a new version of the Simple Simon game for the Nintendo Switch:
Simon is an electronic game of memory skill invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison, with software programming by Lenny Cope. The device creates a series of tones and lights and requires a user to repeat the sequence. If the user succeeds, the series becomes progressively longer and more complex. Once the user fails or the time limit runs out, the game is over. The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley and later by Hasbro after it took over Milton Bradley. Much of the assembly language was written by Charles Kapps[citation needed], who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming. Simon was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s.
Features :
- U can use differents accounts for play.
- Highscores
- Tactil
Controls : - Double Touch or D-pad + A : Menu Selection - Short Touch or Short A : enable color - - : Back to menu - : Restart game - Plus : Exit game

After exceeding 5 million sold units in Japan last month, the handheld-home console hybrid has achieved a new milestone with 22.86 million units sold, officially surpassing the GameCube's 21.74 million units during its lifetime and nearly doubling that of the WiiU.
The news come from the Big N's latest financial data on dedicated video game sales units. You can compare the data with other systems' lifetime sales with the image attached below.
Sitting on the throne is the Nintendo DS with a whooping 154.02 million units shipped while at the bottom of the ladder is the WiiU with a mere 13.56 million units sold. Given the current trend, the Switch is in line to overtake the Nintendo 64, which sold 32.93 million units.
