Steveice10 proposes a first draft of FCEUMM3DS , fast porting the emulator nes " FCEUMM libretro "for the Nintendo 2DS / 3DS.
Quote:
FCEUMM3DS is a quick port (maybe an hour or two) I made of the FCEUMM libretro core to the 3DS, based on my existing Nestopia port. The official RetroArch port to 3DS will likely be better than this, but since I had most of the work already done, I figured I might as well plug the FCEUMM core into my existing work to have something much nicer than Nestopia until the official port is stable and easy to use.
The emulator seems to run at near full speed, at least with Super Mario Bros. It isn't quite running at full speed though, which is evident from the choppy sound quality. It's definitely a lot faster than Nestopia was.

A new version of the Nintendo 64 emulator Mupen64Plus has been released.
Quote:
Hello N64 fans! Sorry it´s been so long (almost 2 years) since the last Mupen64Plus release. I´ve been too busy with everything else in my life to devote much time to Mupen64Plus, but there have been plenty of developers making great contributions to our emulator, and I finally carved out the time to put together a new release for you. There have been so many changes that I skipped over some version numbers and went straight to 2.5 for this one! Some of the highlights of this release are:
- All: Moved from BitBucket (Mercurial) to GitHub for source control. Added Travis CI integration for automated build regression testing. All: Added project files for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 All: Finished and perfected integration with SDL Bibliotheken" target="_blank">SDL 2.0, and changed Makefiles to build against SDL Bibliotheken" target="_blank">SDL 2.0 by default (Linux and OSX only) Audio: Add audioresource support for integration with Linux-based Nemo Mobile OS Core: Game-specific fixes: Banjo Tooie, Zelda Ocarina of Time, DK64, Hydro Thunder, others Core: Game-specific override for # of clock cycles per cpu instruction Core: Cheat fixes for WWF No Mercy, Bomberman Hero, Super Mario 64, and Pokemon Stadium (E) Core: New Dynarec: Speed improvements, accuracy fixes, build support for MSVC Core: Major R4300 CPU core refactoring in many subsystems to improve code organization Core: Rewrite speed limiter code to improve performance and audio synchronization Core: Support for building against OpenGL ES Core: Build system improvements for ARM / Raspberry Pi Input: New auto-config sections for: Wiimote Classic, Wii U Gamecube / Pro, MS SideWinder GamePad Pro, 17 others Input: Fall back to joystick settings for analog x/y when Mouse=True but pointer is un-grabbed Input: New feature: prevent mouse/trackpad auto-centering behavior by pressing left-Windows key RSP: Game-specific fixes: Bottom of the 9th, IndianaJones, BattleForNaboo, Conkers Bad Fur Day RSP: Support for MusyX microcodes RSP: Improve audio microcode identification RSP: Huge quantity of code cleanups and refactoring to improve organization RSP: Add support for additional audio commands: #16, POLEF, RESAMPLE_ZOH RSP: Multiple bugfixes in audio processing code Rice-Video: Game-specific hack-fix to show last heart and map arrows in Zelda OoT & MM Rice-Video: Graphics fixes for: Fog, RDP InsertMatrix command Rice-Video: Add config option to force polygon offset values (fixes artifacts on certains games / renderers) Rice-Video: Modernize OpenGL interfaces, remove code for supporting old OpenGL Homepage" target="_blank">opengl versions Rice-Video: Lots of code cleanup, removal of deprecated code, and simplifications Rice-Video: Fix for INI file loading under Windows Rice-Video: Bugfix: crash if RiceVideoLinux.ini not found Glide64mk2-Video: New feature: option to enable full-scene antialiasing Glide64mk2-Video: New feature: frameskip, to drop frames if game is going slow (optional) Glide64mk2-Video: Support loading of DAT files for hi-res texture Glide64mk2-Video: Allow user override of game-specific settings via mupen64plus.cfg Glide64mk2-Video: Add OpenGL Homepage" target="_blank">OpenGL ES support (2.0) Glide64mk2-Video: Add config option to force polygon offset values (fixes artifacts on certains games / renderers) Glide64mk2-Video: Win32: don´t set gamma table because it breaks monitor calibration Glide64mk2-Video: Code cleanup to remove dead section of code Glide64mk2-Video: Bugfix: work around problem in OSD callback whereby core code doesn´t re-activate shader Glide64mk2-Video: Bugfix: Resident Evil II hang Glide64mk2-Video: Bugfix: texture pack read failure on some 64-bit platforms Glide64mk2-Video: Bugfix: N64 ROM header analysis for PAL/NTSC detection
Full release notes can be found here.
Credits
Development on Mupen64Plus really started to take off after we moved to GitHub. I merged contributions from more developers for this release than any previously. The developers who wrote code for this Mupen64Plus v2.5 are: Bentley, Bobby Smiles, Conchur Navid, ecsv, fayvel, Gillou68310, gizmo98, kode54, krnlyng, littleguy77, Narann, Nebuleon, Paulscode, Richard42, ricrpi, rlabrecque, s-verma, twinaphex, Ursula Abendroth, V1del, willrandship, and wnayes. Thanks to all of you for your hard work!
News
One unfortunate piece of news is that our project hosting site (Google Code) is kicking us (and everyone else) out now. The project will become read-only in a few months, and in January 2016 the project page will be shut down. We will be migrating all of information that we had in our Google Code site to other places, but I don´t know where yet. We will continue to host our source code and developer bug tracker at GitHub.
There is a lot of interesting development work still in-progress for Mupen64Plus. Narann has been busy completely re-writing Rice Video to support OpenGL Homepage" target="_blank">OpenGL ES and modernize all of the OpenGL Homepage" target="_blank">OpenGL code. A new developer has ponied up with a preliminary implementation of Network multiplayer. That has been a highly desired feature for many years, so I´m sure many of you will be happy when that gets stabilized and lands in a release. And there has been much discussion about refactoring to remove some plugins and simplify the system architecture. This work could make Mupen64Plus easier to integrate into other software like the Android front-end and libretro.
Quick start (Linux)
The easiest way to start running and testing this release is to download a binary bundle package from the Google Code site (link below), unzip it into a directory, and run it with this command: "./mupen64plus m64p_test_rom.v64". You can run it directly from this directory, or to install it to your system, simply do "sudo ./install.sh". Likewise, to un-install it, "sudo ./uninstall.sh"
Quick start (Windows)
For Windows users, download the bundle-win32 zip file from the Google Code site (link below) and unzip it to a directory. Open your DOS prompt (Start->Run->cmd.exe or the "Command Prompt" in Start->Accessories). Once you have the command-line window, ´cd´ to the directory where you unzipped the win32 bundle. Then run "mupen64plus-ui-console.exe m64p_test_rom.v64" to start up the test ROM. Press Escape to exit. Use the ´--help´ command-line option to get a list of all available options. The last argument is always taken to be a path to an uncompressed N64 ROM image to run. Sorry but there is currently no Windows installer available.
Downloads
To download Mupen64Plus v2.0, just grab the package that you want:
mupen64plus-bundle-osx64-2.5.zip
mupen64plus-bundle-win32-2.5.zip
mupen64plus-bundle-win32-2.5-new-dynarec.zip
mupen64plus-bundle-linux32-2.5.tar.gz
mupen64plus-bundle-linux64-2.5.tar.gz
mupen64plus-bundle-linux64-2.5-ubuntu.tar.gz
mupen64plus-bundle-src-2.5.tar.gz
Emulation64 Mirrors
Please note that the Linux binary packages are linked against the latest version of libpng, which is 1.6. Some Linux distributions (including Ubuntu and its derivatives) still use older versions of libpng, so the "-ubuntu" package is provided which links against libpng 1.2. If you get ´dlopen´ errors when running the default binary build, try the "-ubuntu" package instead.
The Windows packages were built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, and you may need to install the Microsoft redistributable package for this version of Visual Studio, if your operating system is too old.
The New Dynarec is much faster than our original one, but it is not as well tested and may contain defects which cause bugs in game playback, graphical artifacts, or crashes. For Windows users whose computers are not fast enough to play games well with the standard build, you may try out the New Dynarec build.
Front-end applications
As many of you know, I made a major change in the architecture of Mupen64Plus when we began working towards this release, back in 2009. I separated all of the user-interface functions from the core emulator and re-designed the core to be a library which can be linked against different user interfaces (called Front-end applications). This architecture allows us to focus on making the best emulator possible while reaching the widest audience by allowing other developers to write front-end programs for any platform. Users should be aware that the front-end application which is included with the release bundles is a command-line application. We keep a list of third-party plugins and applications here.
Documentation
Mupen64Plus has a Home Page over at Google Code, with lots of useful information, screenshots, a bug tracker, a mailing list, etc. There is a lot of user documentation here.

NES emulator has been updated. Changes:
- A truly ancient bug related to POV hat configuration and usage has finally been fixed - now, the axis/discrete toggle only affects configuration, and both modes will actually work during gameplay.
- The checkbox in Controller Configuration has also been reversed, so that Axis mode (which tends to be more useful for NES controllers) is used by default.

Stardust Crusaders presents another completed NES RPG translation for the unknown classic, The Legend of Double Moon. At its heart, it is a DQ clone, but it is much more than that. Featuring a unique aim system in battle, battles have an extra layer of complexity added to them. On top of the great story, the game has many hidden things for players to discover. But please be aware that this game is old school and features a high encounter rate, hard as hell enemies, and requires a lot of grinding.
As for the project, it was started years ago by Bongo` and was translated by aishsha. But the project lingered and eventually died. aishsha eventually picked the project up and redid most of the hacking aside from a few misc things. Pennywise lent his expertise as usual. Finally, Eien ni Hen edited the script and played through the game for us.
Enjoy this quality translation that was years in the making.

“Battletoads (& Double Dragon)- the Dark Queen Rematch” hack has been updated to version 1.3 .
Main change that game can now be completed in 2-players mode without ’synchronized swimming’ : “the revolution” now adapted to 2 players, “intruder excluder”, “ice caverns” and some other levels yet more easier than in version 1.2 . Also fixed many bugs and added energy power-ups for Jimmy and Billy. See ‘ReadMe’ for detailed changelog.

regionFOUR is a region free loader for New3DS/New3DSXL/3DS/3DSXL/2DS which currently works on on firmware versions 9.2 and 9.7 this also allows you to bypass mandatory gamecard firmware updates. It currently requires that you own a copy of Cubic Ninja from your region in order to run. To see it in action, look no further. [h=2]> How do I run regionFOUR ?[/h]
1. Go to the get regionFOUR section of this page and enter your console's firmware version.
2. Hit submit; you should get your very own regionFOUR QR code.
4. Make sure your 3DS's wifi connection is enabled and connected to the internet (this is important!).
5. Start CUBIC NINJA on your console, choose "Create", then "QR code", and finally "Scan QR code".
6. Scan the QR Code. This step might take a couple tries; make sure you fill up as much of your 3DS's screen with the QR code. If scanning the QR code returns to menu with an error, try a few more times.
7. Follow the on screen instructions. You may choose not to install the exploit to your gamecard's savedata.
8. Once regionFOUR is ready, you will be prompted to insert your out-of-region gamecard. Simply remove the Cubic Ninja gamecard, insert your gamecard and press START.
9. OPTIONAL - once the regionFOUR is installed to your gamecard, just go back to the "QR code" menu and it'll run automatically!

Last time, I analyzed now update checks worked on the 3DS. That was a straightforward process. CARDBOARD (known colloquially as “System Transfer”) is a bundle of complexity with no less than three separate servers communicating with each other as well as the device. A custom proprietary protocol is used for 3DS to 3DS communication. Finally, we have multiple unique identifiers the console uses to identify itself with Nintendo (serial, certificates, console id, account id, etc). I can’t imagine this will be comprehensive, but I hope that whoever is reading can gain new insight on the complexity of the 3DS ecosystem.
[h=1]Nintendo Servers[/h]Before we begin, it would be beneficial to have a quick breakdown of the different Nintendo servers and what their uses are with respect to account management.
[h=2]SOAP Servers[/h]First, we have the SOAP servers which the 3DS communicates with using XML SOAP. The client that speaks to the SOAP servers is the “nim” module.
NetUpdateSOAP (NUS)
This server is used to handle update requests and is detailed in my last post.
ECommerceSOAP (ECS)
This is the gateway to all 3DS communication. Whenever the 3DS needs to speak with any of the SOAP servers, it first makes a request to “GetAccountStatus”, which returns the console’s (legacy) account id, region lock information, and other identifying information. It is also lets the 3DS “sync up” with Nintendo. For example, if the account id changed (off-line transfer, system format, etc) then this request returns error code 903 which forces NIM to obtain the proper account id and token through IVS. The account Country (region lock) ensures that requests are being made to servers in the right country. The AccountStatus returned is usually ‘R’ (no NNID linked) or ‘T’ (NNID linked). However, it can also be ‘U’ (device unregistered) or ‘P’ (account transfer is in process). If any of those responses are read, NIM will try to re-register the device (aka, create a new legacy account or transfer an old one over). Next, a list of the server URLs for all the other SOAP servers is returned. Finally, a list of ticket-ids associated with the account is returned. This is a list of all eShop titles and DLCs that the account is licensed for (which can be very large I assume). If the device sees any ticket ids it does not have currently installed, it will download the tickets. All of this is done during an Initialization request to speak with ECS servers from whatever system title made the request. That means every time any system application wishes to speak with Nintendo SOAP servers (for whatever reason), the device syncs up with Nintendo.
IdentityAuthenticationSOAP (IAS)
This handles what I call “legacy accounts.” Before NNIDs were introduced, the account id is unique per device. When you connect a new 3DS to the internet for the first time, a “Register” request is sent to IAS along with the device serial, unique certificate, and a signature over the entire request using the certificate. Nintendo assigns your console an account id and that is used in the eShop. If you choose to delete your unlinked account from the eShop settings menu, the “Unregister” request is made which delinks your legacy account from your unique console certificate. Then the next time GetAccountStatus is called, it will return ‘U’ for AccountStatus which will force the device to register for a new account.
CatalogingSOAP (CAS)
I think this is used to get information about system-wide parameters like “how often can an account be moved”. It is not used much and I did not look into it because it does not handle any account unique requests.
[h=2]NNID Server[/h]Next we have the “account.nintendo.net” server which appears to be REST based. The “act” module is responsible for speaking to it. This was introduced with the update that brought NNID. When you create a NNID, it is linked to your device serial and certificate (until you transfer it). Logging in to the NNID server consists of sending a username and hashed password along with the device serial, certificate, and region information. If everything matches what Nintendo has on file, an OAuth token is returned and used for further communications. It is important to note that NNIDs must be associated with a legacy account in addition to a device id. Upon first linking, titles associated with the legacy account is transfered over to the NNID. This means if you bought a console with a game pre-installed and you transfer your NNID over, that game will now be linked with your NNID. Linking an account also means that it is not possible to use that legacy account without the same NNID. When you link an account and format the system, you are forced to create a new legacy account. (I’m unsure if this means that if you buy content with this new legacy account and re-link your NNID if that will transfer the contents over. I believe that would be the case.)
[h=2]eShop Servers[/h]The eShop servers are also RESTful and are named “samurai”, “ninja”, “ccif”, and “eou”. Samurai is used for eShop requests (game details, screenshots, etc) and ninja is used for account information. The other two I have not observed yet. If the account is not linked (legacy account), getting an authentication token for ninja involves passing in just the serial number, region, and account token (from IVS). If the account is linked to an NNID, then a “service token” obtained from the NNID server (requested with the OAuth token) is also passed to ninja. This is how ninja is linked to IVS and NNID servers.
[h=1]System Transfer[/h]Initialization
When you first launch CARDBOARD (either system), as with any SOAP communication, the initialization requests GetAccountStatus which ensures the console is registered and up to date (account-wise, firmware-wise is done through NUS). If the Country returned here does not match the CARDBOARD title’s region, an error is shown. Next a request for GetCountryAttributes is made to CAS which returns MoveAccountMinDays, MoveAccountMaxTimes, and other information. Following that, an IVS request for GetAccountAttributesByProfile is made to check if the account information adheres the limits set by the CAS response. Finally, a couple of ECS requests are made to query the status of the account (balance, tickets, etc) which are likely cached for later use.
Receiving Console
At this point, you are given the option to send or receive from this console. If you are the receiving console, the console begins to broadcast UDS (Nintendo’s custom encrypted local wireless protocol) packets with the profile name, if the device is a development unit, and a hash of the console’s serial.
Sending Console
On the sending console, if it is NNID linked, the user will be prompted to input their NNID credentials. Once successful, the sender listens for UDS broadcasts and displays the ones it sees on screen. Once a receiver is selected, the two exchange basic information about the protocol version (there are current four versions) and various details on the devices. Because UDS does not guarantee packet integrity or arrival, a CRC is added to each packet header. To possibly prevent replay attacks, a random number is placed in each packet and a MD5 hash of the entire packet is included at the end.
Once both consoles are satisfied with the other’s reliability and status, the sending console disconnects from local wireless and connects back to the internet. Using either the NNID service token or just the IVS account token (for unlinked devices), a session with ninja (eShop) is established. This checks that the account is valid and the session is kept open for a later step. A request is made to IVS for MoveAccount with CheckOnly set to true. It passes the account ids, device ids, and tokens for both devices to check if a transfer is allowed. If, for example, the two devices are in different regions, a transfer is not allowed. If no error is returned, the user is now prompted to confirm the transfer (decide how to move the SD card data, move DSiWare titles, and other housekeeping tasks).
Transferring Data
Now the two consoles connect back using UDS and data transfer takes place over RDT, Nintendo’s reliable data transfer protocol implemented over UDS. The contents of nand:/data/<ID0> is copied from the old console over to the new one. I haven’t looked into the specifics of how it works, but I speculate that the receiving console’s SEED (in memory) is changed temporary to the sending console’s SEED. This allows the receiving console to create extdata and sysdata under the sending console’s ID0. Then it creates the data archives through the usual FSUser APIs and fills them with the data received from the old console. After the transfer is complete but before it is validated with Nintendo, the old SEED is restored so the new data cannot be used until the receiving console is synced up with Nintendo.
In the last step (transferring eShop shows up on screen), on the sending console, another request to IVS MoveAccount is made, this time CheckOnly is not set. This effectively transfers the legacy account over. Now, the NNID is transfered over with a request to the NNID server in order to link the new console serial/certificate with the NNID. At this point the old console’s CTRNAND is formatted (even before the “format” prompt shows up).
Validation
I have never reached this step since I was not able to perform a proper system transfer (not having access to two consoles from the same region) however I can speculate what happens next. The receiving console creates an empty shared extdata (0xe0000000) and reboots. Home menu sees this extdata and loads up CARDBOARD. It connects to ECS and sees the account status is ‘P’ and gets the new account details. As part of the GetAccountStatus response, a list of all tickets associated with the account is returned (and all tickets are downloaded). Note that since GetAccountStatus is made any time ECS communication is established, this can also happen the next time you enter eShop (if you interrupt the system transfer after the last step above). That is also how offline (Nintendo Support) transfers work. Then it writes the sending console’s SEED to the NAND and restores its own configuration save (wifi settings, profile name, etc) and reboots.
[h=1]Faking this Process[/h]I was able to fake a system transfer from my USA 3DS XL to my JAP N3DS by augmenting and substituting each of these steps. While the complete process is more complicated than I have time to describe (plus I haven’t kept notes of everything I did), I can give the basic outline of what I did here.
First, I performed a region swap using the SecureInfo replacement trick (using my old 3DS’s SecureInfo means I did not need to patch signature checks, but it also means I must manually patch my old serial number in memory every time I wish to enter eShop). Next I transfered my NNID by running CARDBOARD with the region checks patched out (one patch to replace GetAccountStatus response Country to be US and another one to ignore the error code from MoveAccount). Although the IVS MoveAccount fails, the NNID transfer seemed to have worked. At this point, my American NNID is associated with my Japanese console and Japanese legacy account. Since my legacy account did not transfer over, the validation step will always fail. So I dumped my NAND and manually imported the movable.sed over. Since the system data was already transfered over, I had to “activate” it by removing the 0xe0000000 extdata and copying over my old configuration save. Then I re-flashed my modified NAND and linked my NNID (after patching my old serial in memory). Finally, I was able to enter eShop and trigger the ticket download. Now my old SD card works and all my saves and games transfered over.
