Heres a new release for the Nintendo Switch:
The piracy scene is on fire again (with a ton of usual scene drama on top to fuel the flames), after someone 'leaked' an 'Cartridge Dumper', but as @AnalogMan points out below, it does have some limits, like no support for newer (cart2)-type games, but the version attached is now updated with features to dump to FAT32 and to dump only your 'private certs', so check it out: Well, this got leaked in ReSwitched discord just a bit ago, so might as well share it. This is a cart to XCI dumper. It has some limitations such as: - Cannot dump newest games with a logo partition (cart2)
I did not make this but I have tested and verified that it works. Place the NRO file in your sdmc:/switch/ folder and run with Homebrew Menu. Have fun.
NOTICE: Remember, these dumps contain your PRIVATE certificates for your specific cartridge. Sharing such a thing with others could lead to getting all of your consoles banned. Before you ask, scene releases do not have their certs, they were blanked out with 0xFF's. Other than the blanked out cert, the dumps made by this tool are exactly the same as scene dumps.
PS: WAIN stands for " Without An Interesting Name".
New & last version, 0.0.3. Support for FAT32 dumping as well as dumping without cert. There will likely be no more updates to this tool to support cart2 games.
Click to expand...
As NOTED ABOVE, these dumps you make from your original game cartridges are complete including your 'private certs' which is great if you want LESS RISK by going online with your piracy backups, instead of using a NULLed warez release from BigBlueBox, but if you want to be nice and share your 'backup' online with (cough) friends, become a true pirate, with wooden leg and eye patch, you need to use a program like our own MaxConsole XCI Exploder which has options to extract/inject certs., trim/split XCIs.

Just found this on Maxconsole but no clue to which console its for lmao, i presume the Nintendo Switch but who knows:
GBATemp'er @jakibaki has taken the 'leaked' WAINCartDumperNX which is closed-source, and rip it apart and added the changes to the previous GITHUB repo that clearly the leaked author had taken the code from, and as such now we have 'open-source' dumper that can be updated! I added xci-dumping-support to the open-source-cart-dumper!
This supports all the features that the open-source dumper had plus the dumping of xci-files. Like the closed-source-dumper this doesn't support the new cartridge-format yet (mainly because I don't own any cartridge with the new partition yet). - Dumped cartridges are dumped (splitted) to the sdcard in /dump-X.xci
- On linux/mac the files can be merged by using the following command:
cat dump-*.xci > path/to/full-game.xci
- Windows:
copy /b dump-*.xci full-game.xci
Please note that sometimes that dumps can get corrupted so please check if hactool can decrypt the all the files and if it can't try again.
Known issues: Dumping doesn't seem to work on some low firmwares (I could only test it on 5.1)

If your one of those after a Modchip for the Nintendo Switch heres some good news for you:
It is only a few days away before SX OS lands on your Nintendo Switch console, and you can enjoy the world of 'backup games' and 'homebrew' support on the latest v5.1.0 firmware, and as such TX has released one more announcement before the reviewers get their hands on the SX PRO which is shipping out this week worldwide to various resellers with preorders, so check it out below:
Welcome to the last Team-Xecuter announcement before we let the reviewers take over!
Please find final product & packaging pictures with this announcement. This is from one of the 100 review samples that will be shipped this week. If you are on the review copies list, you do not need to email us: We will send you tracking once shipped.
For reseller information, the packaging dimension and weight with product and cable: Weight: 30g. Dimensions: 10*7*1.4cm
We want to confirm that SX OS official launch date is June 15th. Remember this is the day we ship units to vendors, so your own tracking number from the reseller will be a few days later. Also, because this is very large product launch, we can't deliver all preordered units on D-day. If you placed your order late, you might have to wait a week more for your distributor to receive more stocks after he clears its first preorders.
We are working 24/7 right now to make the delay to deliver all preorders as short as possible.
As usual, a few Q&A that came back regularly:- Q: Is SX affected by the dreaded "battery desync" problem?
A: As far as we are aware this battery desync problem currently only occurs when running Linux on your Switch.
While extensively testing SX OS, including booting SX OS with AutoRCM we have not ran into a single battery desync issue ourselves.
SX OS itself isn't based on Linux. We *do* allow people to run Linux (and other payloads) through our "external payload" functionality. This is at your own risk.
If we had to give the community a hint as to where to start looking into this "battery desync" problem we'd suggest looking into how the Fuel Gauge IC (MAX17050, I2C1 addr 36) is being used by Nintendo's OS and by Linux.
- Q: If I boot in OFW mode and play my original purchased game online, am I safe?
A: Yes, you are safe to play original games online in OFW mode.
- Q: Does SX OS plays the original games in CFW mode?
A: Yes, it does.
- Q: If I download eShop games to an SD card, can I also run SX OS on that card?
Or do I need separate cards for Nintendo eShop games and SX OS games?
A: You can use the same SD card.
Next week, the first reviews will be online, we are sure they will be excellent as we expect!

Heres some interesting news for owners of the Nvidia Shield:
The similarities between the Nvidia Shield and Nintendo Switch have been pointed out countless times since the console's launch. Especially due to the Tegra X1 chip. When it was revealed that select Nintendo Wii games would be ported to the Shield (for China only), it got people wondering how well they would run, and if its emulation would be passable enough for use on the Nintendo Switch.
Digital Foundry, a team of reporters that are dedicated to finding how well games run thanks to frame-by-frame comparisons, have decided to tackle Super Mario Galaxy for Nvidia Shield, to test how well the game runs. You can see their entire analysis in the video above.
If you'd rather see a written report, the parent company of Digital Foundry--Eurogamer has done an in depth article on it as well.
Based on our tests, Nintendo and Nvidia's emulation work has a lot in common with Xbox One X's enhancement of Xbox 360 games, in that Super Mario Galaxy benefits from a 3x increase in resolution on the X and Y axis, resulting in a 9x boost to pixel count overall. That yields a curious 1920x1404 resolution - a 30 per cent boost over standard 1080p that's downscaled to the display output. It's a curious state of affairs, but almost certainly down to the fact that Wii games usually operate at around 640x480, with the emulator stretching out the horizontal resolution for widescreen support. The emulator effectively works in reverse, running natively on the X axis and downscaling the vertical instead.
There are other aspects of the presentation worthy of comment too. Looking at Xbox 360 titles enhanced for Xbox One X, we often see a mixture of upscaled 2D bitmaps and vector-based fontography that scales up to the emulator's chosen resolution. Super Mario Galaxy has native type and even some native resolution bitmaps that are subtly different to the originals, while other elements are still based on the 480p core art from the Wii release. It's unclear whether this game received a Chinese launch originally, so there may well be new artwork injected here - there's certainly proof here of a clear improvement over the Western code running under the Dolphin emulator.

The piracy scene is on fire again, after someone 'leaked' an 'Switch Cartridge Dumper', but as @AnalogMan points out below, it does have some limits, like no support for newer (cart2)-type games which have moved the 'logo partition' and only dumps to ExFAT. Well, this got leaked in ReSwitched discord just a bit ago, so might as well share it. This is a cart to XCI dumper. It has some limitations such as: - ExFAT only, it does not split the larger backups
- Cannot dump newest games with a logo partition (cart2)
I did not make this but I have tested and verified that it works. Place the NRO file in your sdmc:/switch/ folder and run with Homebrew Menu. Have fun.
NOTICE: Remember, these dumps contain your PRIVATE certificates for your specific cartridge. Sharing such a thing with others could lead to getting all of your consoles banned. Before you ask, scene releases do not have their certs, they were blanked out with 0xFF's. Other than the blanked out cert, the dumps made by this tool are exactly the same as scene dumps.

Snes Emulator gets a new release:
bsnes-mcfly v106r04 is released. Some of you may have noticed that Olympian Magic has seen no updates for over 3 weeks. I didn't put it on hiatus just for the sake of taking a break. No, the reason it went on hiatus is this project: bsnes-mcfly. This is a port of the Qt GUI from bsnes v073 to higan v106. In development versions up to v106, it was previously known as “bsnes-classic” in an attempt to replace AWJ's fork also named “bsnes-classic”. However, AWJ has shown that bsnes-classic is still alive, so this project had to be renamed.

In development versions up to v106, it was previously known as “bsnes-classic” in an attempt to replace AWJ's fork also named “bsnes-classic”. However, AWJ has shown that bsnes-classic is still alive, so this project had to be renamed.
This version of the Qt GUI has the following features:
Compatibility with higan v106, including v106-style gamepaks (cartridge folders)
Low-level emulation of the HG51BS169 (Cx4) and ARM6 (ST018)
Newer MSU1 features such as audio resume
Concatenated firmware in game ROMs, as well as a firmware/ fallback directory.
No cartridge folders are created within the user's home directory. It is all handled in memory.
Database lookup of SNES and Super Famicom cartridges. The database is embedded right into the application along with heuristics for games not in it, so icarus is not required.
Compressed archives: Zip, GZip, BZip2
Support for Zip and GZip provided by nall instead of snesreader
BZip2 support by Rob Landley under the zero-clause BSD license
Copier extensions: SMC, SWC, FIG, UFO, GD3, GD7, DX2, MGD, MGH, 048, 058, 068, 078, BIN, USA, EUR, JPN, AUS
All of these extensions are also available for use with BS Memory and Sufami Turbo slot cartridges.
Optional FuSoYa header (512 bytes at the beginning of the ROM)
WASAPI and ASIO audio drivers
Exclusive mode for Direct3D and WASAPI
Separate directories for save RAM, save states, and other mutable game files
Turbo buttons
asciiPad (more advanced turbo switches with Off, Turbo, and Auto settings)
Simultaneous up/down and left/right (must be enabled in the settings file)
I needed to use a really evil compilation trick to enable this feature without modifying higan directly.
IPS, UPS, and BPS soft-patching
IPS and UPS patches are applied before removing the FuSoYa header, and BPS patches are applied after.
Movie recording and playback
Cheats
Pro Action Replay (AAAAAA D, AAAAAADD, AAAAAA/DD)
Can omit the address/data separator or use a colon, when higan v106 mandates the use of an equals sign or a slash.
Game Genie (GGGG-GGGG)
Cheat search (works only on WRAM at 7e-7f:0000-ffff)
Software filters
2xSaI, Super 2xSaI, Super Eagle
HQ2x, LQ2x, Scale2x
Pixellate2x
blargg's snes_ntsc
Phosphor3x (was included in some bsnes v08x versions)
OpenGL shaders
Curvature and Edge Detection from higan v092
HQ2x, Pixellate, Scale2x
HDR-TV, Watercolor (these were marked “Archive” in bsnes v083 and not restored when bsnes v085 went back to XML from BML)
Sepia (converted from Direct3D)
Only 1 copy of nall for the overall project instead of a separate copy each for bsnes, snesfilter, and snesreader
Features missing from bsnes v073
Compressed archives: Z (compress), 7z, RAR, JMA
Most of these have restrictive licenses. Need to think carefully on how to implement them...
Selecting one of multiple files in a single Zip archive
snes_ntsc configuration dialog
Because the palette size was increased from 32768 to 524288, changing a setting causes bsnes to freeze while it recreates the palette. This dialog had to go.
Binding the Pause/Break key to an input
Direct3D shaders
As consolation, the Sepia shader was converted to OpenGL

DCEmu Coder Jayenkai is back with a new game for the Nintendo Switch:
Another week, another game!
Time for some "Blockman Gets" action.
A simple enough premise, and one you've no doubt seen plenty of times before. Guide Blockman through the maze of pills, and gobble up everything you can find.
But you can't go back!!
This game takes the classic dot-muncher game and twists it into a Puzzle mechanic that'll keep you munching for hours.

STJr and carstene1ns have ported the homebrew Sonic game to the Nintendo Switch:
Hoi, I have ported SRB2 to Nintendo Switch!
This is no proper release yet, but mainly a test build. Button configuration is not final yet (MINUS is mapped to ESC for now)
and also the startup time needs to be improved (currently it seems to wait for a network timeout for about a minute :unsure .
