Have you ever thought about hooking up another console's controller to your Switch but you don't fancy either carrying around a USB adapter dongle or running an app on another device for hid-mitm? Look no further then, as sys-con is here to save the day!
Sys-con is a custom Switch sysmodule that allows you to use third-party controllers on your Nintendo Switch. Unlike the other previously mentioned homebrew solution, which, as the name suggests, worked by MITMing Horizon OS' built-in hid module, sys-con just needs you to connect your controllers using your Dock's USB ports: no Wi-Fi connection or external applications required. Not only this will result in less input latency (and, of course, a much simpler setup) but it also means the sysmodule won't conflict with Atmosph?re 0.9.4's libnx input workaround, making it fully compatible with the CFW's latest version!
There are, however, a few limitations. First off, as hinted before, sys-con only works in Docked mode. The sysmodule is also only compatible with DualShock 3, Xbox 360 (wired, the wireless dongle reportedly doesn't work) and Xbox One controllers, with DualShock 4 support coming soon. Lastly, rumble and motion controls do not work at the moment.
Sys-con has been developed by @cathery and can be downloaded by clicking the download link below. It officially supports Atmosph?re and will work on FW 5.0.0 and up (warning: crashes or freezes may happen on 9.0.X due to high memory usage). You can install it by extracting the release's contents on your microSD card, overwriting if necessary, and then rebooting your console. For more information on upcoming features, troubleshooting and developer support, head over to the project's GitHub repo (also linked below).

What may seem just a small point release at first can instead turn out to be bigger than expected: @Nanquitas and @PabloMK7's BootNTR has been updated to v2.13.1, introducing three notable features in the process! For starters, support has been added for the newly released 3DS firmware 11.12.0, which came out just a few days ago and broke NTR due to some internal differences. Speaking of NTR, the CFW has also received a small update going from 3.6 to 3.6.1, as it now uses a slightly faster way to access memory for screen streaming purposes on New 3DS consoles.
And yet, I've saved the best for last. Back when Luma 10 had first been released in late June of the current year, we advised NTR users against upgrading as the new version broke some of the latter CFW's functionalities, like game plugins and potentially other minor features. However, BootNTR Selector v2.13.1 has finally solved these issues and now sports Luma 10.0.x compatibility: this means you can now update safely and enjoy both Luma 10's improvements and NTR's various features without worrying about incompatibilities and broken functions!
...But there's just a small exception: some users have reported Mode 3 builds being broken on Old 2/3DS consoles. As such, if you own an Old 2/3DS and you wish to use NTR together with extended memory titles (for example, 7th gen Pok?mon games and Super Smash Bros. 3DS) it's still best to wait until the issue gets investigated further. On the other hand, non-Mode3 builds are working correctly for both types of consoles, so upgrading is recommended if you own a New 2/3DS (as you won't need the Mode3 build at all) or an Old 2/3DS but you do not care about using NTR in extended memory games.
Quoted from changelog: Changelog
- Added 11.12 support.
- Added Luma3DS v10.0.1 support.
- Updated NTR v3.6 to v3.6.1.
NTR v3.6.1 Changelog
- Small improvement in the N3DS streaming code. (Uses Luma3DS PA -> VA memory mapping instead of DMA)

BootNTR Selector's GitHub repo and releases page are both linked below. You can also find a link there to its official GBAtemp thread, which you can use to both read more about the project and get help with troubleshooting.

Here?s a rare occurrence; a translation for an FDS game with a fair bit of text. It is complete and should be issue-free for your enjoyment and curiosity of this piece of video game history.
The project began several years ago as a side project and morphed into the kind of project that had the hacker, Pennywise, questioning why he was putting himself through such agony. Ultimately he was able to see the project through thanks to the help of several translators along the way.
Dead Zone is an early text adventure released way back in 1986 and is one of the first of its kind on Nintendo consoles. It?s a short game that can be completed probably in less than an hour, it has plenty of humor sprinkled throughout and it even has a nice little mini game to mix things up.
Like most old school games, the game itself gives you no backstory or context at the start of the game, but we?ve included some story translation from the manual in the readme to fill you in.
That said, if anyone good with photoshop wants to help make an English manual, that would be appreciated. Most of the manual is already translated to begin with, so it wouldn?t be hard for us

Nintendo's latest financial results show growth across the board, boosted in part by the launch of the Switch Lite.
For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the company reported net sales of ?443.97 billion ($4.1 billion), a year-on-year increase of 14.2%.
Profits saw bigger boosts with operating profit rising by 53.4% to ?94.2 billion ($869.1 million), and ordinary profit up 32.1% to ?91.9 billion ($847.8 million).
Total hardware sales reached 6.93 million units during the six-month period, up 36.7% when compared to the year before. Naturally the bulk of this was driven by the regular model of the Switch, which sold 4.98 million units, but the new Switch lite managed to shift 1.95 million units -- despite only launching 11 days before the end of the fiscal half.
This brings the lifetime sales for Switch up to 41.67 million units, with 246.01 million games sold.
Software sales for H1 reached 58.49 million units (up 38.8% year-on-year), with all three of Nintendo's major new releases selling more than two million units apiece.
Super Mario Maker 2 was the leader with 3.93 million units, but Link's Awakening wasn't too far behind with 3.13 million -- all the more impressive given the former was released in June and the latter was released on September 20.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses also performed well at 2.29 million units, although this was less than the 2.32 million that evergreen hit Mario Kart 8 Deluxe managed.
Nintendo reports the number of Switch titles to pass one million sales during the financial year, including third-party games, is now up to 11.
The platform holder also reports digital sales of ?71.6 billion ($660.6 million), up 83% year-on-year. This was attributed to the "steady growth in sales" for downloadable games, plus Nintendo Online Subscriptions.
There was a rare insight into the company's mobile business, with revenues from its smartphone titles reported as ?19.9 billion ($183.6 million) for the six moths -- an increase of 6.4% year-on-year. Nintendo did not detail how this was split between previously released titles and new releases Mario Kart Tour and Dr Mario World.

Amazon is clamping down on the number of sellers offering Nintendo products through its marketplace.
An email shared via the Amazon seller's forum reveals that anyone listing items produced by the platform holder now need the company's approval before they can continue with these transactions.
"If you do not obtain approval to see these products prior to 2019-10-31, your listings for these products will be removed," the email reads.
Amazon notes this is "part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible customer experience," although it's not clear whether this decision has been made by Amazon, Nintendo or both. GamesIndustry.biz has contacted Nintendo for clarification.
The retailer has contacted all sellers that have previously sold affected products, but assured that "there is no penalty associated with the action."

Luigi's Mansion 3 has eclipsed The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Super Mario Maker 2 to become the fastest-selling physical Switch game of 2019.
It performed this feat in part because it was on sale for 24 hours longer than either of those other two titles, as Nintendo released the ghost-hunting adventure on Halloween, which was a Thursday rather than the usual Friday.
It may still come as a surprise that a Luigi-fronted game performed ahead of Zelda and Mario, but Nintendo had a lot of faith that this could be a significant release for Switch. The title received headline billing during E3 this year, and the last game in the franchise (Luigi's Mansion 2 on 3DS) sold 5.5 million copies worldwide.
Physical launch sales of Luigi's Mansion 3 are actually 140% higher than its predecessor (released way back in March 2013), and that doesn't include digital sales (Nintendo does not share digital figures and digital is not included in this chart).
Don't expect Luigi to hold this record for long though, with Pok?mon Sword and Shield set to arrive later this month.
Luigi's Mansion 3 was the best-selling new game this week, but it had to settle for No.2 because Call of Duty: Modern Warfare remains at the top by quite a large margin. It's actually an impressive second week for the shooter, with sales down just 49% from its launch week.
The only other new game in the chart this week is the Disney double-pack featuring the classic Aladdin and The Lion King platformers. The nostalgic set debuts at No.12 and was published by Nighthawk Interactive. It sold best on Switch (representing 48% of sales), followed by PS4 (38%) and then Xbox One (14%). As before, this is just the physical data.
The rest of the chart is made up of familiar names. At No.3 is FIFA 20, which has now surpassed 1m sales in physical form. And Mario Kart 8: Deluxe continues to be the game of choice for new Switch owners at No.4.
In terms of last week's new games, The Outer Worlds by Private Division (Take-Two) and Obsidian is at No.5. The game drops one place in its second week with a 60% fall in sales. Medievil on PS4 goes from No.5 to No.10 with a 64% sales drop, while WWE 2K20 plummets 81% and goes from No.3 to No.14. The 2K wrestling title has suffered negative PR due to a plethora of bugs and faults in the game.
A recent release that is proving surprisingly robust is Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. The EA game has only been out three weeks and it's sold more in its third week than it did in its first. The title has actually been popular as a digital release according to the GSD digital charts.

Just Dance 2020 launched yesterday for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and, remarkably, Nintendo's two-generation-old console the Wii. And it marks the last time an Ubisoft game will do so.
In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, Ubisoft confirmed that it was done with the Wii:
"We would like to clarify that Just Dance 2020 will be the last Ubisoft title to release on Wii. We can't speak on behalf of other publishers or for Nintendo."

Tick-tock, it's Cemu update o'clock! The popular Wii U emulator has now reached version 1.15.17c, and this time the changelog is going to be a bit more exciting than the last. In fact, alongside your usual dose of bugfixes and smaller improvements, there's also a couple of additions you may be interested in: better Amiibo handling and built-in Gamecube controller support! Regarding the former, the emulator can now both read and write Amiibo nickname/associated Mii and game-specific data, also, the Amiibo settings app is now working correctly, as some required yet previously missing API calls have been added. The latter, on the other hand, is self-explanatory - but keep in mind you will have to set your Gamecube controllers to run in Wii U mode (official Nintendo USB adapters are set to use it by default, while third-party devices usually have a switch to set their operating mode) and you will also need to install/replace its drivers with Zadig before using it.
With that said, here's the full, official changelog for the curious:
Quoted from official changelog: # Cemu detailed changelog for 1.15.17b
# Patreon release date: 2019-10-18
# Public release date: 2019-10-25
# New in 1.15.17c:
GX2: Reverted Intel transform feedback crash fix because it breaks TF on all vendors. Instead, disable TF on Intel for the time being
# New in 1.15.17b:
general: Fixed a rare crash related to enumerating GC controllers
input: Fixed IR pointer regression introduced in 1.15.17
GX2: Fixed crash on Intel GPUs when transform feedback is used
GX2: Added workaround for a softlock bug on Intel GPUs
# New in 1.15.17:
general: If no mlc location is set, Cemu will allow to choose a location instead of forcing the default <root>/mlc01
general: Cemu will remember adjusted column widths in the game list (#147)
general: Added context menu to game list columns to reset width or hide/show columns
input: Added support for Gamecube controllers to input settings (the controllers must be running in 'Wii U mode' with zadig drivers)
input: Improved accuracy of wiimote and nunchuck acceleration values
input: Fixed wiimote performance when sending a lot of packets (e.g. rumble) or when using multiple wiimotes (#39)
input: Fixed a bug where the input settings would stop detecting pressed keys or buttons
nfp: Added support for reading and writing Amiibo register info (nickname and owner mii)
nfp: Added support for reading and writing Amiibo game specific data
nfp: Implemented missing API that prevented the Amiibo Settings app from booting
Note:
(#xx) refers to bug tracker issues resolved by this change. See http://bugs.cemu.info/projects/cemu/
Click to expand...
Cemu 1.15.17c can be downloaded by going to its official website (linked below) or, if you are already running version 1.15.10 or later, by using its included auto-updater. The Vulkan renderer is still only available on the Patreon-exclusive v1.16.0 WIP builds for the time being.
NOTE: Users running the previously released v1.15.17b on PCs with Intel graphics chips are recommended to upgrade, as this version rolled back a fix for transport feedback on said GPUs that didn't end up working correctly.

As of today, all of the NES and Game Boy Mega Man games have received a patch that makes weapon energy refill upon losing a life.
The goal of these patches are to make the game less frustrating (especially during final stages, where some weapons are required to pass the level), but also to create consistency with the later Mega Man/X games for Playstation 1 and PSP.
If you got sick of running out of Magnet Beam in Mega Man 1, or Rush Jet in Mega Man 3, or even the Carrier from Wily’s Revenge, be sure to try out these patches! They may save your sanity during these heinous final stages!
Get the patches here:

At last, the long-awaited English translation for Rockman EXE 4.5: Real Operation, also known as Mega Man Battle Network 4.5, is finished!
Released in mid 2004, Rockman EXE 4.5 is a quirky spin-off of the Mega Man Battle Network series, made to tie in with the real-life BattleChip Gate peripheral for the GBA. Instead of the player controlling MegaMan directly, he moves and attacks by himself, while the player sends commands and chips for him to use. A large number of other Navis from the series are also playable.
A few attempts to translate the game had been made before, with the first project starting all the way back in 2006. However, the vast amount of text in the game and lack of available translators marred efforts. It wasn’t until a few years ago that one project led by fan community The Rockman EXE Zone truly got off the ground, and produced the English patch that has been released now.
The translation for Rockman EXE 4.5 translates 100% of all text and images in the game, while also fixing bugs in the game and adding some new features to reduce the game’s reliance on the BattleChip Gate. The team has also translated the game’s manual and an interview with the game’s developers, which can be downloaded from the translators’ website.

Notably for 'patched' and 'mariko' units which is very advanced, and works flawlessly. We were not given a firm date or prices yet, but knowing TX we know the price will be very reasonable. We also saw early beta for Switch Lite console as well.

The Nintendo Switch is edging closer to its Chinese release as a key first-party title has been approved by the government's regulator.
Seeking Alpha reports the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television has granted Tencent the rights to publish New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe for Switch in China.
This was backed up by Twitter user @ChineseNintendo, which shares news from the region. The account confirms the government has approved of Mario's release in China and that the company handling it will be Tencent not Nintendo or the platform holder's established distributor iQue.
The leading Chinese publisher previously won approval on a test version back in April, when it first established a relationship with Nintendo that will see the latter's best-selling console officially released in Mainland China.
There is no concrete data set for this launch as of yet -- the last major news from both firms was in August and detailed how Tencent will be localising Nintendo's games for the local market. With a Mario title now approved, that's one less barrier preventing the two firms from launching the console.
The Nintendo titles heading to China have been caught in the backlog caused by last year's big freeze on new game approvals, a measure the government took while restructuring the regulator responsible for video games and other media.

Final Fantasy IV - Ultima version 5.12f is finally out! It has been quite a journey creating and updating this hack, however, it has finally arrived at the end in its final form.
Originally, about a year ago, this project began as an addendum to the vanilla game: FF2SNES. The idea was to make a few polish here and there, and reuse some of the empty space and dummied out contents in the rom to create some meaningful and new weapons/spells/gears to spice up the core FF4 experience. However, as time went by, with the combination of new ideas that kept popping up and suggestions from many players of this hack, more and more goodies was added to the hack to a point where Final Fantasy IV - Ultima had become its own personality. In its final form, not only has the hack been treated with new goodies and a few extra endgame additions as it did back in v1.0, but it is now loaded with a ton of extra content such as new side-quests, new scenarios, new weapons and much much more throughout the entire game from start to finish…plus a fairly good sized endgame adventure in addition as well. Here are a few notable features of this hack:
- 32 New Weapons! 21 New Spells! 20 New Bosses!!
- Fully Detailed Equipment Screen!
- New Attack Animation that scales to your Power!
- Dual-Wielding Dark Knight Cecil!
- New Side-Quests! New Events! New Endgame Scenarios!!
Barring any bug fixes or polish updates, this should be the FINAL VERSION of Final Fantasy IV - Ultima. So if you haven’t already, do give it a download and check it out! Hope you’ll all enjoy this hack immensely and feel free to reach out if you have any questions and/or comments! Cheers!!

melonDSi beta is released. melonDSi is able to boot DS-mode games from the DSi menu. They currently run with the DS-mode BIOSes and backwards-compatible touchscreen mode, but at the 133MHz clock speed and with 16MB of RAM. melonDS is an open source Nintendo DS(NDS) emulator. melonDS is part of a second wave of DS emulators. There are a few other emulator projects that are part of it, which you might have already heard of. Either way, check them out!
How to use melonDSi
BE SURE TO READ THIS BEFORE USING MELONDSI. You are using a beta release, provided with zero polishing and with a debug console. I expect that you know what you are doing to atleast some extent.
melonDSi will require several files to be dumped from a DSi. It's a bit messy right now, but we hope to come up with more user-friendly solutions in the future.
So, if you have a DSi, you might want to install unlaunch on it.
A quick rundown of the files melonDSi requires:
* bios9.bin / bios7.bin: DS-mode BIOS images. Those are the same as the ones from a DS. They shouldn't be required to get DSi software running, but melonDSi will refuse to start if they aren't present.
* bios9i.bin / bios7i.bin: DSi-mode BIOS images. Those can be dumped from your DSi using the good ol' dsbf_dump.nds.
* firmware.bin: SPI FLASH image. See above. dsbf_dump.bin yields a 'FWxxxxxx.bin' file which you need to rename. It should be 128K.
* dsikeys.bin: AES keys at boot time, dumpable using dsidumper.
* initmem9.bin / initmem7.bin: Boot-time contents of ARM9 ITCM and ARM7 WRAM, containing several other useful keys. See above.
* nand.bin: DSi NAND image, ideally dumped with fwTool. This should be dumped from the same console as dsikeys.bin and initmem9/7.bin.
BEFORE STARTING
Make sure that your DSi-mode ARM7 BIOS is good. Open bios7i.bin in a hex editor. Ensure that the first 32 bytes are the following:

Make sure that your NAND dump has the 'nocash footer' at the end. Open it in a hex editor and check that it has the string 'DSi eMMC CID/CPU' at offset 0xF000000. This is the beginning of the 64-byte 'nocash footer', which holds the eMMC CID and console ID.
Ideally make sure that direct boot is disabled.
Using melonDSi
As with regular melonDS, System->Run will boot the firmware, which should land you into the DSi menu if you did everything right.
You will need to recalibrate the touchscreen through the system settings app to have it work correctly.
melonDSi can boot some DSi-mode apps, but they currently don't work that well.
Booting games
melonDSi is able to boot DS-mode games from the DSi menu. They currently run with the DS-mode BIOSes and backwards-compatible touchscreen mode, but at the 133MHz clock speed and with 16MB of RAM.
DSi-enhanced games do not boot yet.
Direct boot is likely to break things as it hasn't been updated yet.
Other issues
Do not attempt using savestates, they can and will go wrong.
melonDSi is based on melonDS 0.8.1, so it will have the bugs present in that version.
