POWDER is a roguelike originaly developed specifically for the Gameboy Advance (GBA) and now the 3DS. It is not a port of an existing roguelike as the controls of the GBA are very different from the traditional keyboard, and the screen imposes some additional limitations. It is built around replayability and long term ergonomics, not short term learning. It uses actual graphic tiles (16x16) rather than the traditional characters.
The source code is on github (https://github.com/nop90/POWDER-3DS).
The compiled game (3dsx) is released on github (https://github.com/nop90/POWDER-3DS/releases).
Credits:
The original game is made by Jeff Lait (http://www.zincland.com/powder/?pagename=about)
This game uses the sf2d library created by @xerpi
Changelog
Ver. 0.1preview (08 January 2016)
- Minor fixes
- Added CIA Build

N3S the 3d Nes Emulator for Windows has had a new release, heres whats new:
New features:
Added N3S file format, which defines 3D models to draw in place of sprites. Effectively, the 3D voxel sprites are editable. Use the "3D" menu to save and load. Generated automatically when game with CHR data is loaded. No in-game editor yet, use a text editor to play with generated file if you want to mess with the feature.
Improved pattern table recognition to find out which sprites are mapped.
Misc bug fixes.
Notable issues:
Cannot play games with no CHR data / sprite data compressed in PRG
Many games still have graphical glitches.
PAL games run, but at 60hz rather than 50hz.
Audio sometimes desyncs or becomes choppy. (You can move the window, pause emulation, or open a menu item to reset it.)
Audio buffer doesn't stop playing when moving window or manipulating menus.
Controls cannot be rebound.
Camera and emu controls only bound to XInput devices
Supports only Player 1 controller
Many menu items do not do anything yet
Possibly unknown issues on different versions of Windows, has only been tested on Windows 10 x64

Over at Eurasia they have posted about a recent talk about the Gameboy revealing facts that we just didn't know before, heres more info:
"In the 'better late than never' department: Michael Steil (Mist) had an [video=youtube;CImyDBJSTsQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CImyDBJSTsQ"]interesting talk[/URL] over at 33C3 about the original Game Boy, also covering a bit of the differences compared to the later Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance models. Lots of great in-depth technical information squeezed into one hour. Quote: [I]'The 8-bit Game Boy was sold between 1989 and 2003, but its architecture more closely resembles machines from the early 1980s, like the Commodore 64 or the NES. Source

The Nes Mini Classic, a console with 30 built in Nintendo Games has been hacked to play roms, sounds awesome, heres more info:
"I just got word from GaryOPA over at maxconsole.com that the NES classic is hacked, even game ROMs can be added to the existing kachikachi emulator collection. The method used is in the forum post here. I guess someone finally figured out how to use Plutoo's descrambler released in November 2016 and how to flash the decrypted content back to the NAND. Progress!"

Retro Bits have unveiled a device known as the Super Retro Boy at CES. The Super Retro Boy resembles the classic original Game Boy, albeit with a few modern day improvements such as 10-hour battery life and a shatter resistant screen. This handheld is able to play every original Game Boy game ever made. However, it can also play every Game Boy Color game and every Game Boy Advance title. It even lets you play all of those games with a slightly better resolution thanks to the device's enhanced LED screen.

Im personally not too knowledgable with this but over at GBA Temp theres news of a loader that runs from an SD Card, I don't condone piracy but its an interesting release none the less:
Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.
As promised, a release is here, on Christmas/Christmas Eve.
Don't expect high compatibility or save support yet, but do expect many, many updates.
However...:
shutterbug2000 said: ↑ A fair warning and note to all: If you don't wish to save, keep ALL cards out of SLOT-1. THE SAVES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN IF THE SAVE CHIP MATCHES.
For example, running MKDS with an AC:WW game in SLOT-1 will overwrite AC:WW's save, since the chip is the same.
However, if you wish to save like this, TWLSaveTool can tell you the chip type. Just backup the old save first.
Click to expand...
Have fun!
Some games that work well with this version:
Warioware: Touched
Mario Kart DS (if you have a physical MKDS card for saving)
Bomberman
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
Space Invaders DS
MegaMan ZX
Yoshi Touch & Go

Marcan over at Hackmii has posted a great update about the Homebrew Channel, heres the post:
Last weekend was the 10-year anniversary of the Nintendo Wii. We thought we’d dust off the blog with a little birthday present: the source code for The Homebrew Channel.
When we built HBC, we always wanted it to serve as a reference for what homebrew software should look like: good design, professional-looking, user friendly, stable, safe, and supporting features such as network connectivity. We hoped it would inspire other software to aspire to a similar level of quality. But we didn’t want it to become an instant base for quick hacks and mods and endless cheap variations, and we also didn’t think proliferation of installable “channels” on the Wii is a good idea: we still think it makes much more sense to have one entry point into the homebrew ecosystem, and then launch everything else from there (among other things, because it’s easy to brick a Wii by installing things into NAND). And, to be fair, the code is definitely not as pretty as what you get when running it.
However, the plan was always to eventually open source it. Bushing, in particular, always championed for this. This release is dedicated to him.
Keep in mind that, since this was never developed in public, you’ll probably find embarrassing things in the source code. We’ve kept it maintained over the various releases, and we’ve done some very minor cleanup to this release to bring it up to date with the latest version of the toolchain and remove “security” bits no longer relevant to an open source release, but other than that, what you see is what you get. This is the code that the millions of users of The Homebrew Channel are running on their consoles.
Enjoy.
As a bonus, this code includes the fix for vWii aspect ratio on Wii U. The Title ID has been changed, so you can install it without clobbering your official Homebrew Channel (though telling them apart in the menu might be tricky!).

PlanetVB have posted news of a new Virtual Boy Emulator being written in Rust, heres more details:
Rustual Boy, a new Virtual Boy emulator written in Rust, is currently in development by ferris.
Quote:This emulator is not quite complete, but covers quite a bit of the CPU, memory mapping, and video hardware. It also contains a basic command-line debugger supporting disassembly, mem dump, breakpoints, etc. Many ROM's are fully compatible so far, but there's still some fundamental things that aren't yet implemented, such as some floating point flags/exceptions, bit string op's, etc. There are also a few bugs lurking around

One of my favourite games ever is Zelda A Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo, heres an excellent rom hack of that game, heres more info:
Love it or hate it, you’ve probably heard of it. Parallel Worlds is by far the most popular full-game hack of A Link to the Past released to date. Today, in honor of the 10-year anniversary of its original release, the hack has been updated to add several new gameplay mechanics, and to attempt to address many of its long-standing issues.
Some of the new features include:
- Full CD-quality soundtrack via MSU-1 audio support
- Stun enemies by hitting them with your bare fist (no sword)
- Upgraded AST-Style Pegasus Boots
- Break pots and collect items with the sword
- Shovel is now usable, with random treasures
- Loading your game starts with full health instead of half
- Able to save the game at any time, no need to get the sword first
- Backtracking from the top of the Parallel Tower is possible (eliminates an extra climb for the Kokiri Emerald)
- Bomb knockback no longer damages Link
