fgsfdfgs has released a new port of Doom to the Nintendo Switch:
Features:
most things work, including sound, music, multiplayer and the hardware renderer;
launcher that lets you pick mods and start network games.
To install, unzip gzdoom_nx_1.zip to the switch folder on your SD card, then place at least one supported IWAD (eg doom2.wad) into gzdoom/iwads/. For the complete list of what GZDoom supports, see the wiki.
To run, start GZDoom Launcher from HBMenu. You can start GZDoom by itself, but it will default to the last played IWAD (or the one it finds in the folder).
Known bugs (as of v1):
When you exit the game via the Quit option in the menu, something doesn't deinitialize properly and the next homebrew you run will crash, unless you exit and reenter hbmenu.
Joystick axis settings might reset after restart.
Startup takes a while.
Some notes:
Launcher controls:
D-PAD: navigation
L/R: change tab
A: activate option
B: cancel/exit
X: reset option
PLUS: start game
GZDoom (especially some more complex mods) may require more RAM than is available in applet mode, so better use another title instead of the Album for HBMenu override, or use NSP HBMenu;
you can technically place the game into any folder, as long as the gzdoom folder is next to gzdoom_launcher.nro;
mods are supported (yes, Brutal Doom as well) and should be placed in the gzdoom/pwads folder because the launcher only scans that folder;
the launcher has predefined default profiles for most IWADs, you can add your own profiles by pressing Y on the main tab;
multiplayer was only tested between a Switch and a PC, but Switch <=> Switch will probably work as well;
you can start a netgame from the launcher; don't forget to change the player number from 1 and read the warning message;
the IP that's placed in the address field by default is your Switch's local IP, others can use that to connect to it if they're on the same network;
only the player that hosts the game needs to set gameplay settings, however everyone has to pick the same set of custom files as the host;
you can exit via the HOME button, but in that case the game won't save its settings;
if the game crashes, check for error.log in the gzdoom folder; if that doesn't help, turn on "Write log" in the launcher and run it again, then check gzdoom.log.
Credits:
ZDoom + GZDoom teams and other contributors for GZDoom;
fincs, Armada651, Subv and probably others for their work on the OpenGL/mesa/libdrm stuff;
slash004, nabelo and other people from the ReiSwitched Discord and #switchdev for help and testing;
id Software for Doom;
mods/maps in screenshots: Alien Vendetta, abort_m, Hideous Destructor.

'Tis the season for emulator enhancement projects. First, we've seen bsnes adding a high-definition Mode 7 upscaling feature, then a widescreen Game Boy emulator got released, and now it looks like mGBA will be receiving something fancy too!
One of the planned features for its next release is a high-res OpenGL renderer, which will allow for a variety of graphical improvements. Like the previously mentioned bsnes-hd, you can expect games using a Mode 7-like perspective effect (for example, F-ZERO ones and Mario Kart: Super Circuit) to look less pixelated when scaled. However, this time it doesn't just end there: sprite rotations and transformations have also been enhanced, as well as other display modes and miscellaneous graphical features! This means a good number of games will look noticeably better, as seen in some screenshots posted by mGBA's developer (endrift). A video has also been uploaded, showing the feature in action while playing F-Zero Climax (13x scaling, 3120x2080):
The high-resolution renderer is not yet available in stable mGBA builds, however it can be found in development ones (PC only). It's completely optional and will not be enabled by default: you can do so by looking at the "Enhancements" section in the settings (remember to set the renderer to OpenGL!). Keep in mind that by using a development build, you could find unexpected issues and poor performance, so it's still recommended to wait until a new stable version will be released unless you really want to stay on the bleeding edge.

A short while ago, the Reicast folks teased their Dreamcast emulator on the Nintendo Switch and now, a release has unexpectedly descended upon us! In this article, we’ll be looking at the recently-released build of this 6th-generation console emulator for Horizon OS
Yesterday, Reicast Developer David G.F., released an alpha version of Reicast for the Switch in NRO format so that Dreamcast fans could enjoy their favourite games on Nintendo’s latest home console/portable. He went on to state that this version of Reicast was rushed to completion and as result, it has many issues although a proper release should be coming in the future. One of these major issues is that there’s no exception handling so texture invalidation isn’t working right now which may lead to some games having odd graphical issues.
On the bright side, this Reicast port has JIT (Just-In-Time compiler) support thanks to flyinghead which means that it performs quite well and some games can even run at twice the speed. This is pretty substantial considering that the Dreamcast is a console of the same generation as the PlayStation 2 and GameCube, consoles which were still pretty popular even up to half a decade ago.
Getting Reicast to work on your Switch is pretty simple and only requires you to:
- Install the NRO file provided in the link below
- Reicast needs a fair amount of memory (512MB+) so it’s not recommended you override the gallery/album application when launching it
- Create a directory named “reicast” on the root of your SD Card
- Copy the Dreamcast BIOS files (dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin) to /reicast/data on your SD card
- Copy any ROMs (i.e games) you want to run to the /reicast/ directory mentioned above
While there’s no official compatibility list, the following games run pretty well as per user reports in the release thread (below):
- Crazy Taxi
- Jet Set/Grind Radio
- Chu Chu Rocket (there are issues in the Settings menu but the game itself is fine)
- Metropolis Street Racer
- Sonic Adventure 1 till Windy Valley
- House of the Dead 2
- Shadowman (menu issues)
- Shenmue 1
- Spawn in Demon’s Hand
- Dead Or Alive 2
- Virtua Fighter 3
As stated above, an update will come in the near future so stay tuned for that if playing Dreamcast games on your Switch is something you’re into!

Wallpapers can sometimes be a bit boring. Even if you install several customisation tools, add many widgets to your desktop and put a thousand different images in your slideshow folder, there's always something that feels a bit dull and static. But what if you could say goodbye to all these silly animations, gadgets and skins and get a real dynamic wallpaper, one that would be fully interactive and could also respond to your inputs? How about something that gives you a challenge whenever you minimize a window instead of just letting you stare idly at your icons, links and taskbar? What if you could have... a completely functional Game Boy emulator as your wallpaper?
You've read that right, thanks to the developer rocksdanister and its newly released GBWallpaper tool, it is now a real possibility! The application is essentially a unity-gb emulator wrapper acting as a live wallpaper, which also includes many additional features and customisation options, such as different layouts and an audio visualizer. You can choose to either play the game yourself like you would on any regular emulator or record macros, essentially turning it into a nice animated backdrop. If you're worried about system resource utilisation then don't be, as the emulator will automatically stop when you run fullscreen apps and games.
However, there are a few limitations that need to be addressed. GBWallpaper is currently only officially compatible with Windows 10 and does not support multi-monitor setups; plus some actions, like temporarily switching focus to a window or running some applications, may make the input non-responsive. Finally, if you're a fan of Super Mario Land then you may be disappointed, as the game is currently incompatible with it.
If you're interested, you can find the ReadMe below (as well as a download link in the sources):
Quoted from From the ReadMe: About
Feeling bored with basic picture wallpapers? Want to play a quick game while all windows are minimzed? Well why not just run a full gameboy emulator as desktop wallpaper!
Don't want to play? then disable keyboard input & use Macro input, save sequence of moves & automatically play it back; Like an animated gif wallpaper.
Don't worry about performance overhead, it will pause when running fullscreen games or application.
Download
Latest version: v0.1 (Windows 10 Only)
Unzip the file, select Start.exe to get started.
Save files & settings are stored in \Saved Games\GBWallpaper.
Features
- Different layouts styles.
- Emulator will pause when running fullscreen application or games (~0% cpu & gpu usage).
- Sound & keyboard input will get disabled when not on desktop, game will continue to run.
- Audio Visualiser for running games.
- Runs at system startup (optional).
- Macro input, save sequence of moves & automatically play it back; Like an animated gif wallpaper.
- Keyboard input & audio can be disabled.
- Save works for supported games.
What is planned for future release
- Multimonitor system support.
- Currently using unity-gb emulator, might switch it with a better one.
- Better pause algorithm that works in various situations.
- More macro input options.
- Bug fixes.
Issues
- SUPER MARIOLAND crash in menuscreen.
- Keyboard input sustaining if you hold and change window focus.
- Currently disabled on multimonitors systems due to bugs/further testing required.
- Certain applications will interfere with window focus, will require user to click on desktop to give input.
FAQ
Who asked for this?
Saw the suggestion on discord chat, got intrigued; took me longer than expected to make. Is this useless? maybe. Did I waste my time? Possibly. It was a good learning experience & fun to make.
High system usage?
The default style of blurred background is a bit expensive if you don't have dedicated graphics, just use different layout style such as "Simple". Regardless, when fullscreen application or game run it will goto ~0% usage.
Not taking input?
Certain applications can interfere with focus, just click on desktop or taskbar to regain focus.
Where is the source code?
I will update it later after cleanup & final update.
