As the Nintendo Switch homebrew scene continues to develop at a rapid pace, one of the biggest feats has been the possibility of running Android OS on your Nintendo Switch console. Since the system runs on the Tegra X1 chipset, which coincidentally also powers the Nvidia Shield tablet, scene developers have decided to invest their time into getting a form of Android working on the Nintendo Switch. Back in June, we got our first major tease as to just what that would mean for the community, with amazing possibilities such as watching media apps not normally available on the Switch's OS, using it as a comic reader, playing mobile games and apps, getting solid performance in emulators like DraStic, or playing games through remote play.
According to the team behind the project, they're looking at hopefully releasing their first public beta within the next five days. So, as excitement and anticipation builds, make sure to go grab an extra micro SD card, as the installation will require you to dedicate the entire contents of the micro SD to the installation. You can be certain that the moment the release drops, an informative news post here will quickly follow. For now, let us know what feature you're most excited to test out by using Android on your Switch!

While the Nintendo Switch has more than outdone its predecessor, in terms of sales and popularity, the Wii U still lives on, as either an emulation box, or a console which to stream media from. Except, the latter of which is soon to take a hit, as Amazon is preparing to discontinue their Prime Video app on the console, according to emails that are being sent out to users. On September 26th, 2019, you'll no longer be able to watch Amazon video content on your Nintendo Wii U. Of course, Amazon, ever the entrepreneur, is offering a $25 credit towards buying a Fire TV Stick if you've used Prime Video on the Wii U recently, so you can keep watching your shows. Amazon Prime Video released on the Wii U's eShop the same year the system itself launched, back in 2012.

Nintendo is reportedly offering free repairs to Joy-Con controllers, following widespread complaints of "drift" in the Switch controllers.
According to an internal memo obtained by Vice Waypoint, customers will not be asked for "proof of purchase" or "warranty status" when asking for Joy-Con repairs, and those repairs will be made "at no charge."
Nintendo has also advised customer support staff to refund any confirmed prior repairs.
The document does outline a troubleshooting process that customer support must go through before offering free repairs, and it also features "stock answers" to two questions that Nintendo expects to be asked.
As Waypoint stated: "Whether it will be an issue with the upcoming Switch Lite hardware revision ('We expect our hardware to perform as designed.') and what to make of the class action lawsuit ('We have nothing to announce on this topic.')."
Nintendo is facing a class-action lawsuit over the defect with the Switch controllers, which is widely referred to as "drift." However, despite the content of the memo, the company does not directly refer to any fault with the hardware.

Nintendo DS emulation has been around for over a decade but there’s still interest in creating more emulators for the system that achieve better accuracy, performance and compatibility. One of the more recent emulators is Arisotura’s (Staple Butter) melonDS which has made great progress this year thanks to its OpenGL accelerated renderer.
melonDS has seen a significant amount of progress this year and perhaps, an Android port offering good performance might eventually surface!
Yesterday, its main developer shared some information on a pull request, by RSDuck, made on July 14th and the status of an upcoming melonDS 0.8.3 release. The pull request is related to the JIT recompiler (an x86-64 one to be more specific), a feature of the emulator which isn’t yet fully ready for use. Arisotura stated that when implemented, the JIT recompiler could give performance boosts of 30-100% which would greatly playbility in some games. Furthermore, RSDuck said that it shouldn’t be too difficult to port the JIT recompiler to ARM which might result in a nicely-performing Nintendo Switch port, more progress on the PSVita port and even an Android port!
On the other hand, work is still being done on melonDS 0.8.3 and it will be released once an issue with the audio output code is fixed. Furthermore, beta builds of the JIT and DSi branches of the emulator will be made available eventually so that’s something else to tinker around with!

In April, homebrew scene member m4xw released a port of PPSSPP to the Nintendo Switch, which required RetroArch to run. At the time, a standalone emulator version was teased, and now that day has come, as the first standalone beta release of PPSSPP for Switch is fully available to the public. Installation is simple, as all you have to do is place the downloaded folder on the root of your Switch's SD card. Full patch notes, instructions, and information can be found in the official release thread.
-Includes a GLES2 and GL version (use GLES2 for GTA's or other troubling games, otherwise GL version is always recommended as it's far more stable and bug free).
-JIT improvements (should now work on all Horizon version), masking is no longer required, thus JIT masking bugs are a thing of the past (will be backported to the libretro ver. this week).
-All config files reside in /switch/ppsspp/, the path can not be changed for the time being.
-You can copy your PPSSPP files from /retroarch/cores/savefiles/PPSSPP/ (savefiles are compatible, savestates are NOT, however I will add a export option to the Core soon-ish).

Joy-Con connectivity issues have plagued Nintendo Switch owners since the launch of the console, more than two years ago. Recently, Joy-Con drift has become a topic of interest once more, due to fans vocally expressing their disappointment. With no real solution in sight, it appears that a law firm is stepping in to see if they can make things happen. The law firm, called Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith LLP, is a three-decade old institution that focuses on class action lawsuits. According to CSK&D, they have begun an investigation into a possible class-action lawsuit against Nintendo for selling faulty Joy-Cons that have phantom input and interfere with gaming.
You can fill out the form in the link below to offer your personal experiences with your Joy-Cons to help give the firm more information to work with. If enough reports come in, then CSK&D will move forward with their lawsuit. Whether this will result in a solution or even make it to court is unclear, but the threat of legal action could perhaps spur Nintendo into coming up with a fix or revision for future Joy-con releases.

SaltyNX plugin that replaces games checks if you are using docked or handheld mode. They are mostly used to determine graphics settings and unlocking some options that are available only in docked/handheld mode.
For now in experimental phase, because it looks like SaltyNX is not in good terms with some games (they will crash without any plugin) or maybe I screwed up.
Tests were done on FW 7.0.1-8.1.0, Atmosphere 0.9.1-0.9.2
It should work with ReinX too.
SX OS is not supported.
_____________
Plugin works always globally. For now flag per titleid is not supported (this would need modifications in SaltyNX).
Flags: create in folder saltysd/plugins/ReverseNX/ empty file:
- docked.flag for docked mode
or
- handheld.flag for handheld mode
When both flags are there or none of them, plugin will ignore loading.
For docked flag is recommended to use OC settings exactly as used in docked mode:
Code:
handheld_charging_gpu=768
handheld_charging_mem=1600
______________
Known issues:
- Instability with some homebrews
- SaltyNX is still under development, so it may cause issues on it's own. Different versions of game can behave diversely.
- Some games may need reinstalling for this to work.
- EmuMMC freezes.
Confirmed games working or not
______________
Thanks to zakaria for testing.

Nintendo has revealed a new model of its Switch console is heading to Japan.
Rather than the rumoured Switch Pro, this is merely a modified version of the standard device which offers longer battery life.
According to a Switch comparison chart on Nintendo's Japanese website, the new model will last between 4.5 and nine hours, depending on the game you're playing. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, often used as the benchmark for Switch battery life, will drain the new model in 5.5 hours.
Kotaku notes that the launch version of the Switch had a battery lasting between 2.5 and 6.5 hours, with Zelda players given three hours before it's depleted.

Robz8 has posted a new video player for the Nintendo DS:
After 9 years (as of this post) since the latest version of MoonShell released, the SD-compatible alternative to MoonShell is finally here!
Introducing the Rocket Video Player! It's the video player that plays video files with an extension called ".rvid", bringing you the ultimate in picture quality, thanks to it's lossless frame data.
If the video is uncompressed, you may need a big enough SD card.
Features
The same, but improved Rocket Video technology from TWiLight Menu++!
Console-based file browser to search for your .rvid file.
The video UI from the "DSi + Internet" app.
Support for videos up to 60FPS! (25-60FPS video requires the DS Memory Expansion Pak, or a DSi or 3DS with the app on the SD card.)
.rvid size for those FPS is limited to 11MB (DSi) or 16MB (DSi) (not counting header and sound data, so if it has sound, it may still play).
Both progressive and interlaced video.
Audio up to 16khz. (If you we're expecting higher, sorry, it's the best the sound could get without slowing things down too much.)
Video UI Controls (touching works too!)
A: Play/Pause
B: Exit video
Left: Jump back to beginning

Badda has released a Commodore 64 emulator to the Nintendo 3DS:
This is a port of the VICE C64 emulator to 3DS.
VICE - the Versatile Commodore Emulator - http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/
@spinal_cord made a C64 emulator (Breadbox) based on Frodo but it does not work anymore with recent firmwares and he is not updating it anymore, so I gave it a shot to port the Vice C64 emulator v3.3 to the 3DS. Vice does support SDL1 but porting was not quite as easy as "just compile": A new sounddriver for the 3DS needed to be written, devkitpro libraries do not support all functionality required by full fledged Vice (so I had to strip them in quite some places) and lots of other things that needed tweaking or adaption.
The result is: Vice3DS
v1.3
enhancement: button to show/hide the keyboard, more soft buttons below keyboard
enhancement: pixel perfect screen representation (required change in libSDL, thanks to @Vague Rant)
enhancement: paint color keys on keyboard with palette colors
enhancement: added help menu
enhancement: remember current directory for file dialogs across restarts
enhancement: standard soft button icons are copied to SD-card at startup, they can now be modified/amended by the user
enhancement: added some more helper menu entries in menu "Misc"
enhancement: added some soft button icons
bugfix: no more freeze when exiting via home or power button
bugfix: roms added for all C64 machine types
bugfix: re-center display after machine type change
optimization: stripped some unnecessary code (vkbd, hvsc)
v1.2.1
fix random lock-ups (was actually a bug in libSDL)
fix for "not possible to select external palette files"
other minor bugfixes and optimizations
v1.2
fix for "crackling sound when using keyboard"
fix for "not possible to change back to stock rom from another rom"
fix for "menu entry 'Restore default settings' messes up screen"
added menu entry/icon 'Misc/Power off bottom screen backlight'
added two icons for sprite collision menu entries
added menu entry to restore all default settings (incl. hotkeys etc)
quicksave/-load now always saves to/loads from /3ds/vice3ds
added "RUN" to LOAD"*",8,1 menu entry
Added F2/F4/F6/F8 keys to keyboard for easy access
Added pause icon / ability to pause via soft button
Nice new banner / startup logo
v1.1
Customizeable soft buttons on bottom screen.
Changed standard assignment of autofire buttons: Joy1=R, Joy2=ZR
True drive emulation now turned off by default
Emu-speed adjustable with 3d slider (0=100%, max=Warp)
Added menu 'Misc' with some helpers: RUN/STOP + RESTORE; LOAD"*",8,1
Bugfix for loading external ROMs and other sysfiles

rsn8887 has posted a new version of the Amiga emulator for the Nintendo Switch:
Installation
Switch:
Download and unzip uae4all2_switch.zip
Copy the resulting folder uae4all2 to /switch/ onto your SDCard, ensure none of the "archive" flags is set.
You should now have the executable /switch/uae4all2/uae4all2.nro and a folder /switch/uae4all2/data/ with the keyboard icons and other data files on your SDCard.
Obtain and copy BIOS files kick13.rom (Amiga 500), and kick31.rom (Amiga 1200) to your SDCard into /switch/uae4all2/kickstarts/.
Optional: copy over additional BIOS files kick12.rom, kick20.rom, kickcustom.rom (for e.g. version 3.1.4 or any other user-supplied BIOS) to the same folder.
Use your favorite Homebrew Launcher or Homebrew Loader to start Uaeall2
MD5 of verified working kickstart rom files, you can test yours at onlinemd5:
kick12.rom (256 kB): (MD5) 85AD74194E87C08904327DE1A9443B7A
kick13.rom (256 kB): (MD5) 82A21C1890CAE844B3DF741F2762D48D
kick20.rom (512 kB): (MD5) FA4ACC75B49E880679FE02716AF24D71
kick31.rom (512 kB): (MD5) 646773759326FBAC3B2311FD8C8793EE
Other files might work, too.
You can purchase legal bios roms from Amiga Forever. They work. But since they are encrypted, you have to copy over your .key file along with the roms.
1.96
increase maximum displayed lines from 270 to 286, useful for overscan games like Babeanoid
fix cia overlay in AGA mode, fixes Reshoot-R hang at title screen

Display a simple error dialog for failed file system functions. (an error code as well as the function that failed would be displayed).
Fixed use of blend mode under SDL2 which caused transparency issues in some cases.
If you'd like to support me, then feel free to buy me a coffee, I'd really appreciate it! https://www.paypal.me/Joel16IA
