Hey family, here today with a hack of the old-Gameboy RPG “Final Fantasy Legend II”. This was one of the first games that got many seasoned gamers into role playing games. This hack makes it safer to level up party members at the beginning of the game and also buffs guest party members. Treasure chest have been update to give enough money and items to better tackle the game’s bosses. Most enemies have been adjusted to allow the monster-class to evolve into interesting party members. Take your time or try for a personal best time…you are free to enjoy this project at your leisure !

Ladies and gentleman, start your updaters! The Cemu developers have just released a new public version of their popular Wii U emulator: 1.15.13b. While the Vulkan renderer may have not been included in this build yet, as it's still in a promising but WIP state in the Patreon-exclusive 1.16.0, the team has fixed a couple of bugs related to the GamePad view: its resolution is now set correctly when launched before a game is running and the mouse cursor no longer gets hidden while interacting with its window in fullscreen mode. Speaking of fixes, some crashes have also been resolved, specifically with a few homebrew apps and the games FullBlast and Adventures of Pip (including other Unity ones, potentially). If you're enjoying the Screenshot function, keep in mind this version changes its hotkey from Print Screen to F12!
However, 1.15.13b also drops support for older graphic packs - in particular, the ones using the version 1 format (first introduced in Cemu 1.7.0). Version 2 and 3 packs will still continue to work. If you have any custom ones installed, be sure to double-check whichever you're using before updating!
Official changelog
# Cemu detailed changelog for 1.15.13b
# Patreon release date: 2019-08-23
# Public release date: 2019-08-30
# New in 1.15.13b:
general: Language files updated
# New in 1.15.13:
general: Fixed GamePad view using the wrong resolution when opened before a game is launched
general: Fixed mouse cursor disappearing when interacting only with the GamePad window in fullscreen (#172)
general: Dropped support for legacy v1 graphic packs

Amazon's biggest selling games product from the video games category in August was a Switch screen protector.
That's according to research by analysts at Thinknum, who tracked the sales ranking for each item that held onto a place in the Amazon best-sellers list every day of the last month.
Looking specifically at the video games category, the company found that of the top 20 products that achieved this, only ten were actually video games. A further six were controllers and other accessories, while four were digital codes for memberships to Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus or store currency.
And Nintendo dominated the month.
The biggest selling product of the month, with an average ranking of 5.7 in the best-sellers list, was the amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch (pack of two).
This was one of three Switch accessories in the Top 20, alongside the official Pro controller and a portable carry case.

The Constellation Nerdulus is the American English translation of Otaku no Seiza, a turn-based Japanese RPG for the Famicom.
The patch is available to download now.
The plot involves a matriarchal society in which men are mocked as nerds and women reign supreme. The protagonist sets out to prove that he’s a real man and put the women of the world in their place by courting the Goddess herself… if the roaving fiends and the powerful Daughters of Aurora don’t stop him first.
The hacking was done by Pennywise of Stardust Crusaders Translations, the script was translated by Tom, and the title screen was created by Flash PV.

Nintendo has teased a new peripheral for its Switch console, which seems to amplify and extend its motion control functions.
Yesterday, Nintendo released a video that shows the new controller in action. The peripheral is split into two parts: a wheel and a strap, each of which can house a Joy-Con controller.
The video depicts people in various countries using the controllers, with the wheel gripped in the hands and the strap attached to the thigh. Many of these activities involve physical exercise: running, stretching, aerobics, and adopting yoga-like positions.

Polinym of the Woolsey Fan Company (W.F.C.) has released a special translation of the Famicom game, Idol Hakkenden, which localizes the game as if it were released during the original NES era. The W.F.C. took care to ensure that all names, places, terms, and culture in Japanese was localized to things the general American audience with little to no Japanese knowledge could appreciate.
“Idol Hakkenden”, or Pop Star Debut as the W.F.C. has named it, is a Japanese text adventure about young Sabrina Seltzer who dreams of becoming a star. While on the surface it appears to be a “kiddie” game, several twists in the plot take the story in some shocking directions. Sabrina’s quest for stardom is threatened by an entertainment overlord with ambitions for world domination.
Pop Star Debut marks the W.F.C.’s first translation project. Polinym, currently the company’s only member, knew literally nothing of this game prior to translating it. He refused to look up any information about it unless absolutely necessary. This ensures that the game is more authentic as an American release, and not based on any other forms of translation.
The W.F.C. offers a truly unique experience for players. The game’s text was written not just to be a mere translation of the original, but enjoyable writing that would’ve appeared had the game been an American product.

melonDS is a Nintendo DS emulator by Arisotura which aims to provide a high degree of accuracy while still keeping performance in mind.
melonDS 0.8.3 comes with a solution for a couple of annoying outstanding issues such as audio stutters!
This year, the emulator has seen a great deal of progress including the addition of an OpenGL accelerated renderer and imminent JIT/DSi builds which will continue to increase the emulator’s versatility.
Now, melonDS 0.8.3 has been released which comes with the following:
- An issue relating to Ctrl+K hotkeys was fixed so now you can map ‘special’ keys like Shift and Ctrl to buttons again
- As a solution to audio and frame limiter issues, three different syncing solution have been introduced namely:
- Limit framerate – the oldschool way of doing things but it’s a tad different from previous implementations as it tries to find an average framerate over several frames so as not to limit games that run at 30FPS internally too aggressively
- Audio sync – Use this if you want 0 audio stuttering at the cost of a less stable framerate
- VSync – synchronises the emulator’s framerate with that of your monitor (typically 60/75/120/144FPS) but may not work properly with games that alter their framerate by modifying VCount. Only works on the OpenGL renderer when running on Windows
- OpenGL initialisation no longer fails on OpenGL 4.1 or earlier (melonDS’ renderer requires OpenGL 3.1)
 melonDS isn’t only interesting for PC users but also for console users since a functional port for the Nintendo Switch already exists and a limited scope PSVita port may be possible in the future!
- Audio output is now done at a standard 48000Hz frequency instead of 47430Hz to improve compatibility with poorly written audio drivers
- Some accuracy improvements and minor fixed as per the commit history on GitHub
Furthermore, beta builds of JIT-enabled and DSi-compatible version of the emulators will be coming but these are based on melonDS 0.8.2 and melonDS 0.8.1 respectively for the time being.
To grab melonDS for your PC and emulate the DS to your heart’s content, check out this link.

Nintendo is using its legal muscle to take ROM sites down, apparently one at a time if it has to. As reported by Polygon, the Switch maker yesterday filed suit against the people behind RomUniverse, a site prominently offering ROMs and ISOs of games for dozens of current and older game systems, including the Switch and 3DS.
The suit alleges that in addition to violating Nintendo's trademark and copyrights, the site has for the last decade been profiting off the distribution of unauthorized copies of games by selling a premium membership that allowed users to download larger numbers of ROMs at higher speeds.

Nintendo continues to use the courts in its efforts to crack down on people selling circumvention devices for its systems. Sir Richard Arnold today ruled in the Switch maker's favor in a High Court of Justice case, granting an injunction requiring the UK's five main internet service providers to block their customers' access to four websites offering "SX Pro" hardware and software to jailbreak the Switch.
"The injunction sought is necessary to prevent, or at least reduce, substantial damage to NCL [Nintendo Co., Ltd.]," Arnold ruled. "It appears that substantial sales of the circumvention devices have been made in the UK, that substantial quantities of pirated games have been downloaded in the UK and installed on Nintendo Switches using the circumvention devices and that NCL has sustained significant losses as a result."
Justice Arnold noted that Nintendo has been unable to identify the people running the websites, and cease and desist orders have either been ignored or prompted the sites to change their URLs. Take-down requests sent to the sites' hosting providers were likewise ignored, and while YouTube, Amazon, and ebay have squashed listings regarding these sites and devices upon request, they aren't stopping them from being replaced.

Get ready for stability, as it's time for a new Nintendo Switch system software update. This software version, puts the Switch at v9.0.0, and brings in some new additions that aren't just the average stability, such as a search feature for the news channel, ability to set alarms which will come with supported software later down the line, along with a Joy-Con firmware update, an "invite to online play" function, being able to turn off system button input for the Switch Lite, and being able to edit the touch screen's sensitivity. This system version also fixes a problem with crashing that Fire Emblem: Three House's expansion pass had. The full patch notes are below.
Ver. 9.0.0 (Released September 9, 2019)
Added the following system functionality:
- Added a search feature for the News Channel.
- Channels can be searched using filters or free text.
- Added “Display QR Code to Check In” to User Settings.
- You can display a QR Code on-screen to check in using your Nintendo Account.
- Alarm Notifications have been added to System Settings > Notifications.
- You can check or delete pre-set alarms.
- Alarms can be set up only within supported software (to be added at a later time).
- A controller firmware update may be required to use this feature.
- You can now configure touch screen sensitivity settings.
- Select between Standard and Stylus sensitivity (optimized for stylus input).
- Added the option to turn on/off the system button input (Nintendo Switch Lite only).
- When this setting is turned off the system no longer receives input from the console buttons, with the exception of the Capture and HOME Buttons, and can only be operated from a wirelessly paired controller (sold separately).
- This setting is on by default and can only be turned off if a compatible controller (sold separately) is wirelessly paired to the console.
- The setting will automatically turn back on when the console is restarted or after returning from sleep mode.
- Added “Online Play Invites” section to the User's page.
- Invites from friends to join online play in supported software will be displayed in this section.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
- Resolved an issue where some users can’t start the Fire Emblem: Three Houses game, and get an error instead.

The Nintendo Direct wasn’t all that Nintendo had to show this week, as a surprise trailer has gone up on their channel, showing off something unexpected. A belt-like object is featured in the video, being used in a variety of ways, such as a bow, a steering wheel, and on one’s leg as a fitness tracker. The product seems to have a focus on multiplayer gatherings and parties, with players needing one of the belt-like devices and a Joy-Con strapped in to make use of it. More information and details are scheduled to be revealed on September 12th.

Rollie is a brand new side-scrolling platformer NES game by Optovania and has 16 huge stages of gameplay. Power-ups and secrets can be found scattered throughout the levels and checkpoints exist along the way. Each stage ends in a boss battle.
Rollie and Lorrie are on a mission to save their forest, Paradise Gorge. Their goal is to defeat the brats and bullies who have seized power in the midst of an unstable ecosystem precipitated by a sudden overpopulation of snakes. They aim to lead as examples, to show how sharing and sacrifice are rewarding, and that rampant self-serving brutality perpetuates destruction.

Following a tease during last week's Nintendo Direct, the platform holder has unveiled the Switch's answer to Wii Fit.
Ring Fit Adventure is, as the title suggests, an adventure game in which players explore a fantasy world and battle enemies. The difference here is it requires them to physically move.
The game comes with the new Ring-Con accessory and an accompanying leg strap, which each house one of the Switch's detachable Joy-Cons. The Ring-Con is flexible and contains electronic sensors to detect both player movement and the shapes it's being built into.
The main adventure mode gets players active, while combat disguises exercises such as squats and stretches as offensive and defensive moves.

And they said it couldn't be done. Almost seven years after its release, @Fullmetal5 (the same developer behind str2hax and flashhax) has finally managed to find an exploit compatible with Nintendo's so-called "unhackable" Wii Mini and crack it wide open! Instead of using internet browsers or loading code from the SD card slot, both of which are (in)famously absent from the Mini, this new approach takes advantage of a vulnerability found in Broadcom's Bluetooth driver to gain arbitrary code execution and run a payload from the included USB port. This finally lets homebrew enthusiasts have fun with the console, and may also open the door to online play as well with the help of hacks and a LAN adapter!
While the exploit is making good progress, having already reached 90% completion for the Bluetooth stager and also being consistent enough to be called usable, there's still a lot of work to be done before a public release is available. There's also the possibility of HackMii Installer being incompatible with the Mini's version of IOS, in which case further new exploits will need to be found in order to make it work. You can get an idea about the state of the project in the roadmap below, which was written and shared by the dev itself:
Quoted from Roadmap written by @Fullmetal5 (from the Discord server): Just to give a small roadmap: (So that people can get an idea as to what needs to be done now)
1. Write a bluetooth stager to upload payloads (%50 complete) (Note: this was stated to have reached 90% in later posts)
2. Write something to load larger payloads from usb.
3. See if the HackMii Installer's exploits work against the versions of IOS that are there (If they are similar to the Wii U's then it may already have exploits but it's possible they are different)
4. If the HackMii Installer's exploits don't work then I will need to write my own. (Shouldn't be too bad, IOS is known to be buggy. Also I'll probably do this step anyway for the fun of it.)
Click to expand...
The exploit doesn't have an official name yet, but it's currently being referred to as "bluehax". Right now it's being tested on some specific games, however, there's a real possibility it will work out of the box with the Wii's System Menu alone due to its nature, thus removing the need of a dedicated game. It only takes a computer with a Bluetooth interface to make it work: there's no definitive usage guide just yet, but it should be as easy as running a program on your PC, hitting the SYNC button on the console, et voila - you're good to go! There is a small catch, however: development is targeting just Linux and no Windows version is planned. If you can get behind that, you'll soon be able to enjoy that sweet, sweet homebrew on the tiniest Wii Nintendo has ever made!

It's less than three years since Super Mario Run heralded Mario's smartphone debut. Yet despite much fanfare at launch, largely positive reviews and revenues pushing the $100m mark, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima felt the plumber's performance "did not meet our expectations".
Given the huge affection that gamers have for Nintendo's most-prized IP, Mario's journey from console to smartphone was always likely to ruffle some feathers amongst his most ardent fans.
Next month, Mario returns to mobile with the much anticipated launch of Mario Kart Tour. As one of the best-selling game franchises in history, Nintendo's investors will be hoping that mobile kart racer delivers on the revenue promises that its predecessor could not. While Mario's loyal fanbase will be expecting a player experience on a par with the console version.
With a handful of mobile games now under its belt, what game design and monetisation lessons can Nintendo learn from its existing smartphone portfolio to ensure that Mario Kart Tour crosses the line in winning style?
[h=2]Back to the free-to-start[/h]To answer this, we need to go back to the start. Or the free-to-start, to be specific, which was the unconventional monetisation mechanic that split player opinion. Asking players to cough-up £10 to unlock the rest of the game after only playing a few free levels, was the nail in the coffin that ultimately led to Super Mario Run becoming a revenue reject for Nintendo.
Next came Fire Emblem Heroes in 2017. Minus the harsh free-to-start paywall mechanic. In fact, none of Nintendo's subsequent mobile releases featured the paywall, despite still referring to the games as free-to-start in the marketing materials. A tacit recognition of the mechanics failure? Maybe.
Despite being Nintendo's most successful mobile release to date, generating nearly $300 Million in revenue in the first year (ten times more than Super Mario Run), Fire Emblem Heroes has issues. Lots of issues.
For a start, the game is clearly not optimised for players in the West, evidenced by the fact that only 28% of game's first year revenues were generated in the US.
It feels like the game is set up for a core audience, meaning that players new to the franchise or genre will find the going tough. Players are left to discover the various screens by themselves and are not properly exposed to key areas of the game. This lack of optimisation must have had a significant impact on the early retention of casual/mid-core players.
The game is bursting with content and features an endless amount of options for players to spend money on. However, its poor on-boarding and overwhelming UI design have limited its potential to be a dominant top-grossing/chart-topping game.

September 16th, 2019, 21:10 Posted By: wraggster
It's here! @SciresM and the rest of his team have just released a new version of Atmosphère, their popular free and open-source Switch CFW.
Version 0.9.4's main highlight is full OFW 9.0.0 support, both for SysMMC and EmuMMC. However, if you plan on updating, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First off, Nintendo's latest firmware changed how HID works, which breaks libnx button input detection. This has been addressed in newer versions of the library, but will require homebrew to be recompiled in order for it to be fixed properly. As such, a temporary measure has been put in place to make old homebrew detect input properly while developers recompile their apps, but this will be removed in later releases as it could introduce further issues with HID MITM. Be sure to update everything you use when new versions pop up!
Secondly, the game card ASIC has also been updated in 9.0.0, which will cause the GC slot to stop working if you downgrade or run an earlier firmware in EmuMMC until you update. To prevent this, Atmosphère will now apply the nogc patch automatically if you boot into 9.0.0 on consoles with a lower fuse count. You can force disable this if you wish by setting nogc = 0 in BCT.ini.
Finally, USB cannot be IPS patched or MITM'd correctly due to some initialization changes, but a solution is currently being looked into.
There are also some general fixes and improvements, including correct BIS key generation for newer unpatched units and hbl 2.2 + hbmenu 3.1.1. You can read the full changelog below:
Quoted from Changelog (Atmosphère v0.9.4): 0.9.4 is Atmosphère's twenty-second official release.
fusee-primary was last updated in: 0.9.3.
With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 0.9.4 is bundled with hbl 2.2, and hbmenu 3.1.1.
The following was changed since the last release:
- Support was added for 9.0.0.
- Please note: 9.0.0 made a number of changes that may cause some issues with homebrew. Details:
- 9.0.0 changed HID in a way that causes libnx to be unable to detect button input.
- Homebrew should be recompiled with newest libnx to fix this.
- Atmosphere now provides a temporary hid-mitm that will cause homebrew to continue to work as expected.
- This mitm will be removed in a future Atmosphere revision once homebrew has been updated, to allow users to use a custom hid mitm again if they desire.
- 9.0.0 introduced an dependency in FS on the USB system module in order to launch the SD card.
- This means the USB system module must now be launched before the SD card is initialized.
- Correspondingly, the USB system module can no longer be IPS patched, and its settings cannot be reliably mitm'd.
- We know this is frustrating, so we'll be looking into whether there is some way of addressing this in the future.
- Please note: 9.0.0 updated the switch's gamecart controller ("lotus") firmware.
- To prevent the burning of lotus fuses, Atmosphere now applies nogc patches when booting into 9.0.0 with fuses below 9.0.0.
- If you wish to play gamecarts on 9.0.0 (but forever prevent yourself from playing them on < 9.0.0), set nogc = 0 in BCT.ini.
- An off-by-one error was fixed in boot system module's pinmux initialization.
- This could theoretically have caused issues with HdmiCec communication.
- No users reported issues, so it's unclear if this was a problem in practice.
- A bug was fixed that could cause webapplet launching homebrew to improperly set the accessible url whitelist.
- BIS key generation has been fixed for newer hardware.
- Newer hardware uses new, per-firmware device key to generate BIS keys instead of the first device key, so previously the wrong keys were generated as backup.
- This only affects units manufactured after ~5.0.0.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

's Hekate mod has also been updated, and full 9.0.0 support here is just the beginning! Version 5.0.2 adds a forced autoboot via ID key option, which will prove particularly useful with Android and Linux distros - and staying on topic, CPU/GPU warmboot reboot has been fixed for said OSes as well. A bug that made SaltyNX hang under 8.X.X EmuMMC has also been fixed, so apps and mods that depend on it (such as ReverseNX) will now work properly again. The nogc patch will be applied automatically when running pre-9.0.0 firmware in EmuMMC on a console with a higher fuse count: this is different than the previously described Atmosphère autonogc feature as this is an error prevention measure, while AMS' own tries to avoid game card slot ASIC updates.
Hekate Nyx has also some new goodies, such as archive bit support for EmuMMC folders and proper AutoRCM detection after restoring an eMMC backup. The version included in this release is 0.8.2.
Several other bugs and smaller issues have been fixed, all of which are listed in the changelog below:
Quoted from Changelog (Hekate CTCaer v5.0.2 & Nyx v0.8.2): This version supports booting ALL current OS/CS CFW, Linux chainloading and payload tools.
No more SD card removals
Latest HOS supported: 9.0.0
New in this version
- Full support for 9.0.0
- Fixed SaltyNX for emuMMC 8.x.x
There was an issue with fs mitm patches where it caused hangs for SaltyNX.
- Add support for forced AutoBoot via id key - Android reboot
You can now add id=max7char to your boot entries and hekate can be instructed to autoboot via only this.
This will be helpfull especially with many Linux distros and Android (id=SWRANDR).
- AutoNOGC protection for fatal errors in emuMMC
NOGC will now be applied automatically when fuses are >= 9.0.0 and emuMMC is less than that.
- Streamline power cycles for Sandisk U1 SDR104
No more hangs because of this.
- Fix CPU/GPU on warmboot reboot from Linux/Android
- Allow critical info to be shown when a fatal error occurs while AutoBooting HOS
Now, before booting Nyx right away, it will show the error message and wait for a button press.
- Add exosphere/kernel no user exceptions handler cfg
- And many other bugfixes
New in emuMMC
The binary is based on m4xw/emuMMC@4b5d9ae
Nyx v0.8.2
- 9.0.0 support for info and tools
- Fix AutoBoot list for inis (More configs)
You can now select a cfg from ini folder for autobooting
- Update AutoRCM status when a eMMC restore occurs
- Add Fix Archive bit support for emuMMC folders
- Fix eMMC split restore when < 10 parts
(FYI nyx supports splits that are 4MB aligned. Only last part is allowed to be unaligned.)
- Do not hide delay time option (for bootlogo) when AutoBoot is off
- And many other bugfixes
Check readme.md for more.
NOTE: You will need sept and a custom secmon and warmboot binary to boot 7.0.0-9.0.0 or stock emuMMC.
Click to expand...
If you are a homebrew developer and wish to fix the broken button input issue found in 9.0.0, you can use dkp-pacman to update libnx to its latest version.
UPDATE: A bug affecting games with vibration support has been found and a hotfix has been released. Please redownload Atmosphère if this affects you.

Your regularly scheduled Cemu update is here, and right on time too! Version 1.15.14 of the popular Wii U emulator is focused primarily on resolving bugs and crashes rather than adding new features or increasing in-game performance. For starters, some miscellaneous improvements were made to the Wii U message box system (ErrEula) and software keyboard implementations, both of which now also support controller input. A few GX2 emulation-related crashes and issues were fixed, which mainly affected games such as Fast Racing Neo and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Last but not least, a regression in Cemu's ELF loader which caused homebrew applications to instantly crash on boot has also been addressed.
Here is the official changelog:
Quoted from Official changelog: # Cemu detailed changelog for 1.15.14
# Patreon release date: 2019-09-06
# Public release date: 2019-09-13
general: ErrEula (Wii U message box system) is now rendered as part of the TV output
general: Added an actual software keyboard to the software keyboard input form
general: Both ErrEula and the software keyboard now support controller input
general: Fixed ELF loader regression (#185)
GX2: Fixed streamout in combination with geometry shaders (#182)
GX2: Fixed uniform cache crash bug (#186)
GX2: Output point size in geometry shader only if output primitive is points
Note:
(#xx) refers to bug tracker issues resolved by this change. See http://bugs.cemu.info/projects/cemu/

Nintendo's newest Zelda title isn't terribly new at all, as The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Switch is a remake of the 1993 Game Boy title. While reviewers of the new remake have differing degrees of familiarity with the original release, they are overwhelmingly in agreement that it is an enjoyable and charming game.
GameSpot's Peter Brown said "the renewed presentation is easily the star of the show" in his 8 out of 10 review for GameSpot, praising the visual overhaul that gives all the game's denizens a glossy, rounded look.

On September 17th, 2019 Filler, MrRichard999, Proveaux, Dr.Floppy, and Cccmar released an English language translation patch for Gunhed: The New Battle (a.k.a. Gunhed: Aratanaru Tatakai ガンヘッド 新たなる戦い) a game originally released for the Nintendo Famicom in 1990.
Gunhed: The New Battle is a strategy game based on the manga by Kia Asamiya and the live-action film of the same name. The game is set on an island which has been taken over by a fully autonomous super-computer called “Kyron”. Lured by the prospect of an energy resource located on the island you race against competing forces to defeat the computer and secure this “super-energy”.
A previous war zone, the island is littered with the wreckage of past battles. You’re able to search the island for parts to upgrade your forces, and usable items which can give you an advantage. According to the readme you “assemble about 30 mechs in order to be able to assault Kyron’s hideout” once you have a mech of a high enough level.
The patch translates the game into English and is fully playable. Further details are available in the readme.

MegaZeux (or MZX) is a game creation system (GCS) initially released in late 1994 by Alexis Janson. MegaZeux is heavily inspired by Tim Sweeney's ZZT. Like ZZT, MZX was originally released as shareware and the world editor portion of the program was included for free, allowing third parties to create their own worlds without even registering.
MZX is officially supported on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android, Nintendo DS, 3DS, Wii, Switch, and the PSP. Older ports exist for AmigaOS 4, GP2X, and Pandora. MZX has also been ported to other platforms such as OpenSolaris, HaikuOS, and the Sega Dreamcast.

As its name suggests, Atmosphere Updater is a homebrew utility by ‘TotalJustice’ that allows you to update Atmosphere and now Hekate directly from your hacked Nintendo Switch meaning that you needn’t have access to a PC in order to get the latest release of the CFW up and running.
Who needs a PC to update Atmosphere when you can do it on-device?
(Image Source)
Furthermore, it doesn’t mess with existing configuration files unlike Kosmos which has earned it good reputation in the Switch community. Over the past few days, it received two updates with the latest version being 0.4.1 and these brought about:
- Support for updating Hekate (0.4)
- When updating Hekate, an option to overwrite Atmosphere’s INI files has been added (0.4.1)
- The hekate payload is now copied to “/bootloader/update.bin” for better compatibility with modchips and RCM injectors (0.4.1)
- fusee-primary.bin is copied to “/bootloader/payloads” when selecting to update both Hekate and Atmosphere (0.4.1)
- A better looking UI and Switch font buttons are loaded from memory (0.4 & 0.4.1)
- Code cleanups and error messages for when things go wrong (0.4 with further improvements in 0.4.1)
To grab Atmosphere Updater 0.4.1, check out this link and download the NRO file to install on your Switch. TotalJustice can be donated to on Patreon
Finally, 4 new 60FPS mods for commercial Switch games have been released during this week thanks to work by Kirby567fan and Masagrator. The titles that received 60FPS mods include:

Nintendo is receiving all manner of compliments for its latest hardware, but special praise must be reserved for its name -- a near perfect paradox. The Switch Lite is, after all, light on pretty much everything that gave the original Switch its name.
No Joy-Cons for out-of-the-box multiplayer, no kickstand to turn the diminutive screen into something around which friends can gather, and, crucially, no option to hook connect the hardware to a television and move the experience from your hands into the front room. The Switch Lite may be priced at $200 rather than $300, but it loses a lot in the name of reducing costs.
This is the underlying argument in Kotaku's review, in which Mike Fahey simultaneously lamented what is missing from the Switch Lite while also proclaiming it "one of the finest handheld gaming devices I've ever used." Fahey is not alone in praising the Switch Lite in those terms, but few critics articulate its shortcomings so clearly."'Switch Lacking' would be more accurate, if far less marketable"
Kotaku
"It still supports near-field communication for Amiibo support, and has a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope for motion control, so not all of the Switch's extra features have been stripped away. But most of them have," Fahey wrote. "As has been pointed out time and time again since the hardware was announced in July, there's not much 'Switch' in the Switch Lite. 'Switch Lacking' would be more accurate, if far less marketable.
"If my only desire was to play Switch games in handheld mode, I would choose the Switch Lite over the regular Switch, hands down... But the original does a whole lot of cool stuff the Switch Lite does not do -- stuff I've grown used to, and now feel awkward going without. Removing Joy-Cons to play multiplayer games is a Switch feature I hardly ever use, but when I have, it's led to some pretty magical moments. My gaming is normally a personal thing, but the ability to make it social with the click of my Switch means it doesn't have to be."

A full English translation patch for the Nintendo DS game Chou Soujuu Mecha MG (Super Control Mecha MG) has been released!
In a world where giant robots known as Marionation Gear, or “Puppets”, are artisanally handcrafted in workshops, a certain boy serves as an apprentice at the Galouye Workshop, dreaming of becoming a “Puppeteer” (mecha pilot) and opening his own workshop with fellow apprentice Kay. But their peaceful daily life is shattered when the autonomous Puppets known as the Automen begin going on berserk rampages around the world. Together with new apprentice Anne-Marie, the hero and Kay are pulled into a conflict that could change the course of Puppet history…
Chou Soujuu Mecha MG is a 2006 mecha action game developed by Sandlot, the studio behind the Earth Defense Force series, and published by Nintendo. It combines the developer’s aptitude for larger-than-life spectacle with one of the most innovative and fun uses of the touch screen in the DS library: in addition to standard movement with the D-Pad, each of the game’s 100+ playable mecha has its own unique “cockpit” controlled with the touch screen. Players can pull levers to swing their robot’s arms and hurl buildings at the enemy, flip a switch to transform into a car, punch in launch codes to fire missiles, and countless other imaginative setups. With well over 100 missions, ranging from battle to racing to destroying burger joints, every mecha has a use.
Footage of the translation in action can be viewed .
In addition to the patch, the game’s translator has scanslated several chapters of its tie-in manga adaptation, which can be viewed on the patch’s release website here.
This patch was the work of Supper (hacking), Phantom (translation and additional art), and cccmar (testing and editing). The authors hope you’ll enjoy this revival of one of the DS’s best-kept secrets.

The Nintendo Switch has been a success in many ways, but where most can agree that the console has fallen short, is in regards to the Joy-Cons; ever since the launch of the Switch, Joy-Con drift has become a rampant issue. Such problems were assumed to be done away with the Switch Lite, the smaller, more portable oriented variation of the Switch, which lacked the detachable Joy-Cons. However, once a teardown of the new hardware had taken place, it was revealed that the joysticks used within the Switch Lite were almost identical to the problematic ones from the drift-ridden Joy-Cons, meaning that it was entirely possible for users to still experience drift.
Such a problem could be much worse for the Lite revision, as the control sticks are connected to the entire system, and cannot be removed and replaced as easily as they can be with the original Switch. In a video posted by Alexis Javier, he shows off his brand new Switch Lite playing Breath of the Wild, and you can quickly notice that input is being registered on the right joystick, despite the user not pressing any buttons. Now, the video in question could just stem from an unlikely rare, faulty unit. Or, it could have been done in order to raise outrage during the launch week of the Switch Lite. As of the time of writing, this video appears to be the only popular source showing off possible drift with the console, but only time will tell if drift will begin to impact owners of the Switch Lite.

Nintendo Switch Lite has sold around 13,500 units during its first week on sale in the UK, retailers have told GamesIndustry.biz.
It's a relatively slow start for the new portable-only Switch, although the console is targeting a more casual user and was not expected to deliver huge week one numbers. By comparison, the 2DS -- a similar stripped back Nintendo handheld released in October 2013 -- sold 200,000 units in just under two months (IHS data), but its sales didn't pick up until the October half-term holiday.
Retailers speaking to GamesIndustry.biz said it was far too early to draw any conclusions. One senior buyer told us: "Switch Lite was always going to come into its own come Pokémon. It's ideal as a Christmas present, and we expect sales to ratchet up during November and December. Pre-orders for the special Pokémon Switch Lite have been strong."
Another retail executive added: "Launch week really isn't the point of Switch Lite."

The Nintendo Switch Lite has sold over 160,000 units during its first week of sales in Japan.
Additionally, sales of the original Nintendo Switch were up to 64,000 compared to 52,000 the week prior.
The figures come from Media Create (via Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad), and were originally reported as 114,000.
However, these figures fall well below the 300,000 forecast by Citibank, and Nintendo stock has fallen to its lowest point in eight months, down 4.37%.

Over the past couple of decades we've become very accustomed to the notion of consoles getting their hardware redesigned mid-lifespan -- so much so that it's now almost taken for granted that these milestones will punctuate the life of any moderately successful piece of hardware.
The earliest example that really stuck in people's minds is probably Sony's "PSone", a diminutive re-imagining of the groundbreaking PlayStation that came late in that device's life. But both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation S3 benefited hugely from being slimmed down in their mid-life (honestly, who among us wouldn't?), and the Xbox 360's coveted Elite redesign helped to establish the design language for Xbox that persists to this day.
Microsoft and Sony seem to have this down pat, in other words. Nintendo's track record is more... patchy. The Wii Mini, launched back in 2012, is largely a footnote in gaming history; the industrial design was lovely, but the system hacked out vast amounts of the Wii's functionality and came far too late in its lifespan to really make a mark, despite an incredibly ambitious $100 price that was designed to open up the console to an even broader demographic.
