Just seen this post and im well impressed, heres the first part and a video:
For a while now it's been possible to play Gamecube games directly with the Wii U gamepad as a controller. Not only this, you can also play PS1 and N64 games from the gamepad as well! This essentially makes it into a portable experience, well if you're close enough to the console that is. For those who love playing things off-TV, this is a really amazing feature to utilize. You could also play from a TV with the gamepad as a controller if you prefer.
It's now possible to force vWii to use Wii U CPU speeds to get a performance boost on PS1 and N64 emulators! PS1 games are now playable at fullspeed, well at least mainstream games are but not everything works.
Use Section I for Gamecube games, if that doesn't work then you'll need to use Section III instead.
This guide assumes that you have a basic understanding of Wii U hacks. Such as booting into Homebrew Launcher, running CFW, installing with Wup Installer GX2, how to use Nintendont, etc.

Its time for Nintendo DS to get a new emulator version release, heres whats new in the latest release of Melon DS:
melonDS is an open source Nintendo DS(NDS) emulator. melonDS is part of a second wave of DS emulators.
melonDS v0.6 Changelog:
|
So what's new in melonDS 0.6? Little emulation wise, a bit more UI wise.
First of all, I want to thank the artists who have been (and are still) drawing all sorts of rad icons for melonDS. For 0.7, I will pick the one I like the best (and it won't be easy, heh). Thing is, I want to put the icon in the melonDS windows, and I will need to add support to libui. Which also means embedding the icons in some portable format, because each OS does its own thing when it comes to window icons.
Emulation wise, the big thing is the sound fix I talked about in a previous blog post. I already went in detail over this, but, long story short, surround works now. And sound emulation is more accurate, that can only be good.
There. The rest is meaningless shenanigans.
UI wise, you get fancy display modes now. Those were also discussed in a previous blog post, so no big surprise there.
The only thing that was added is a toggle for linear filtering, for those who like pixels.
The rest is, well, little bug fixes. Under Windows, you can now load ROMs with non-ASCII characters in their paths. As a side note, under Linux and OSX, fopen() can take UTF8 paths, but Windows requires a separate codepath because herpderp. fopen() can only take ASCII, for anything outside of that you need to use the Windows-only _wfopen() which takes wide-char strings. In the end, the code is a bit ugly, but it works.
That's about it for this release. But stay tuned, 0.7 should bring in some Christmas fun. |
Windows, and Linux

Heres basically an unofficial version of the Nintendo WiiU Emulator for Windows:
Cemu Hook v0.5.5.4 is released. A nearly-complete h264 module for Cemu. An implementation similar to what an official one would be. Think of it like a pcsx2 plugin, implementing something not in the core

Cemu Hook changelog:
0.5.5.4 - Don't corrupt frames when seeking to another point in video stream
0.5.5.3 - Fix ALL (most?) OF THE H264 DECODING BUGS, add missing dbghelp exports so software relying on them doesn't break

A console that is a handheld that is a screen is to me one of the best ideas ever, heres the news from Nintendo press release:
Nintendo Switch hits 10 million sales worldwide since its launch on 3rd March 2017, with a range of award-winning games including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey already available, with plenty more experiences to come in 2018.
Nintendo Switch is a home console that can be played on a TV, and also taken instantly on the go – it lets people play their favorite games anytime, anywhere and with anyone. And since every Nintendo Switch system comes bundled with two Joy-Con controllers, players can easily share the fun of compatible multiplayer games with friends and family right out of the box.
The robust and diverse library on Nintendo Switch features two of the most acclaimed video games of all time in Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. At The Game Awards last week in Los Angeles, Super Mario Odyssey won the award for Best Family Game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was honored with the awards for Game of the Year, Best Action/Adventure Game and Best Game Direction.
Nintendo Switch is also home to fun multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and ARMS that can be played online or with friends and family in the same room, as well as an ever-growing list of great third-party games like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, FIFA 18, Rocket League, L.A. Noire, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Golf Story and Stardew Valley, Nintendo Switch is truly for any player.
“As you can see in people’s living rooms, on a plane or riding the subway, fans all over the world can enjoy playing Nintendo Switch wherever they go,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The response from fans has been great, and we’re doing our very best to satisfy demand during the holiday shopping season.”
After a record-breaking 2017, Nintendo Switch will continue its momentum in 2018. The system will see the launch of Nintendo-published games like Kirby Star Allies, Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2 and a new game in the beloved Yoshi franchise, in addition to big third-party games like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus from Bethesda, Mega Man 11 from Capcom, PROJECT OCTOPATH TRAVELER (working title) from Square Enix, Shovel Knight: King of Cards from Yacht Club Games and Runner 3 from Choice Provisions.

Heres a new browser exploit for the Nintendo Wii, i have 4 Nintendo Wiis Exploited and love playing emulators and older games on them, heres the news from Eurasia:
Fullmetal5 over at gbatemp.net has released a browser exploit for Wii called FlashHax. Quote: 'This is an exploit in the Wii's Internet Channel which can still be freely downloaded from the shopping channel. This exploit is entirely loaded over the internet so you don't even need an SD card for this. The goal in the future is to have a little app store where you can launch any homebrew app without having to go through the Homebrew Channel or mess around with preparing files on an SD card. Unfortunately this doesn't work for the vWii since Nintendo doesn't allow you to download the Internet Channel on the vWii. Although if you install the channel through homebrew it should in theory work (untested tho).' Thanks goes to hitman43 for the heads up

The Nintendo Switch is a bloody smart idea, it may not be the most powerful home console but because of its ability to do so much its a gamechanger, heres part of the article from Kotaku:
When I was a kid, video games felt like they were for kids. They were platform games with furry animal mascots. They were as vibrant and sugary as the cordial I guzzled whilst playing them. Even zeitgeist games like Street Fighter II, while technically violent, represented the benign violence of the playground. It was Jean Claude Van Damme. A spontaneous crowd around 8-year-olds that can’t punch properly.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
Then, when I was a teenager, video games were as clumsy as I was. The leap to 3D was as awkward as puberty. Video games had hair on their chest and nowhere to put all their bizarre, messed up sexual energies. The writing was like terrible teenage poetry. We stumbled over words, our voices breaking as we tripped over our slow-moving, train-wreck avatars.
“You were almost a Jill Sandwich”.
Video games were Resident Evil, Tomb Raider. We loved these video games then. They made sense in context. In 2017 it’s like cringing through a re-read of our crusty teenage diaries.

The out of archive guys are back with another long gone magazine for us to read, heres the details:
Again, due to ongoing health issues as well as scanner problems (having to throw out a years worth of scans due to a scanner defect that was noticed way too late), this update comes a bit later than expected, as a big part of the magazine needed to be redone from scratch...
But our first issue of the Nintendo Official Magazine is finally here. You might notice this it starts with issue 54 and that's for good reason. NOM is the continuation of Nintendo Magazine System and thus kept it's numbering despite changing the magazine's name. There's a ton of great content in this first issue so let's get started!
Let's start of with a look at Enix in an RPG Special. Then let's take a look at the included interview with Midway about Doom 64.
Besides these two great feature we also selected four reviews to preview the magazine as you download the full issue: Staring of with the classic Super Mario 64 as well as Pilotwings 64 and then looking at the slightly more dated Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. Enjoy!

Heres some new NES roms never released before, heres the details:
CaH4e3 updated his site with the following new NES dumps:
- Panda Baby (Unl)[!].
Let's make some more dumps before the end of the year for a great justice... Today we have a rare guest - Panda Baby. This game was made on the same engine as Lion King III, Felix The Cat, The Hacker and other games by Dragon Co., but with an unusual ID (DY0001 for PCB, DJ08006 for Cart, while the regular cart labels for Dragon Co. are DHxxxx, which you can see at the pirates ID list on this site). Who exactly and when produced this game currently unknown and still the object of research but as against the other similar games this one is a seemingly rare so we have a great luck to have one here. Surprisingly, this game exploiting the same Donkey Kong Country background while using the Panda as the main character like the Shin-Shin Electronics version does. So we have another question here: are there any DKC versions ever existed? Maybe all these games are used Panda character instead by default? However, the game itself is so shitty so the AVGD won't play it at all.
- 90-in-1 Hwang Shinwei (Unl)[U][!].
Along with the Panda got an interesting multigame cart by Hwang Shinwei - Cartridge Story III. There are some later versions of this cart known on the net (150/210/260-in-1 bad dumps). But the main difference in this dump is a presence of previously undumped simple games by Hwang Shinwei. There are no dumps for part I and II still, as well as proper dumps of 210/260-in-1 carts. But I hope I can fix this the next year though.
This dump can be played only on later FCEUX. So you need either to build a current SVN repository or download the dayli build by official build bot.
- Super 86-in-1 [p1][!].
And finally, a simple multigame carts with a set of total rehacks of regular games. Some are known from the other dumps, some maybe not, don't know.

You cant beat the Xmas season for great Homebrew releases, well heres a translation of a classic Snes game that will get your mouth watering:
Almost 20 years after its original Japanese release, the immediate ancestor to the beloved tactics game Advance Wars is finally playable in English.
Super Famicom Wars was developed by Intelligent Systems, published by Nintendo and first released on May 1 1998. The game was available exclusively via the Nintendo Power rewritable cartridge system, making it one of the hardest Super Famicom titles to obtain.
The game was followed up by two titles for Game Boy Advance then yet another two for Nintendo DS in relatively quick succession. Since then, not much has been heard about the series’ future from either Nintendo or Intelligent Systems. This is a shame, really, since the Wars series’ upbeat take on turn-based military strategy is uniquely charming and accessible. So, in a way, releasing this translation makes a new game in the Wars franchise available to the English speaking world for the first time in almost ten years.

Heres another great release for Snes homebrew fans and rememeber that you can play Snes Homebrew on any Snes Emulator for any system:
Merry Christmas everyone! We here at D-D always try our best to give you a holiday ROM goodie, and this year we even made our Christmas release window! Santa says he hopes you like this little gem just in time for Christmas 2017!
Princess Minerva is a really interesting game. You control a squad of nine female warriors trying to stop a another group of female warriors from turning every young girl in the kingdom into a monster girl. Your party is divided into three sub parties which all fight battles at random. All Nine girls must be used in battle and you can’t control which team gets put into battle except in boss fights. It is a pretty fun and quite silly little turn based RPG that we hope you enjoy.
We highly recommend that you read the readme file as it will inform you about a few bugs to expect to encounter from the original Japanese rom and other things to expect during gameplay.

The Xmas releases are coming, heres a new version of the Virtual Boy Emulator Rustal Boy, heres the release info:
Rustual Boy is a Virtual Boy emulator. It can be used to play existing Virtual Boy games, as well as be a helpful development/debugging tool for homebrew for this platform. The name "Rustual Boy" is a portmanteau of the words "Rust" and "Virtual Boy". Ok, the "Virtual Boy" part was obvious, but why "Rust"? In fact, Rustual Boy is written in the Rust programming language - a "systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety." Rust is a wonderful language with a thriving community, and as such provides a fantastic platform for an emulation project!
Rustual Boy v0.2.0a Changlog:
|
This is a quick end-of-2017 release that includes all of the many bugfixes/improvements we've added throughout the year, including improved game compatibility, better debugging features, audio bugfixes, and much more!
The executables in these archives are still considered early builds (hence v0.2.0, see status for more info) but you're more than welcome to grab one and give it a shot. If you run into any trouble, let us know! |
For Windows

For Nintendo 3DS/2DS owners who have homebrew capabilities, heres a great release of a new NES Emulator for the console, heres the release notes:
VirtuaNES for 3DS v1.01 is released. This is a port of VirtuaNES to 3DS as an alternative to existing NES emulators. It used to be considered one of the best emulators before FCE and Nestopia, and it runs quite fast for lower spec-ed computers (at the cost of some emulation accuracy). But because of that, the Old 3DS / 2DS is able to benefit from this fast running emulator core. This runs full speed on an old 3DS / 2DS with support for tonnes of mappers. Although it doesn't support every single mapper, the library of games that can run on this are probably fairly huge already.
VirtuaNES for 3DS Changelog:
v1.01:
- Fixed cheats (previously cheats couldn't be activated whatever you did)
- Fixed mapper problem in Kabuki Quantum Fighter
v1.00
- Added key mappings to fast forward (capped at 180 FPS), and open the emulator menu.
- Updated configuration menu
- Added feature to auto-save state
- Migrated and fixed some mappers from VirtuaNESEx (thanks to the authors of VirtualNESEx)
- The following mappers are fixed/added: 4, 7, 16, 23, 34, 47, 49, 52, 65, 69, 71, 73, 74, 86, 91, 92, 121, 132, 141, 148, 150, 162, 163, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 189, 190, 194, 198, 199, 212, 235, 237, 240, 241, 252
- Fixed VS mapper for Super Mario Bros
- Added ability to map any 3DS key to insert coin for VS games
- Fixed Lagrange Point VRC7 emulation for the Old 3DS by playing at 20KHz. The old 3DS was too slow to render sounds at 32KHz or even at 22KHz.
- Minor optimizations for sound generation.
- A number of games are fixed due to the mapper updates. Examples are: Crisis Force (Japan), Feng Yun (Ch), San Guo Zhi (Ch), and many others.

Heres a reason why homebrewers and hackers are actually good for old commercial games, heres a release of the old black and white Mario Land 2 on the Gameboy boosted with colours and the slowdowns are gone, amazing work, heres the release info:
Merry Christmas!
This hack turns Super Mario Land 2, one of the best GameBoy platformers, into a fully colorized GameBoy Color game. Luigi has also been included as a playable character with his own physics.
It’s been completely done in ASM so it works on real hardware. Additionally, this hack uses GBC’s extra CPU, so all the slowdowns found in the original game are gone.

Some very interesting news from Eurasia concerning the release of a new Homebrew bootloader for the Nintendo 3DS, heres the release notes:
Derrek, profi200, d0k3 have released a homebrew bootloader for the Nintendo 3DS that is similar to android's fastboot. Quote: 'fastboot3DS is a bootloader for the 3DS console, intended to be installed to the FIRM0 partition. It allows you to assign homebrew in .firm format to bootslots, and to chainload bootslots via either a bootmenu or a button combo of your choosing. fastboot3DS also contains basic tools for NAND backups and restores.

RadeonUser has posted the release of Project64 Legacy Open Beta the Nintendo 64 Emulator for WIndows, heres the release notes:
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or simply Hello for those who do not partake!
I bring you our first beta release.
We felt we had been taking too long and needed to generate some interest.
What we offer here is an improvement over PJ64 1.6 and I consider it to be our Legacy (hence the name).
We have had great support from our friends, notably Azimer for his work on his audio plugin that he has graciously allowed us to release, Icepir8 for his video plugin (I will better support it soon, I promise ice!), Witten for his always excellent work on cheats, Nekokabu who always brings insight into problems with games (I'm sorry I haven't had the time to fix everything you've pointed out!).
And always a thanks to those that have stuck around, Clements, TrotterWatch, Squall but can't fully commit anymore like they used to (Life moving on stinks!)
Of course to those that found out how to fix the problems no one else looked at, zoinkity I love your work.
Luigiblood, just wow with your work into 64DD -- I'll be visiting that library you've built for us at some point!
Zilmar and Jabo the original two who I'll always love dearly.
Despite the differences we have had I cannot how any rancor towards you.
Yes I'm forgetting a whole lot of people!
Thank you all though, everyone.
Now I do have a favor to ask for anyone that uses PJ64 Legacy.
What I ask is that you please report any issues you run into!
Anything you feel is wrong or could be improved is welcome.
I must also ask for your patience.
I am programming on my leisure time and I just spent the entire Christmas holiday weekend doing nothing but programming and taking naps (I say naps but these were simply instances where I was no longer awake).
P.S.
Oh, you probably want to know where the download is.
Unfortunately Gent is the one who set up this forum and website so we'll have to wait for him in the morning to do the posts!
So until then it's in the Downloads section under Open Beta Packages.
I'll upload here too and I'm sure Gent will get after me in his morning for doing something wrong.
Cheers though!
Have fun everyone!

Via NintendoMax comes an update from the FlashHax Team regarding their software for the Nintendo Wii:
It's been a while since any new entry points have been introduced and even though the Wii might be pretty much dead I thought it was still worth having another free entry point.
This is an exploit in the Wii's Internet Channel which can still be freely downloaded from the shopping channel.
This exploit is entirely loaded over the internet so you don't even need an SD card for this.
The goal in the future is to have a little app store where you can launch any homebrew app without having to go through the Homebrew Channel or mess around with preparing files on an SD card.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for the vWii since Nintendo doesn't allow you to download the Internet Channel on the vWii. Although if you install the channel through homebrew it should in theory work (untested tho).
Currently the only payload that is prepared is the HackMii Installer (v1.2) so you can install homebrew on a Wii that has a broken SD card reader.
Although good luck trying to get any homebrew apps to play nice without their SD card support.
Here is the current guide to FlashHax.
1. Make sure you are running 4.3U (untested but might work on other regions) with the latest version of the Internet Channel.
2. In the Internet Channel go to flashhax.com
3. When the page loads it should tell you to bookmark this page. Go ahead and add the page as a favorite.
If you get this far then you can start from here if the exploit fails.
4. Click the page label "Exploit" that just got added in the favorites menu.
You should be booted into the HackMii installer after a few seconds.
It is normal for the "Downloading payload" screen to take a few seconds (15 or so).
If you get stuck on a screen that says "Downloading payload", "Performing Hax", or "Everything is not ok!" then hold down the power button on your Wii to try again.
From now on all you have to do is click the Exploit page from the favorites menu to be launched into the installer.
As I said above this isn't that useful to do multiple times however I hope to have a landing page where you can select what app you want to launch. (Coming soon... maybe... I haven't really started on this yet)

Seems that NIntendo have removed the Golf Game from the Nintendo Switch, heres some info:
Switch hacker SciresM reported that Nintendo’s recent firmware 4.0.0 has removed the golf game from the console. Specifically, he says all related APIs have been stubbed (meaning the function call is still here but does nothing), and the game itself has been overwritten with random data. It’s unclear why Nintendo made that decision. The golf game was a nice little touch and a good demonstration of Nintendo’s spirit. Mainstream media loved the easter egg once it was revealed by hackers.

The guys over at NEsworld have updated their Nes Homebrew section, heres whats new:
Yes I am back with yet another update, but that took me a little while to "get out the door". As the update was chugging along, it went past 800 entries in total and even then some... in fact the update is a massive 68 new entries and 4 updates to existing ones.
Most interesting is the release of the Legends of Owlia, Nomolos Storming the CATsle, full games now available free of charge thanks to Gradual Games who by the way is working on their third NES game.
December also brought Teletime, again free of charge. A Music ROM that previously only was available on cartridge.... and to add to that the Mojon Twins also made the full Super UWOL game available for free.
But why not head on over to the homebrew section and check out the new additions, which by the way now are listed in a seperate table for easier browsing. Oh and again, if you know of an NES homebrew that isn't listed here then please do let me know so it can be added, and thanks for visiting and thanks to all the people making NES homebrew! :-)
Visit the NES homebrew section here.

Heres a great rom hack release, and a stunner to end the year on:
Happy Holidays RDHN! Just in time for New Years, here is a unique mod of the tear jerking game, Mother 3!
This is a hack that affects both the gameplay and story/text of the role-playing game, Mother 3. Main Protagonist Lucas has been replaced with his twin brother Claus, who has a radically different personality from him, and unlike Lucas in the vanilla game, allows you to see his thoughts/personality via inspections upon many objects/characters, as well as changes how the characters react to him. Much of the text in the game is changed to accommodate this (though the most notable text changes are in Chapter 1 and Chapters 4-8, 2 and 3 aren’t changed very much). All of Lucas’s sprites have been changed to resemble Claus, and vice versa. (There are some issues with Kid Claus’s sprites when it comes to running to the north, but that’s an issue with how the game renders its sprites which cannot be fixed sadly.)-
The gameplay is also altered in terms of what PSI he and Kumatora can learn throughout the game, and how you can use those moves in battle, which also affects the strategy you’ll be using during battle depending on the version you choose. The details of each version’s differences/changes are detailed in the README included, though the story stays the same between all of them.
NOTE: Do know that the creator of this hack was only able to alter text, but not edit story events directly, so while the interactions and development for the characters differs in the story, the end results of certain events stay the same.
Special thanks to Lorenzoone for editing the Inventory/Battle Sprites for Claus, NoUsernameAvailable (yes, that’s what he asked to be called) for helping working on the ROM with Mother 3 Funland in order to change the color palettes of both Lucas and Claus so they could both have their proper sets of colors, and lastly, to Otherguy and Koops, who helped to alter all the enemy values for the Moveswap version of the hack so PSI alterations would work properly for Kumatora and Claus.

Here we have a translation of the Gameboy game Glory of Heracles, heres the release notes:
Happy new years from aishsha and Pennywise. Today we’ve decided to release our translation of The Glory of Heracles - The Olympus Offensive - Snap Story for the Gameboy.
This project began over 5 years ago and is completely different from the already complete translation of the game. No offense to the other translation, but our translation is far superior and was begun at a time when it looked that other translation would never be finished. See readme for details.

GlideN64 the Graphics plugin for Nintendo 64 Emulators has seen a massive new update, heres the release news:
GLideN64 Public Release v3.0 is compiled. GLideN64 is a new generation, open-source graphics plugin for N64 emulators
GLideN64 Public Release v3.0 Changelog:
Today is time to set new Release tag to master branch. Previous Public Release made year ago. Time to set the new milestone. Some statistics: since previous public release
* over 600 commits to master
* closed over 250 various issues
During the year I tried to describe main project's achievements. Lets make a brief retrospective:
The year started from a massive code refactoring. The source code changed drastically. Direct calls to graphics API totally removed from main code. Main code works with graphics via proxy class, which passes graphics call to a graphics back-end. Currently there is one back-end, which uses OpenGL. The refactoring allowed me and other developers to make OpenGL back-end dynamically adoptable for abilities of user's GPU. Thus, the same code works without recompilation for GL ES 2.0, GL ES 3.X, OpenGL 3.X, OpenGL 4.X. The more your GPU can do, the better and faster result you will get. With VAO/VBO support it became possible to use OpenGL core profile and finally port GLideN64 to MacOsX.
After the code refactoring I made major modification of frame buffer and video interface emulation. It was very large and complex work, but the results were rewarding. Fixed lots of old issues, the frame buffer emulation code became simpler.
Long awaited support for Resident Evil 2. The way this game programmed makes it hard to emulate on PC hardware. Many special code required to emulate it properly.
HLE fixes. Most users prefer to use GLideN64 in High Level Emulation mode (HLE), which not only runs much faster than Low Level Emulation (LLE) but also allows them to use widescreen mode and per-pixel lighting. HLE mode has its own issues caused by incomplete or missing implementation of game's microcode. Most of Nintendo microcodes are documented and their implementations work without issues. However, there are many custom microcodes, created by other developers. Documentation for these microcodes is not available for emu devs. To support custom microcode, its assembler code must be reverse-engineered. This work requires skills and patience. The first results in microcode decoding obtained in 2016, when Gilles Siberlin decoded microcode for Kuiki Uhabi Suigo. This year olivieryuyu, the main beta tester of GLideN64, decided to take microcode decoding task and step by step he achieved outstanding results:
T3DUX microcode decoded. Last Legion UX, Shin Nihon Pro Wrestling Toukon Road - Brave Spirits and Shin Nihon Pro Wrestling Toukon Road 2 - The Next Generation now playable with HLE.
Custom lighting method used by Acclaim games decoded. Armorines - Project S.W.A.R.M., South Park, Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil, Turok 3 - Shadow of Oblivion now look much better with HLE.
F3DAM microcode decoded. This is custom microcode, which only one game uses: Hey You, Pikachu! Now this game is fully playable with HLE without major graphics issues.
F3DFLX microcode decoded. This custom microcode is used to draw vehicles in F-Zero. With implementation of this microcode, the vehicles got reflection effect in HLE mode.
Zelda Majora's Mask point-lighting. This game uses custom lighting method, which graphics plugins developers could not properly implement for many years. Finally, olivieryuyu decided to decode it and he succeeded.
Star Wars - Rogue Squadron. This game was co-developed by Factor 5 and LucasArts. Factor 5 created very complex and very large microcode to port this game on N64. HLE implementation of the game was near impossible because of amount of work necessary to decode and implement that microcode. This summer me and olivieryuyu decided to take it. We achieved first very modest results and started crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to support our hard work. Luckily, the campaign was supported and this support encouraged us in our efforts. The game became fully playable in HLE to the end of summer.
Also, Gilles Siberlin has very promising results with HLE implementation of BOSS ZSort microcode for World Driver Championship and Stunt Racer. It should be ready to next release.
Of course, the number of changes is much larger than I could highlight in this blog. Among the most noticeable changes are:
Fixes in software depth buffer render made Body Harvest fully playable. The game suffered from problems with collisions detection.
Emulation of YUV-to-RGB color space conversion allowed to work with YUV textures without hacks and finally fix problems with Projectile Effects in Killer Instinct Gold.
Both Vigilante 8 games became playable after fixes with frame buffer emulation. There are still many glitches in menus, but at least menus are rendered. Game play looks ok.
Gauntlet legends now can boot in HLE mode and works without flickering. This result requires changes not only in graphics plugin, but also in core and RSP, and currently available only with mupen64plus. Thanks LegendOfDragoon for support of this game in GLideN64.
Many fixes made in GLideNHQ library, which responsible for texture enhancement and hires texture packs support.
