Release from Hydr8gon
NoiES for Switch
I present to you my own original NES emulator for the Switch, NoiES! This entire emulator was written from scratch by me. I started this project just to teach myself about how emulators are made so that I can work on larger projects in the future, but it went farther than I originally expected and is now pretty much a full-fledged emulator, apart from some minor inaccuracies and some missing mappers.
But there are already other NES emulators for the Switch, why use this one?
Well, no reason in particular. As I said before, this was more a learning experience for me, but I ported it to the Switch for the homebrew bounty and I might as well release it. I suppose the biggest advantage I can offer is that since I developed the entire emulator core myself I am very familiar with it and can easily dive in to fix bugs and add new features.
Minor inaccuracies?
Yes, well, I've yet to test my CPU timing for cycle accuracy so no promises there. There are also some minor timing issues with the PPU, particularly with the MMC3 IRQ counter, which can be seen in the slight vibration of the status bar in Kirby's Adventure. Another odd bug I found is that I can't seem to navigate the items menu in The Legend of Zelda. Oh, and the audio system is still kind of a work in progress, so you might notice crackles (especially in docked mode!), missing sounds, or things that sound slightly off. (Wow, doing a great job selling it here)
Mappers?
Right. Every ROM has a mapper; it's basically what loads different portions of the ROM memory into the CPU memory for execution. I've implemented mappers 1 through 4, which should cover a large portion of the NES library. If you have any particular games you want to play that aren't supported, tell me the mapper number (the emulator will tell you which one it is if it isn't supported) so I can place higher priority on implementing it.

higan v106r125 is released. higan (formerly bsnes) is a Nintendo multi-system emulator that began development on 2004-10-14. It currently supports the following systems:
- Famicom
- Super Famicom
- Game Boy
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Advance
higan also supports the following subsystems:
- Super Game Boy
- BS-X Satellaview
- Sufami Turbo
higan Changelog：
* Update to v106r127 release.
byuu says:
now that it seems we're finally going to get some real alternative choices in
SNES emulation, I felt a bit emboldened to start performing some more radical
changes I put off for a long time. This WIP rewrites huge swaths of the SNES
DSP core to separate internal registers from underlying RAM. This allows me to
emulate the randomized memory registers at power-on, while not breaking games
due to also randomizing the actual DSP registers. This is part of Jonas Quinn's
findings about a year and a half ago, which is aimed at improving the chances
Magical Drop doesn't crash, as on real hardware.

Claus is back, in an updated, finalized hack of Mother 3! In this hack, the roles of main characters Lucas and Claus are swapped, making Claus into the main protagonist, which greatly changes the story due to Claus’s drastically different personality compared to Lucas. Much of the text and story is altered to better showcase Claus’s personality and thoughts, as well as how others react to him. There are 3 different gameplay versions, one normal version for those who want to play only for the story, one moveswap version that makes Claus the offensive PSI user and KUmatora the defensive/healer, and a combined PSI that makes Claus and Kumatora’s PSI movesets like Paula and Poo from Mother 2, where they both share good amounts of offensive and defensive PSI. All versions have Claus’s instrument sounds changed too to be his actual instrument sounds, and not Lucas’s.
This new update fixes an error where 2 areas of the late game did not have any altered dialogue (those being the Toilet Dungeon and Porky’s Minigames), as well as polishes up dialogue across the game and adds in new tidbits into areas that weren’t there before. You’ll have to find them for yourself. 
On top of that, the King Porky Statue boss fight has been altered to be winnable by normal means as he now has much more manageable HP and slightly nerfed stats, but he’s still a big challenge (and as such, you can no longer one shot the boss with the New Year’s Eve bomb). However, as a result the rewards for beating him are much greater, as you can get Lucas or Kumatora’s Ultimate Weapons from him, as well as making the EXP for beating him slightly greater. If you already happen to have one of these Ultimate weapons, you can now sell them for a lot of DP as compensation as well.
This is a hack by the fans, for the fans, as a fresh new way to experience and enjoy the story of Mother 3.

FUZE Technologies Ltd apologetically announces a slight further delay in the release date for their highly anticipated ‘learn to code’ games programming application for Nintendo Switch. Managing director Jon Silvera commented,
“in all honesty we’re all a bit disappointed to have delayed further but there really was no option. The 31st of May is a comfortable date as we’re already in the final stages, no new features are being added just testing and adding as much tutorial and help content as we can. FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is special as there really is nothing like it. We always knew we could come up with the goods but none of us realized quite how impressive the final release version would be. It’s fast, intuitive and very accessible.”
“From a personal perspective I could not be prouder. We’re a small team with limited resources. The team has worked tirelessly for almost two years. It’s been an incredible journey and one I hope will put the younger team members in very good stead for their lives ahead.”
“Finally, Nintendo’s awesome Switch made it possible for us to realize the answer to the original question that began this journey. The question, could we recreate the accessible coding environment those of us who grew up in the 1970’s and 80’s was exposed to? The answer, after seven years of hard, but very enjoyable work, and thanks in no small part to Nintendo, is a resounding yes. Beyond our own expectations YES! Go code.”
Click to expand...
Along with a video apology they’ve managed to include a vast array of demo clips taken directly from the application to highlight what is possible. Every demo is 100% FUZE.

Nintendulator 0.985 beta (2019/03/28) is released. Nintendulator is an open source Win32 NES emulator written in C (plus some assembly optimization). The original goal was to emulate the NES down to its hardware quirks; though it's fallen behind over the years, recent builds have caught up once again and can emulate certain behaviors most other emulators neglect to handle. However, this emulation precision comes at a price - a 1500MHz (estimated) or faster CPU is required to emulate at full speed.
Supported file formats include .NES, UNIF, FDS (fwNES format), and NSF. Mappers are handled using external DLLs, complete with extra sound channels for most games which provide them. Other notable features include writing to FDS images (by storing the differences in the SRAM folder), Game Genie support (limited to 3 codes), customizeable controllers (including 4 player), input movie recording and playback (with re-recording), AVI capturing, and a debugger.

rsn8887 has released yet another significant update to ScummVM for the Switch which brings about support for USB mice and keyboards.
This which will translate to a more faithful gaming experience and more accurate input as games that can be run in ScummVM are all ‘point and click’ adventure games like Leisure Suit Larry. Rsn8887 notes that not all mice may work and some keyboard/mouse combos don’t work either due to limitations in the Switch’s USB driver so if the mouse you try using doesn’t work, just try another one!
To grab this build of ScummVM (and an updated PSP build), simply follow this link and download the NRO provided.

If you aren’t a big fan of RetroArch and prefer standalone emulators for the Switch, then you’ve got some updates to install as 3 important emulators have just been updated! These are Cpasjuste’s pNES, pSNES and pFBA, all mature emulators that have been around since last year.
These updates (v3.1) apply to all three emulators and are available for both the Switch and Linux; they include:
- Support for zipped skins so you can have a more organised skins folder and save a bit of space along some other minor updates
- You may now select the skin of your choice from the main menu
- The save state menu received numerous bug fixes and is now able to return to the main menu when pressing the back button successfully among other things
- On the Switch, you can press the joystick on the left joycon for START and the joystick on the right joycon for SELECT
- The Force_60HZ option is not automatically applied, the auto interpolation options and NeoGeo BIOS selection have been fixed (Included in pFBA only through a separate v3.3 release)
To grab these updated emulators, simply download the ZIP files from this link for the platform you want (Switch/Linux) and enjoy! Make sure you get version 3.3 of pFBA as it’s not included in the pEMU 3.1 release collection.
