    DraStic DS Emulator on Android is now free to download, will be taken down soon

    I don't think it has had an update in at least a year. If it ever ends up actually going open source then expect a whole bunch of updates.

    3DS homebrew tool FBI title manager removed from GitHub

    How long did it take between when Sony started really cracking down (i.e. with going after Geohot) and when Sony's networks repeatedly got compromised?

    Super Mario RPG Remake is now leaked

    That sucks. I was just asking because the last time I checked Ryujinx didn't work very well on the Steam Deck but Yuzu did.

    Super Mario RPG Remake is now leaked

    Does it work on Yuzu?

    Super Mario Wonder and Sonic Superstars leaked ahead of release [UPDATE 2]

    Yuzu could also be using some tricks that sacrifice accuracy for speed as high accuracy is always harder to do and do properly. As an extreme example, there is an extremely accurate NES emulator called MetalNES (to the point the last commit says "added 74HC04 inverter") but even the fastest...

    Nintendo to shut down online play for all 3DS and Wii U games

    Has anyone managed to figure out how to get the DLC tablets and such in Dragon Quest 7 without needing online play, whether through a server emulator, game patching, or cheat codes?

    Oh hey there's a better Amiibo emulator out now - the Allmiibo

    Not really, only the Motorola from what I have found and even then you have to deal with all the apps that use various root detection methods some of which can't be bypassed and others are a royal pain in the ass to do so. For example having to switch between Magisk Alpha, Delta, or something...

    Software RetroArch version 1.16.0 released, adds performance improvements for iOS

    Do the wayland fixes/improvements also apply to gamescope (steam deck game mode) even though it isn't a full blown wayland compositor, only a mini-compositor?

    Unity angers developers by announcing new fees based on game installs

    It is trivial to reach 1 million installs if you can get a hundred people to set up a couple of VMs each that are constantly installing a pirated copy and then uninstalling and reinstalling it, only running it just long enough for it to count as an install. 1694697426 Which does nothing against...

    Homebrew nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

    Can it run Saga 3 and get past the first battle?

    Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit updated with playable Amy & more

    Sure, though the last time I did a "pacman -Syu" on the steam deck I had to reinstall the OS because it made it so the trackpad/mouse would stop working in desktop mode after a minute or two and no doubt a recent upstream Wine would result in several updates that have a good chance of also...

    Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit updated with playable Amy & more

    In that case would a Linux version (ideally as a flatpak, but an appimage would be fine) be practical since the Steam Deck is getting pretty popular nowadays and it would be nice to not have to mess with lutris/bottles?

    "Game Porting Toolkit" by Apple will allow Windows games to run on Mac, similar to Proton on Linux

    It won't. What would really help is if Hangover can be made to work on the new macs and with apple's x86/x64 emulator since the whole point of Hangover is to run wine/proton itself and all windows API calls as native ARM code and only do CPU emulation for actual x86/x64 instructions in the...

    Star Wars KOTOR II devs go back on promise to release restored content DLC for Switch port

    Yep, once again the Steam Deck does what Nintendon't.

    [UPDATE] Dolphin's release on Steam indefinitely delayed after Nintendo sends cease & desist order to Valve

    Turns out it wasn't a DMCA notice, what actually happened was that Valve contacted Ninty on their own and asked if it was ok and Ninty said no. Since there was no DMCA notification there is nothing Dolphin can do since the normal counter-notice procedure doesn't apply. Please update/fix the...

    New nds-bootstrap update improves DSiWare game compatibility on original DS systems and adds save support

    Unfortunately I am almost certain that the DS doesn't have a MMU. Why do you think gbarunner2 is/was such a pain in the ass to make?

    The company behind Denuvo launches its "Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection", claims to "solve" Switch piracy

    Of course it only runs in userland, do you really think Nintendo is going to allow games to load kernel drivers that could bypass their security? Hell, even 3DS games aren't allowed to use self modifying code which is why emulators that use dynamic recompilation have to be run either under...

    The company behind Denuvo launches its "Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection", claims to "solve" Switch piracy

    Except that is often already the case when it comes to emulation, especially any emulator that uses HLE, as it often takes time for the stuff the new game uses to be implemented especially if it takes advantage of new syscalls or other APIs implemented in later firmware versions. Hell, there...

    SEGA reveals the full lineup of Mega Drive / Genesis Mini 2 and the European version

    Given the limited amount and how much these things are going to be sold for by scalpers it will almost certainly be cheaper to buy a prebuilt MiSTer and those are pretty expensive.

    what is the difference between hard-mod and soft-mod on the 3ds?

    Yes, by using the custom firmware for a R4 or Ak2i or other compatible flash card. Note that cards other than the Ak2i will have to be flashed back in order to actually use it as a DS flash cart again. Also note that nds-bootstrap, which lets you run many DS games right off the 3DS sd card...
