    New 'Pragmata' update introduces new outfit and addresses training simulation challenge

    This game really surprised me, it's my favorite game of the year so far. The whole "solve puzzles while shooting" thing seems weird at first, but feels quite satisfying once you get into it. I also really enjoyed the sci-fi setting and characters. I actually liked Pragmata a whole lot more...

    Help on 3DS prices...

    Ah, so this is the "duality of man" my English teachers told me so much about!

    Help on 3DS prices...

    As someone who equally values emulation and original hardware - I think the 3DS is one of the few consoles you should really seek original hardware for. Azahar just isn't there yet. I'm glad it exists and it works alright, but I've encountered issues with literally every single 3DS game I've...

    Gaming Star Fox 64 HD Demo

    I'm glad it got a demo, though a bit surprised since Nintendo usually skips downloadable demos for their big 1st party games. Pretty mixed on the game itself; I think the new voices are definitely inferior to the original, and I still don't like the character designs. I also think the...

    Anyone got a 100% save file for this port, and know where to put it?

    Why did the price of 3ds shoot up ?

    It doesn't help that 3DS emulation is still weirdly hit-or-miss even with the most recent versions of Azahar. Every single game I've tried has annoying issues from major stutter to missing/glitched graphics. I don't want to rag on what's ultimately a passion project made by hardworking devs in...

    Nintendo announces price increases across the board, set to come into effect from September in western regions

    Depends on the player. Most people I know with a Switch 1 are more casual players who don't care about performance. Those who do care about it have either already upgraded to a Switch 2, modded their Switch 1, or jumped ship to PC.

    Hacking Hardware My Switch is slowing down

    SD cards degrade over time and will eventually fail; how quickly depends on anything from the card's quality to how intensely it's used. You're probably running emuNAND off of your SD card, which is really demanding on it. You should look into getting a new, good quality SD card to replace it...

    Project Super Mario Bros. Wonder: port 3ds (SE!)

    Honestly, really cool project you've got going here. Main menu looks dope and you've already got a character controller up and running. And the 3DS is an underappreciated target for this sort of thing. Don't let anyone discourage you, making things like this is a fun and useful skill to...

    ModRetro re-releases 'Rayman' cartridge

    The GBC Rayman games are fine little 2D platformers, made in the spirit of the first Rayman on consoles. They're beautifully animated and play very nicely. Very intrigued by the new soundtrack as that was the original game's weakest point. Inexplicably, even though the game is based on Rayman...

    Will We Be Able To Play Switch 2 Games On Modded Switch?

    it would be really funny to see a Switch 2 emulator running on Switch 1 via Linux. It could actually happen. (Playable framerates not included.)

    Am I the only one who doesn't really care about the Nintendo Switch 2?

    It's the least exciting hardware Nintendo has ever released relative to its time period, imo. I'm still pretty excited to see what devs make of it, especially Nintendo's 1st party studios. But I'm mostly on PC at this point, so I don't expect I'll treat the Switch 2 like my primary console as I...

    Sony can brick you PS5 if you violate their EULA

    Yeah this is seriously old news. I remember getting my 3DS in 2011, reading the manual because I was a bored kid, and seeing that scary warning about my brand-new console potentially not working anymore if I modified it. I bet there's similar verbiage in the Wii and DS manuals, maybe even earlier.

    Homebrew NXMP Nintendo Switch Media Player

    Just to provide a counter opinion, I really like the PDF feature and I'd love to see it kept in! But it's up to you, of course.
