Then GBAtemp needs YOU!

We are looking for a new reporter to further expand our coverage of Nintendo Switch and 3DS scene news, homebrew projects and other news that may interest the GBAtemp community. General gaming news is already well covered by our current staff - the focus here is on the modding scene.

If any of the following apply to you - you could be who we're looking for:
  • Closely follow the console hacking scene (focus on Switch, 3DS),
  • Have expert knowledge on the current state of firmware,modding developments, homebrew projects etc.
  • Have spare time to devote to posting high quality news,
  • Have experience writing news articles/guides etc.,
Please note that this is NOT a moderator position. This is a paid news reporter position that would require you to frequently post news of a high standard to our home-page. You would also be expected to liaise with other staff via the Telegram chat app and be dependable on keeping GBAtemp.net at the forefront for major breaking developments.

If this sounds like you then you can apply below. Please tell us a bit about yourself, your position in the scene and any previous writing experience you may have and why you think you'd be a good fit for the position. Please be honest and open, we're a friendly bunch!

:arrow: If you are interested in applying, please send us a PM!

General applications will be accepted until the 7th December

Looks interesting and I actually fit with the "follows 3DS scene closely", but I don't think time would allow me to do this.

Good luck to all participants!

I'm also interested in that!
I'm pretty active in the Nintendo Switch scene since the first "CFW" came out.
I started to mod games (3D-Models, texts, translations), creating custom themes (actually I made the first custom theme for switch) and I'm active on a handful of Homebrew-related Discords (either as mod or as admin).

I was pretty active in the 3DS-Scene, tho.
I started the Fire Emblem If - Fantranslation project and made all kind of mods.

If there's something new in the Scene, I'm one of the first ppl who knows about it.

Would like to write some news for GBATemp :D

@Draxzelex could be good for this
Sorry I don’t want to sound catty just an opinion but please don’t say you just suggested him as an “experienced reporter” in hacking & homebrew scene, no he’s far from experienced he didn’t even have a clue what he was doing at the early stages of the switch scene he has only picked up hacking information from others as he’s gone along he was injecting card 1 certificates in card 2 titles and went online even though it was explained in great detail how to extract & inject certificates to do this, that’s how he received his console ban so no he does not give me confidence as an experienced reporter also as far as I am aware he has little 3ds knowledge. I do know he hasn’t any wiiu scene knowledge.

I apply to the "Reader" role.

Oh wait...

I don't have a capture card, but I'd love to contribute to the site by reviewing GameCube/Wii games.
