Switch Homebrew Bounty Month 3: and the winners are...

hbb2018_sml.png

The GBAtemp Homebrew Bounty is a massive competition that aims to boost the Switch homebrew scene by giving rewards to a selection of the best homebrew projects. This third month, we reward Switch emulators, that is to say, emulators that run natively on the Switch to emulate other consoles, or emulators that run on PC to emulate the Switch. There are 4 categories in total.

The voting process is twofold: the staff gets to vote, and some members can vote too (in separate threads). We only allowed patrons to vote in order to limit possible fraud, and also to reward them for supporting us. We've just counted the votes. And the winners are...

I'm a little disappointed on how pFBA pSNES and pNES performed. I guess they are not as good as I thought :/
That said, thanks to all the voters and participants, and thanks to gbatemp for the contest of course.

I don't know who voted and all but in my opinion, your pnes, psnes, and pfba should have been 2nd, 3rd, 4th easily. If the DS emulator was full-speed with most games, I would agree for it's placement, but its unplayable to me right now. On the other hand as much as i love retroarch, I use all your emulators as a standalone emulators when playing those systems. So don't get discouraged, all your emulators are great as you thought.

Amazing! I didn't expect my little ol' projects to do so well! :D @StapleButter will be getting half of the melonDS prize at least, hopefully it will serve as good motivation to continue work on the hardware renderer. As for me, I have some things in the works for both melonDS and NoiES, and maybe I'll start looking into writing a SNES (or N64 if I'm feeling really spicy!) emulator sometime in the future. Regardless, this certainly helps a lot! Thanks to everyone who made this bounty possible, and everyone who submitted projects, this community is fantasic! :yayswitch:

Omg, congrats to you, @StapleButter, and @m4xw! :toot:
