Currently, it’s only available for macOS but it should be available for Windows soon and the technology could also be implemented in other emulators according to pmorinerie, its developer.

Nintendo hits popular homebrew YouTuber, Modern Vintage Gamer, with numerous copyright claims forcing him to stop making Switch homebrew videos – What’s happened and why this is behavior is very dangerous.

MVG's video about the whole ordeal can be seen below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKtaFU2ky9E

Nintaco is a cycle-accurate Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)/Famicom emulator and NES Sound Format (NSF) player written in Java, ostensibly making it cross-platform. It supports the vast majority of games including those for the Famicom Disk System (FDS), Dendy, VS. UniSystem, VS. DualSystem and PlayChoice-10, along with a plethora of peripherals.

It tracks play history, enabling the player to rewind time to undo mistakes, and to watch, export, edit and resume play at any point in the past. It supports netplay, save states, video and audio recording, video filters, screenshots, cheat codes, a debugger and a TAS editor. It can be controlled programmatically via an API. It provides automatic capturing of sprites and level maps. It even simulates R.O.B., the Robotic Operating Buddy.

Hello, All!

I've published updates to VGBAnext, Speccy, and ColEm emulators for
Android this week. The Cheatopedia is now much easier to reenable: all
you need to do is download a file to your "Downloads" folder, and the
app will do the rest. No need to unzip stuff any more. I have also
switched to Android Pie SDK and introduced a horizontal fling gesture to
show the action bar. This is done to avoid a clash with the vertical
fling modern Androids use to reveal their navigation UI. See below for
all the changes.

VGBAnext 6.1.2 -- GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Classic, NES Emulator

PPSSPP/Libretro Switch Public Beta by m4xw
==========================================

After a lot of work, m4xw is very happy to share this with all of you.
Currently it only supports "IR JIT" (which is basically a more optimized Interpreter) and "Interpreter", proper JIT (dynarec) support is still in the works.
Audio & Video support works, many core options cause Issues tho.

It is mandatory to "Close Content" after changing any Core option and restarting RetroArch, else it will potentially crash, don't close the RetroArch menu!

Special thanks to hrydgard for everything he has done for the PPSSPP Project.
If you want to support his work, consider buying PPSSPP Gold https://central.ppsspp.org/buygold even if you don't use it!

I will PR it once the libretro port is finished, also implemented half of what's needed for a Standalone port ;)
Source is on my Github, but it's highly WIP and needs a custom RA and a custom ffmpeg, so you should just wait if you want to build it yourself ;)

Libretro Docs (important informations for this core): https://docs.libretro.com/library/ppsspp/
Official Game Compatibility Tracker (your mileage might vary): https://report.ppsspp.org/games

GitHub (WIP Switch): https://github.com/m4xw/ppsspp/
GitHub (Official): https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp

Installation Instructions
==========================================

Drag & Drop the "retroarch" folder to the root of your SD, overwriting any file (it will not touch any options).
Assets are bundled, so you don't have to bother with that.

Notes
==========================================

If you are using ANY method of loading RetroArch OTHER than Atmosphere's title redirection feature, DO NOT report issues that you encounter.
These issues can skew testing and could very well be caused by loading through an unsupported method.

Video slowdowns are related to missing hardware accelerated decoding (nvdec), it's not a libretro/PPSSPP Issue.
FMV cut-scenes will be fine.
