Checkpoint is a fast and simple homebrew save manager for 3DS and [[Checkpoint Switch|Switch]] written in C++. The UI has been designed to condense as many options as possible, while keeping it simple to work with.

Checkpoint for 3DS natively supports 3DS and DS cartridges, digital standard titles and demo titles. It also automatically checks and filters homebrew titles which may not have a save archive to backup or restore, which is done without an external title list and filters. For this reason, Checkpoint doesn't need constant user maintenance to retain full functionality.

==Features==
* Focus on simplicity and efficiency.
* Lightweight, while being packaged with a nice GUI and built using most recent libraries available.
* Backs up and restores save data for 3DS cartridges and digital titles (including demos), extdata, DS cartridges, DSiWare and GBA Virtual Console titles.
* Automatically checks and filters homebrew titles which may not have a save archive to backup or restore.
* A completely redesigned user interface, with light and dark mode theming.
* A Settings section to configure everything directly from the console: favorites, filters, additional save folders and more, with no manual file editing required.
* Internationalization support: English, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese.
* Fast, responsive file operations: backups and restores run on a worker thread, and backups can be cancelled while in progress.
* Additional save folders, configurable per title through a built-in folder browser.
* A background FTP server, to access your save backups directly from your PC.
* Wireless save transfer between consoles.
* An HTTP log server, to view Checkpoint's logs in real time from any browser on your network.

==chlink==
Checkpoint comes with '''chlink''', a companion command line app for your PC that talks to Checkpoint's wireless save transfer feature. With chlink you can send save backups from your PC to the console and receive backups from the console to your PC, over your local network - no cables and no SD card swapping required.

Transfers are protected by a 4-digit PIN displayed on the console, and chlink automatically recognizes backups coming from a Checkpoint SD card layout, so title and backup information are filled in for you.

chlink is a single, dependency-free executable available for Windows, macOS and Linux. You can download it from the [https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint/releases/latest releases page], or build it yourself from the <code>tools/chlink</code> folder.

==Installation==
3DS version is available in 3DSX and CIA ([https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/releases QR code]).

Works for both CFW and Rosalina-based Homebrew Launchers (hax-based Homebrew Launchers are not supported by Checkpoint).

==User guide==
The first launch of the 3DS version will take considerably longer than usual (usually 1-2 minutes depending on how many titles you have installed), due to the working directories being created. Checkpoint will be significatively faster upon launch from then on.

To use, scroll between the title list and target a title with the selector. Then select a target backup to restore/overwrite.

===Working path===
Checkpoint relies on the following folders to store the files it generates. Note that all the working directories are automatically generated on first launch (or when Checkpoint finds a new title that doesn't have a working directory yet).

* <code>sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint</code> Root path.
* <code>sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/config.json</code> Custom configuration file.
* <code>sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/logs</code> Log files
* <code>sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/saves/<unique id> <game title></code> Root path for all the save backups for a generic game.
* <code>sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/extdata/<unique id> <game title></code> Root path for all the extdata backups for a generic game.

===Configuration===
All the options that used to require manual edits to the configuration file can now be managed from the Settings section, directly on the console. The <code>config.json</code> file is still stored in Checkpoint's working directory, but you're not required to touch it anymore. Example:

<pre>
{
"filter": [
"0x000400000011C400",
"0x000400000014F100"
],
"favorites": [
"0x000400000011C400"
],
"additional_save_folders": {
"0x00040000001B5000": {
"folders": [

"/moreSaves"
]
},
"0x00040000001B5100": {
"folders": [
"/3ds/PKSM/backups"
]
}
},
"additional_extdata_folders": {

},
"nand_saves": true,
"version": 2
}
</pre>

'''v3.10.0 2025/04/19'''
* '''Fixed: startup time has been drastically improved: ~50% speedup on uncached boot, ~90% speedup on cached boot.'''
** This has been achieved by profiling the application boot process, and realizing that title cache persistence on the SD card took majority of the loading time. Now this operation is lazily done in a separate thread. It's funny to realize that a badly implemented optimization can become a bottleneck of its own, so take my mistake as a lesson.
** Here's the improvements I had on my console (improvements may vary since they depend on how many games you have on your console):
*** Uncached startup went down from 9.8s to 5.7s
*** Cached startup went down from 5.7s to 0.6s

* Fixed: cartridge loading now runs immediately rather than waiting for the title cache to be persisted on the SD card.
* Fixed: properly quit the application gracefully when an handled exception occurs.
* Fixed: initial code refactoring.
* Removed: some redundant logs in the title loader.
* General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
'''v3.9.0 2025/04/14'''
* '''Fixed: the startup crash issue affecting all version since 3.8.0 has been identified and patched.'''
** Huge shoutout to achinech on Discord who volunteered to debug the issue on their console.
** If you still encounter startup crash issues, please notify the team immediately on [https://discord.gg/bGKEyfY Discord] and on GitHub issues.
* '''Fixed: cartridge scanning has been refactored to be way more efficient.'''
** Previously, the software used to poll the cartridge synchronously for every frame of the UI thread. Cartridge scanning is now happening on a separate thread which only runs twice per second.
* Added: a more advanced threading framework ported from PKSM.
* Added: networking support and an integrated HTTP server. This is currently used to provide real-time online access to the application logs, but this code will be useful for future features like self-updating.
* Added: more robust logging ported from PKSM. Logs are stored in the <code>/3ds/Checkpoint/logs</code> folder and are split by date.
** Logs are also accessible at runtime through the integrated HTTP server at the following addresses:
*** <code>http://3ds-ip-address:8000/logs/memory</code> for the logs of Checkpoint's current run
*** <code>http://3ds-ip-address:8000/logs/file</code> for all the logs for the current date
* Added: compiler optimizations are back. This includes link-time optimization and an upgrade from <code>O2</code> to <code>O3</code> compared to v.3.7.4.
* Fixed: better configuration file handling ported from PKSM.
* Fixed: better thread synchronization between UI thread and title loading thread.
* Fixed: wrap the entire program into try-catch blocks to prevent crashes caused by other unhandled exceptions in the future.
* Fixed: few graphics improvements.
* Fixed: readme has been updated with latest screenshots.
* General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
'''v3.8.2 2025/04/02'''
* Added: Initial upgrade from C++17 to C++20
* Added: Built with latest Sharkive's cheats repository
* Fixed: UI has been improved and rendering has been simplified in order to make the screen render faster
* Fixed: the color scheme has been improved (to my liking)
* Fixed: a crash when playing certain games and then going directly into checkpoint afterwards
* Fixed: logs on the Switch version are now split by day. This avoids keeping a huge <code>checkpoint.log</code> file after years of use.
** You can safely remove <code>/switch/Checkpoint/checkpoint.log</code>.
** You can find the new logs under <code>/switch/Checkpoint/logs</code> folder.
** Logs for the 3DS version will be added in the next releases.
* Fixed: dependencies have been updated to their latest version
* Fixed: displayed play time is now rendered correctly
* Fixed: L/R buttons double binding (thanks [https://github.com/Noxor11 @Noxor11])
* Fixed: source compilation (thanks [https://github.com/mrhappyasthma @mrhappyasthma] and [https://github.com/l-austenfeld @l-austenfeld])
* Removed: link time optimizations have been disabled.
** These were originally introduced to strip down some weight off the compiled executable, but the difference is too small to consider this feature useful. LTO has caused some trouble in v3.8.0 on the 3DS version.

'''v3.8.1 2025/03/23'''
* Updated dependencies to their latest version
* Disabled link time optimizations
* Initial upgrade from C++17 to C++20
* Built with latest Sharkive's cheats repository
* Fixed displayed play time
* Fixed L/R buttons double binding (thanks [https://github.com/Noxor11 @Noxor11])
* Fixed source compilation (thanks [https://github.com/mrhappyasthma @mrhappyasthma] and [https://github.com/l-austenfeld @l-austenfeld])

'''3.8.0 2021/11/13'''

3DS:
* Added: embedded Sharkive's cheat database has been updated.
** This counts ~2 years of cheat updates.
* Fixed: optional 3DS cartridge polling.
* Fixed: documentation.
* Stability improvements and tons of minor code improvements.

'''3.7.3 2019/10/26'''

3DS:
* Added: Checkpoint now shows the original icon for DS cartridges.
* Fixed: a very annoying crash during startup if you had a very little amount of games has been fixed.
* Fixed: latest cheats submissions are built in this release through Sharkive.
** If you have cheat codes that are not already available in this release, please submit them to Sharkive's databases here.
* Fixed: unused folders in the SD card are not created anymore.

'''3.7.1 2019/09/12'''

3DS:
* Fixed: hard crash on startup has been fixed.
** Card scanning has been permanently shut down for this release to mitigate the error.
** If you still encounter this issue, please file an issue on this repo so that we can research about it more.

'''3.7.0 2019/09/09'''

3DS:
* Added: Sharkive is now merged into Checkpoint. A brand new Cheat menu has been implemented inside Checkpoint to be able to manage cheats for Luma3DS.
** The entire cheat database is offline and bundled inside of Checkpoint. No more internet required, no more molasses slow loading times caused by cheat downloads.
** You're able to select and enable just the cheats you really want to have. This solves issues caused by cheat files too big to be fully displayed in Luma3DS' cheat engine.
** Cheat updates will happen when:
*** Checkpoint updates.
*** You build Checkpoint from source.
*** You build the cheat database and place it into the sd card in the expected location, so that it'll be loaded instead of the bundled one.
** This feature deprecates Sharkive.
* Added: ability to change play coins. Lots of you kept requesting this all the time. I don't know why you want this feature so much, but here it is. You can access it by hovering the Activity Log NAND title or by pressing SELECT + tapping the top-right corner.
* Added: redesigned UI. Enjoy it while it's fresh.
* Added: optional cartridge hotswap. You can now choose from the configuration if you want to be able to hotswap the cartridge while Checkpoint is running.
** This is disabled by default. Downside of this feature being enabled is that the UI slows down for a couple seconds before being responsive during boot time.
* Added: logging. Logs will be written to /3ds/Checkpoint/checkpoint.log.
** This feature deprecates JEDECheck.
* Fixed: cart is not cached anymore. This means cache won't be rebuilt every time you swap cartridges before running Checkpoint.
* Fixed: favorite sorting now works properly again.
* Fixed: cut down size of the executable. It now stores an entire cheat database inside of it (~1.6MB json), functionalities from other two different applications and still manages to be basically equal in size compared to the old stable release.
* Refactoring, refactoring, refactoring.

'''3.6.0 2019/01/01'''

3DS:
* Added: a check for *hax environment has been introduced to avoid Checkpoint loading without CFW.
* Fixed: buttons are now responsive as before while navigating the UI.
* Fixed: Extdata is now restored properly even when files change size.

* '''Fixed: startup time has been drastically improved: ~50% speedup on uncached boot, ~90% speedup on cached boot.'''
** This has been achieved by profiling the application boot process, and realizing that title cache persistence on the SD card took majority of the loading time.

** If you still encounter startup crash issues, please notify the team immediately on [https://discord.gg/bGKEyfY Discord] and on GitHub issues.
* '''Fixed: cartridge scanning has been refactored to be way more efficient.'''
** Previously, the software used to poll the cartridge synchronously for every frame of the UI thread. Cartridge scanning is now happening on a separate thread which only runs twice per second.
* Added: a more advanced threading framework ported from PKSM.
* Added: networking support and an integrated HTTP server. This is currently used to provide real-time online access to the application logs, but this code will be useful for future features like self-updating.
* Added: more robust logging ported from PKSM. Logs are stored in the <code>/3ds/Checkpoint/logs</code> folder and are split by date.
** Logs are also accessible at runtime through the integrated HTTP server at the following addresses:
*** <code>http://3ds-ip-address:8000/logs/memory</code> for the logs of Checkpoint's current run
*** <code>http://3ds-ip-address:8000/logs/file</code> for all the logs for the current date

* Fixed: UI has been improved and rendering has been simplified in order to make the screen render faster
* Fixed: the color scheme has been improved (to my liking)
* Fixed: a crash when playing certain games and then going directly into checkpoint afterwards
* Fixed: logs on the Switch version are now split by day. This avoids keeping a huge <code>checkpoint.log</code> file after years of use.
** You can safely remove <code>/switch/Checkpoint/checkpoint.log</code>.
** You can find the new logs under <code>/switch/Checkpoint/logs</code> folder.
** Logs for the 3DS version will be added in the next releases.
* Fixed: dependencies have been updated to their latest version
* Fixed: displayed play time is now rendered correctly
* Fixed: L/R buttons double binding (thanks [https://github.com/Noxor11 @Noxor11])
* Fixed: source compilation (thanks [https://github.com/mrhappyasthma @mrhappyasthma] and [https://github.com/l-austenfeld @l-austenfeld])
* Removed: link time optimizations have been disabled.
** These were originally introduced to strip down some weight off the compiled executable, but the difference is too small to consider this feature useful. LTO has caused some trouble in v3.8.0 on the 3DS version.

'''3.8.0 2021/11/13'''

3DS:
* Added: embedded Sharkive's cheat database has been updated.
** This counts ~2 years of cheat updates.
* Fixed: optional 3DS cartridge polling.
* Fixed: documentation.
* Stability improvements and tons of minor code improvements.

'''3.7.3 2019/10/26'''

3DS:
* Added: Checkpoint now shows the original icon for DS cartridges.
* Fixed: a very annoying crash during startup if you had a very little amount of games has been fixed.
* Fixed: latest cheats submissions are built in this release through Sharkive.
** If you have cheat codes that are not already available in this release, please submit them to Sharkive's databases here.
* Fixed: unused folders in the SD card are not created anymore.

'''3.7.1 2019/09/12'''

3DS:
* Fixed: hard crash on startup has been fixed.
** Card scanning has been permanently shut down for this release to mitigate the error.
** If you still encounter this issue, please file an issue on this repo so that we can research about it more.

'''3.7.0 2019/09/09'''

3DS:
* Added: Sharkive is now merged into Checkpoint. A brand new Cheat menu has been implemented inside Checkpoint to be able to manage cheats for Luma3DS.
** The entire cheat database is offline and bundled inside of Checkpoint. No more internet required, no more molasses slow loading times caused by cheat downloads.
** You're able to select and enable just the cheats you really want to have. This solves issues caused by cheat files too big to be fully displayed in Luma3DS' cheat engine.
** Cheat updates will happen when:
*** Checkpoint updates.
*** You build Checkpoint from source.
*** You build the cheat database and place it into the sd card in the expected location, so that it'll be loaded instead of the bundled one.
** This feature deprecates Sharkive.
* Added: ability to change play coins. Lots of you kept requesting this all the time. I don't know why you want this feature so much, but here it is. You can access it by hovering the Activity Log NAND title or by pressing SELECT + tapping the top-right corner.
* Added: redesigned UI. Enjoy it while it's fresh.
* Added: optional cartridge hotswap. You can now choose from the configuration if you want to be able to hotswap the cartridge while Checkpoint is running.
** This is disabled by default. Downside of this feature being enabled is that the UI slows down for a couple seconds before being responsive during boot time.
* Added: logging. Logs will be written to /3ds/Checkpoint/checkpoint.log.
** This feature deprecates JEDECheck.
* Fixed: cart is not cached anymore. This means cache won't be rebuilt every time you swap cartridges before running Checkpoint.
* Fixed: favorite sorting now works properly again.
* Fixed: cut down size of the executable. It now stores an entire cheat database inside of it (~1.6MB json), functionalities from other two different applications and still manages to be basically equal in size compared to the old stable release.
* Refactoring, refactoring, refactoring.

'''3.6.0 2019/01/01'''

3DS:
* Added: a check for *hax environment has been introduced to avoid Checkpoint loading without CFW.
* Fixed: buttons are now responsive as before while navigating the UI.
* Fixed: Extdata is now restored properly even when files change size.

A fast and simple homebrew save manager for [[Checkpoint 3DS|3DS]] and Switch written in C++.

Checkpoint is created following ideas of simplicity and efficiency. The UI has been designed to condense as many options as possible, while keeping it simple to work with.

Moreover, Checkpoint is extremely lightweight - while being packaged with a nice graphic user interface - and is built using the most recent libraries available.

Checkpoint for Switch natively supports NAND saves for the titles you have played. Title information are loaded automatically.

==Features==
* Saves for the titles you have played, with title information loaded automatically.
* A completely redesigned user interface, with light and dark mode theming.
* A Settings section to configure everything directly from the console: favorites, filters, additional save folders and more, with no manual file editing required.
* Internationalization support: English, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese.
* Fast, responsive file operations: backups and restores run on a worker thread, and backups can be cancelled while in progress.
* Additional save folders, configurable per title through a built-in folder browser.
* A background FTP server, to access your save backups directly from your PC.
* Wireless save transfer between consoles.
* An HTTP log server, to view Checkpoint's logs in real time from any browser on your network.
* A rendering backend built on deko3d, which makes the application ~70% smaller than before.
* 1080p docked mode support, alongside 720p in handheld.
* File-by-file verification after restore, and safer handling of large save restores.

==chlink==
Checkpoint comes with '''chlink''', a companion command line app for your PC that talks to Checkpoint's wireless save transfer feature. With chlink you can send save backups from your PC to the console and receive backups from the console to your PC, over your local network - no cables and no SD card swapping required.

Transfers are protected by a 4-digit PIN displayed on the console, and chlink automatically recognizes backups coming from a Checkpoint SD card layout, so title and backup information are filled in for you.

chlink is a single, dependency-free executable available for Windows, macOS and Linux. You can download it from the [https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint/releases/latest releases page], or build it yourself from the <code>tools/chlink</code> folder.

==Installation==
Place the .nro to the /switch/ folder on the SD card.

Checkpoint for Switch runs on homebrew launcher. Make sure you're running up-to-date payloads.

==User guide==
===Working path===
Checkpoint relies on the following folders to store the files it generates. Note that all the working directories are automatically generated on first launch (or when Checkpoint finds a new title that doesn't have a working directory yet).

*<code>sdmc:/switch/Checkpoint</code>: root path
*<code>sdmc:/switch/Checkpoint/logs</code>: log files
*<code>sdmc:/switch/Checkpoint/config.json</code>: custom configuration file
*<code>sdmc:/switch/Checkpoint/saves/<title id> <game title></code>: root path for all the save backups for a generic game

===Configuration===
You can configure Checkpoint directly from the console through the Settings section. All the options that used to require manual edits to the configuration file can now be managed from there. The <code>config.json</code> file is still stored in Checkpoint's working directory, but you're not required to touch it anymore.

===FTP server===
Checkpoint offers built-in server that allows for easy and fast save retrieval.

You can access connecting to <code>SWITCH_IP_ADDRESS:50000</code> with empty username and password.

===Troubleshooting===
Checkpoint displays error codes when something weird happens or operations fail. If you have any issues, please ensure they haven't already been addressed, and report the error code and a summary of your operations to reproduce it.

Additionally, you can receive real-time support by joining FlagBrew's [https://discord.gg/bGKEyfY Discord] server.

*Added: Sword & Shield PKSM Bridge support.
**This is a bonus feature for PKSM users. You can enable the PKSM Bridge functionality from the web configuration panel.
*Added: [https://github.com/FlagBrew/Sharkive embedded Sharkive's cheat database] has been updated.
**This counts ~2 years of cheat updates.
*Fixed: support for games containing character ū in their title.
*Fixed: documentation.
*Fixed: compilation with latest libraries (such as libnx 4.2.0).
*Stability improvements and tons of minor code improvements.

'''v3.7.4 2019/12/09'''
*Added compatibility for Atmosphere 0.10.0+. This changes the cheats path from <code>/atmosphere/titles</code> to <code>/atmosphere/contents</code>, so that means this version won't be able to put cheats in place for older Atmosphere versions.
*Fixed: the <code>Aborted by user</code> issue occurring when trying to perform a backup in Applet mode.
**This means that if you're running Checkpoint in Applet mode, you won't be prompted to decide a name for your backup and the default name will be used instead.
**This also solves incompatibilities for CFWs that don't properly support title takeover.
*Fixed: the Account Selection applet won't cause Checkpoint to hang anymore if using Applet mode, if you're running Atmosphere 0.10.0+.

'''v3.7.3 2019/10/26'''
*Fixed: built in FTP server is now able to open the Checkpoint folder, finally letting this feature to be useful for easy and fast save retrieval.
*Fixed: removed red watermark if Checkpoint was launched in applet mode.
**Pro Tip: you shouldn't launch Checkpoint or homebrew in general in applet mode anyways. Please don't.
*Fixed: latest cheats submissions are built in this release through Sharkive.
**If you have cheat codes that are not already available in this release, please submit them to Sharkive's databases here.
*Fixed: unused folders in the SD card are not created anymore.

'''v3.7.2 2019/09/15'''
*Fixed: build compiled with support for system version 9.0.0. Please update to Checkpoint 3.7.2+ in order to be able to run this software on system versions 9.0.0 or superior.
*Fixed: graphics fixes and routine dependancies updates.

'''v3.7.1 2019/09/12'''
*Added: Checkpoint can now run again under applet mode, but:
**It will be very annoying.
**Functionalities may not work properly and memory corruption may happen. Occasionally, the application could hang when trying to access one of the system applets.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1uxh6wsNLY Watch this video for an example].
**Please do not run Checkpoint in applet mode.
*Fixed: changed port of built in FTP server to 50000.

'''v3.7.0 2019/09/09'''
*Added: Sharkive feature for the Switch as well. A brand new Cheat menu has been implemented inside Checkpoint to be able to manage cheats for Atmosphere.
**The entire cheat database is offline and bundled inside of Checkpoint.
**You're able to select and enable just the cheats you really want to have. This is an alternative approach to cheat toggles.
**Cheat updates will happen when:
***Checkpoint updates.
***You build Checkpoint from source.
***You build the cheat database and place it into the sd card in the expected location, so that it'll be loaded instead of the bundled one.
*Added: Online configurations. You can now configure Checkpoint from your internet browser. Checkpoint will behave as an HTTP server while running.
**Connect to <code>SWITCH_IP_ADDRESS:8000</code> from any device connected to the same network as your Switch to be able to access configurations.
*Added: FTP server. You probably want to be able to get your saves out of the switch once they have been backed up. While I come up with handier solutions, enjoy this non blocking FTP server. You can access connecting to <code>SWITCH_IP_ADDRESS:5000</code> (As of v3.7.1, <code>SWITCH_IP_ADDRESS:50000</code>) with empty username and password.
*Added: redesigned UI. Enjoy it while it's fresh.
*Added: system keyboard support. The custom keyboard originally setup has been removed from Checkpoint to fully take advantage of the system keyboard applet.
*Added: switch pages with L/R.
*Added: logging. Logs will be written to <code>/switch/Checkpoint/checkpoint.log</code>.
*Fixed: favorite sorting now works properly again.
*Fixed: cut down size of the executable. It now stores an entire cheat database inside and still manages to be ~1MB lighter than the previous stable release.
*Fixed: Checkpoint doesn't run anymore if nx-hbmenu is launched over a system applet (like Album).
*Refactoring, refactoring, refactoring...

'''v3.6.0 2019/01/01'''
*Added: a bridge functionality between Checkpoint for Switch and [https://github.com/FlagBrew/PKSM PKSM] (for 3DS, v6.0.0 and above) has been implemented.
**It allows to send (and then receive back) a save file over the network, to allow manipulations without having to browse your save backups manually on your PC.
**It also needs to be manually enabled by editing your configuration file. Once it's enabled, you can access the bridge by pressing <code>L+R</code> on a valid game.
**This feature currently works only with LGPE.
*Fixed: buttons are now responsive as before while navigating the UI.
*Fixed: titles with black background are now displayed properly.
*Fixed: checkmark color doesn't confuse with title icons anymore.
*Fixed: text doesn't bleed textboxes like before anymore.

'''v3.5.0 2019/10/28'''
*Added support for Hardware Acceleration. Checkpoint now relies on the GPU to render graphics and text, removing load from the CPU.
**The interface now relies on SDL2 to render images and text.
**Text rendering is optimized by using a customized version of SDL_FontCache which caches glyphs in memory rather than creating textures every frame. This also allows to use the system font already available in the console.
**Checkpoint caches from PlSharedFontType_Standard and PlSharedFontType_NintendoExt fonts, so both regular characters and symbols are now supported to be rendered on screen.
*Added option to set a title as Favorite. You can now edit your configuration file to set a title id to be a favorite title, so this will always appear at the top of the title list.
*Fixed crashes caused by too many file descriptors opened.
*Key behaviour changed. ( thanks @IBNobody )
**You can now select rows in the backup list, creating backups and restoring a backup just with the button A.
**Pressing Y will select the current title but deactivate/reset the backup list. It will also enable the backup touch button only. Creating a backup will then disable the backup touch button. This makes it more clear to the user what buttons / UI elements are relevant to multi-backup.
*Fixed occasional crashes while changing account.
*Checkpoint now uses latest libnx 1.5.0, which supports timezone and fixes wrong default backup names if your console never connected to internet.
*Checkpoint is now compiled using C++17.

'''v3.4.2 2019/09/04'''
*Fix compatibility with certain games and CFWs. Now Checkpoint is fully compatible with custom firmwares using <code>fs_mitm</code>, <code>layeredfs</code> and other modules massively relying on file operations.
**Confirmed working on both hekate, Atmosphere and ReiNX using said modules.
**Other CFWs may be compatible as well, even if not directly tested.
**The issue was caused by a poorly optimized function to recursively delete folders, which has been now replaced by the one available on JKSV, too.
*Fixed configuration override after updating Checkpoint version.
*Avoid using a separate thread to populate titles.
*Default selected button for the homebrew keyboard is now <code>OK</code> (thanks @fennectech).

'''v3.4.1 2018/08/17'''
*Fixed corrupted save backup folders if your Account name contains non-ascii characters.
*You can now properly cancel a backup if you press B from the keyboard screen.
*Fixed parallel building.
*Code cleanup and multiple minor fixes.

*Once you've copied the directories to your SD Card you will need to place your ROM image(s) into /snes9xgx/roms/ directory.
*Cheat code files (optional) can be placed in /snes9xgx/cheats/ directory.
*Your SNES rom images must be in SMC, SFC, SWC, or FIG format.

Satellaview (BS-X):
*Snes9x GX supports loading BS games. The BSX BIOS is not required.
*If you wish to use one, download the English + No DRM BS-X ROM [https://project.satellaview.org/downloads.htm here].
*Put it in your snes9xgx folder, renamed to BS-X.bin.

===Channel installer===
* You must have IOS58 to use this channel. Either upgrade to System Menu 4.3, or use the IOS58 Installer.

==User guide==
=== Loading games from DVD ===
ROMs can be burned to a DVD-/+R (4.7GB max size & ISO 9660 file format).

=== Loading games via SMB ===
Using the emulator via network requires that your Wii is configured for your wireless network, and that you've set up a file share. You must provide a username, password, share name, and IP address to log in to the file server (in settings.xml). This XML file is created for you upon first loading the emulator and entering/exiting Preferences. Here's an example snippet for your XML configuration file:

<section name="Network" description="Network Settings">
<setting name="smbip" value="192.168.4.19" description="Share Computer IP" />
<setting name="smbshare" value="wiifiles" description="Share Name" />
<setting name="smbuser" value="yourusername" description="Share Username" />
<setting name="smbpwd" value="yourpassword" description="Share Password" />
</section>

Also be sure to mirror the required directory structure within your share folder, or change the LoadFolder and SaveFolder values in the XML file. See the [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Tinysmb tinysmb] page for additional information and troubleshooting.

===Button Mappings===
Once in the Button Mappings settings menu you'll have the option to pick to configure the SNES Controller, Super Scope, SNES Mouse and the Justifier.

Once you select a controller to configure you will be presented with which input device you would like to configure. To set the button simply click on the input device you wish to use and then pick the button you wish to map.

=== Cheats ===
By default, cheats are loaded from /snes9xgx/cheats/.

Cheat files must be placed in the cheats folder and named identically to the ROM name, except with a CHT extension. After putting the cheat file in the proper place and naming it correctly, you can access cheats in-game by pressing Home after loading a game. A Cheats menu option should be available.

You can find cheat files (CHT) on [http://www.cheatzilla.com/ CheatZILLA] and [http://www.zophar.net/cheats/snes.html zsnes mirror].

=== Language patches ===
IPS/UPS files must be placed in the same folder as the ROM you are loading, and named identically to the ROM name, except with the extension.

They will be loaded automatically upon loading the game.

==Controls==
Supported controllers are:
*GameCube Controller - SNES Controller, Super Scope, Super NES Mouse, Konami Justifier.
*Wiimote - SNES Controller, Super Scope, Super NES Mouse, Konami Justifier.
*Wiimote & Nunchuck - SNES Controller.
*Classic Controller - SNES Controller.

* Open Source.

== Installation ==
If you are using the [[Homebrew Channel Wii|Homebrew Channel]] just copy the apps directory from the archive to the root of your SD card.

By default, roms are loaded from fceugx/roms/ and saves or preferences are stored in fceugx/saves/.

You can load roms from SD card (Front SD or SD Gecko), USB, DVD, or SMB share. Note that if you are using the Homebrew Channel, to load from USB, DVD, or SMB you will first have to load FCEUGX from SD, and then set your load method preference.

If you are planning to use your Network (LAN) to load and/or save games from you will need to enter in the SMB share settings you haveve setup on your computer via the Settings menu. You will need to enter in the SMB Share IP, Share Name, Share Username and Share Password.

=== Channel installer ===
This channel requires IOS58. You must have Wifi access on your Wii (to run IOS58 Installer) or a Game Disc with System Menu 4.3. If you do not have a Game Disc to update to System Menu 4.3 or Wifi access on your Wii, you can use the PC program NUS Downloader to download IOS58 to your computer, then install offline on your Wii.

You must have [[Homebrew Channel Wii|Homebrew Channel]] 1.0.8+ running on IOS58 to run the installer. If HBC is not using IOS58, reinstall it. This channel tries load apps/fceugx/boot.dol from SD or USB. You must have FCE Ultra GX installed in one of these locations.

== User guide ==
=== Loading game from DVD ===
ROMs can be burned to a DVD-/+R (4.7GB max size & ISO 9660 file format).

=== Loading game via SMB ===
Using the emulator via network requires that your Wii is configured for your wireless network, and that you've set up a file share. You must provide a username, password, share name, and IP address to log in to the file server (in settings.xml). This XML file is created for you upon first loading the emulator and entering/exiting Preferences. Here's an example snippet for your XML configuration file:

<section name="Network" description="Network Settings">
<setting name="smbip" value="192.168.4.19" description="Share Computer IP" />
<setting name="smbshare" value="wiifiles" description="Share Name" />
<setting name="smbuser" value="yourusername" description="Share Username" />
<setting name="smbpwd" value="yourpassword" description="Share Password" />
</section>

Also be sure to mirror the required directory structure within your share folder, or change the LoadFolder and SaveFolder values in the XML file. See the [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Tinysmb tinysmb] page for additional information and troubleshooting.

=== FDS Games ===
To be able to load FDS games, FCE Ultra GX need the FDS BIOS. Put it in your /fceugx folder, and name it disksys.rom (should be 8 KB in size).

You can switch disks using the A button (by default). The mapped button can be changed under Controller Configuration ('Special' button).

Compatibility is limited, so check that the game in question works on FCE Ultra for Windows before asking for help.

===3D game support===
Supported Famicom 3D System games:
* Highway Star.
* Famicom Grand Prix II.
* 3D Hot Rally.
* JJ (Tobidase Daisakusen Part 2).
* Cosmic Epsilon.
* Attack Animal Gakuen.

Supported anaglyph games:
* The 3-D Battles of World Runner (Tobidase Daisakusen).
* Rad Racer.

== Installation ==
===How to install===
Unzip the archive. You will find the following folders inside:
*apps Contains Homebrew Channel ready files.
*vbagx Contains the directory structure required for storing roms and saves.

If you are using the [[Homebrew Channel Wii|Homebrew Channel]] just extract the zip file to the root of your SD card. If you are using another loader use the executables/vbagx_wii.dol.

By default, roms are loaded from vbagx/roms/; saves and preferences are stored in vbagx/saves/.

Your ROMs must be in .gb, .gbc or .gba format.

===Wii Channel===
wilsoff and MrNick666 were gracious enough to create an official Wii Channel. You can find it on the [https://github.com/dborth/vbagx/releases Downloads] page.

Prerequisites:
*You must have IOS58 to use this channel. Either upgrade to System Menu 4.3, or use the IOS58 Installer.
*You must have Homebrew Channel 1.0.8+ running on IOS58 to run the installer. If HBC is not using IOS58, reinstall it.
*This channel tries load /apps/vbagx/boot.dol from SD or USB. You must have Visual Boy Advance GX installed in one of these locations.

To install it, copy the installer files to your SD/USB device, launch the installer from HBC and click Install.

==User guide==
===Loading games===
From DVD - ROMs can be burned to a DVD-/+R (4.7GB max size & ISO 9660 file format).

From Network (using SMB) - Using the emulator via network requires that your Wii is configured for your wireless network, and that you've set up a file share. You must provide a username, password, share name, and IP address to log in to the file server (in settings.xml). This XML file is created for you upon first loading the emulator and entering/exiting Preferences. Here's an example snippet for your XML configuration file:

<section name="Network" description="Network Settings">
<setting name="smbip" value="192.168.4.19" description="Share Computer IP" />
<setting name="smbshare" value="wiifiles" description="Share Name" />
<setting name="smbuser" value="yourusername" description="Share Username" />
<setting name="smbpwd" value="yourpassword" description="Share Password" />
</section>

Also be sure to mirror the required directory structure within your share folder, or change the LoadFolder and SaveFolder values in the XML file. See the [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Tinysmb tinysmb] page for additional information and troubleshooting.

===Language patches===
To apply language patches (IPS/UPS) to a Gameboy Advance ROM, place the corresponding IPS file in the ROM's folder with an identical name, but with the IPS extension.

These patches can add color to monochrome games, translate games, or remove the need for special hardware. You can find patches online, and many fan translations are available in IPS or UPS formats. Simply place the patch file in the /vbagx/roms folder alongside the ROM. Ensure the patch shares the same name as the ROM and is not inside a ZIP file.

'''Note:''' You must not use patched versions of Boktai roms (except for the translation patch for Boktai 3, which is highly recommended). The patches are for old emulators that don't support the solar sensor. VBA GX and NO$GBA support the solar sensor natively, and the patch will stop them from working.

===Super Game Boy borders===
VBA-GX has supported Super Game Boy borders since 2.3.1. You can enable this feature in the Emulation settings on the main menu.

Borders can be loaded from two locations:

* PNG files in the borders folder (by default, /vbagx/borders).
* The game itself.

Borders are loaded from the game when the emulator is in Super Game Boy mode, and the border setting in Emulation settings is set to "From game (SGB only)." You can also force SGB mode for Game Boy Color games in the Emulation settings. If the borders folder exists, but no border for the game is present, the loaded Super Game Boy border will be written to a .png file, which can be loaded later in "From .png file" mode.

If the borders folder exists, but doesn't contain a border for the game, the first border loaded from the game will be saved as a PNG file. This allows using the same border in Game Boy Color mode after running the game in SGB mode.

When the border setting is set to "From .png file," borders up to 640x480 can be loaded from the borders folder, compatible with both Game Boy (Color) and Game Boy Advance games.

For both loading and saving, the PNG filename is [TITLE].png, where [TITLE] is the ROM title defined at 0x134 (for GB games) or 0xA0 (for GBA games). For example, POKEMON_SFXAAXE.png corresponds to Pokémon Silver. If no PNG file with that name is found, VBA-GX will attempt to load default.png (for GB games) or defaultgba.png (for GBA games).

Since borders are part of the video output, the pixels in the border match the size of the game pixels. This results in a Game Boy game appearing within the central 160x144 pixels of the border, and a Game Boy Advance game occupying the middle 240x160 pixels, regardless of the resolution of the border PNG image.

===Editing palettes===
Games for Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Color, and Super Gameboy are already in color, with no impact from palette changes. However, some Super Gameboy games are in greyscale and cannot be altered. Monochrome original Gameboy games had four shades of grey, and VBA-Wii allows users to define custom color palettes for these games.

VBA Wii comes with default palettes for specific games and a default palette for others, featuring a green background, white status bar, red sprites, and blue sprites. You can edit these palettes or switch to black and white mode. Palette editing can be done manually by editing the "sd:\apps\vbagx\palette.xml" file.

To switch between black and white and palette mode, go to the HOME menu while in a game, select "Game Settings," then "Video," and click on "Colorize Mono GB." Notably, "Megaman 1" remains in black and white to prevent flashing.

To edit the palette for the current game, access the HOME menu, choose "Game Settings," then "Video," and click on "Choose Palette" to enter the Palette Editor.

====Palette editor====
The Palette Editor divides colors into four columns based on brightness. Background, window, OBJ (sprites with palette 0), and SPR (sprites with palette 1). Clicking on any color opens a color editor window allowing adjustments in red, green, and blue.

You change a colour by choosing how much red, green, and blue are mixed together. You can only go up or down 8 at a time. It is in hexadecimal, which means it goes up to F instead of up to 9. F means 15.

*red+green+blue = white
*red+green = yellow
*two parts red, one part green = orange
*dark orange is brown, especially if you mix in a bit of blue
*red+blue = magenta (pinkish purple)
*two parts blue, one part red = purple
*two parts red, one part blue = hot pink
*green+blue = cyan (bright blue/green)
*two parts blue, one part green = light blue
*To make a colour paler, mix in a little bit of all the other colours

Clicking "load / save" saves palette changes, although they are automatically saved when closing the editor.

The palette might appear distorted in-game after editing until the game changes palettes. To resolve this, save and restart the game, pause and resume, or try moving the sprite to the far left of the screen.

====palette.xml====
After the emulator generates the palette.xml file through playing a monochrome game, you can manually edit it to modify the default palette. This allows setting specific games to Black and White mode.

Game names in the file are based on the ROM's internal name, not the filename (so the setting will apply to the same game across different regions). "Use" set to "1" activates palette mode for a game, while "0" ensures it remains in black and white.

Colors are defined in hexadecimal (0xRRGGBB). VBA-Wii uses 15-bit color, so you need to round the last digit down to 8 or 0. Note that if palette support is ported to other platforms, then they might not be rounded on those platforms.

}}
TomoToolNX is a Nintendo Switch homebrew tool for editing Tomodachi Life save data directly from the console. Both WebUI and on-Switch modes are supported.

The project is based on [https://gamebanana.com/tools/22435 LivinTheDreamToolkit] by the UGC editor contributors. Mii sharing is based on [https://github.com/Star-F0rce/ShareMii ShareMii] by Star-F0rce. The save-file parser, generated data tables (wishes, habits, clothes, coordinates, treasures), Map.sav schema hashes, UGC kind table, housing-edit safety rules, and the Custom BC1/BC3 texture encoder are derived from [https://github.com/alexislours/ltd-save-editor alexislours/ltd-save-editor] (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Early reference for save key hashes came from [https://github.com/tlmodding/ltd-gamedata tlmodding/ltd-gamedata].

== Features ==
* '''Textures''' — swap any UGC texture (FacePaint, Food, Goods, Thumbs) by importing a PNG. Images are resized, alpha-cleaned, and re-encoded automatically.
* '''Miis''' — edit just about everything visible: stats, words, habits, belongings, relationships, housing, and the social graph. Import / export individual Miis as <code>.ltd</code> files.
* '''TomodachiShare''' — browse the online catalogue, search and filter, preview, and download shared Miis directly into a save slot.
* '''Player save''' — adjust the global player fields: name, island, money, currency, birthday, region, languages, wishes, fountain, island size, and more.
* '''Map''' — view your island as a 120×80 tile grid, click any object to inspect and edit its position, rotation, linked map ID, or which Miis live in it; place new objects or remove existing ones. Works on both the WebUI and the on-Switch controller / touch UI.
* '''Backups''' — your save is copied to the SD card before any edit, and every texture import keeps a per-file backup. Restore from inside the app.
* '''MTP over USB''' — the SD card mounts as a USB drive while the WebUI is running (via [https://github.com/ITotalJustice/libhaze libhaze]).
* '''Translations''' — both the WebUI and the on-Switch UI can be translated by editing plain text files. Contributions welcome.
* '''Update check''' — on launch, lets you know when a newer release is up on GitHub.

== Installation ==
Copy <code>TomoToolNX.nro</code> to <code>/switch/TomoToolNX/</code> on your SD card and launch from the homebrew menu.

== User guide ==
Launch the app, pick a user account, decide what to do with any existing save backup, then choose a mode:
* WebUI — starts a local HTTP server. Open <code>http://<switch-ip>:8080</code> on any device on the same network and edit from the browser. The SD card also mounts over USB while the server is running.
* On-Switch — browse and edit directly with the controller. Tabs are switched with L / R (or ZL / ZR); each tab shows its own controls at the bottom of the screen.

Press B to back out at any point. The app prompts before discarding unsaved changes.

A few notes on textures: PNGs are auto-resized to the target format, a transparent background with clean edges gives the best result, and encoding is sRGB-aware to match the game's color reproduction. The default Custom encoder is a faithful port of [https://github.com/alexislours/ltd-save-editor ltd-save-editor]'s BC1/BC3 encoder; a faster PCA-only fallback is available in the settings.

Switch Funkin' is a port of [https://github.com/ShadowMario/FNF-PsychEngine Psych Engine] 1.0.4 (a [https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/770371 Friday Night Funkin'] engine) for the Nintendo Switch. It is not a recreation or inspiration, but the real [https://haxeflixel.com/ HaxeFlixel] engine running on the Switch.

This is made possible through [https://github.com/Slushi-Github/lime-nx Lime-NX], an experimental fork of Lime that allows compiling Lime/OpenFL projects for the Nintendo Switch using DevKitPro and DevKitA64.

Notes:
* Video playback is not supported, as there is currently no way to get hxvlc working on the Switch target.
* The engine cannot cache all assets, so loading screens can be slow — even reloading the game over screen a second time can be slow. This appears to be a limitation of how the game is compiled for this platform, and might be fixed in the future by not depending on OpenFL for that.
* Keyboard and mouse input are not supported on the Switch; this appears to be something HorizonOS (the Nintendo Switch operating system) prevents, or at least does not allow by default.
* The Nintendo Switch hardware dates from around 2016 with 4 GB of RAM, so performance-heavy mods may require optimization. [https://github.com/FunkinCrew/Funkin V-Slice] would likely perform better than Psych Engine, but its complexity makes it impractical to maintain for the Switch (there is an [https://github.com/FunkinNXTeam/Funkin unfinished attempt] to do so); this is why Psych Engine was chosen, in addition to it being the FNF engine the developer knows best and prefers.
* Mods that use special mechanics requiring extra keys will need modifications to support controllers.
* This engine is not expected to compile for other platforms. Compilation has been kept working for at least Linux, but the engine has been modified specifically to work well with the Nintendo Switch.

== Features ==
* Full Psych Engine 1.0.4 functionality on the Nintendo Switch
* HScript and Lua scripting support
* Shader support
* Mod folder support (works the same as standard Psych Engine)
* Touchscreen hitbox support for playing
* Available on the Homebrew App Store for direct download to the console

== Installation ==
Download the latest release from [https://github.com/Slushi-Github/Switch-Funkin/releases GitHub], [https://github.com/Slushi-Github/Switch-Funkin/actions GitHub Actions], [https://gamebanana.com/tools/21807 GameBanana], or the [https://hb-app.store/switch/FNFSwitchFunkin Homebrew App Store].

The Homebrew App Store option allows downloading the game directly to the console; it's the easiest way to get the game and future updates, by searching for it in the HBAS client on the Switch.

For manual installation, place the <code>.nro</code> file from the downloaded ZIP into the <code>switch</code> folder on the console's SD card. Then open the Homebrew Menu from an official game (by holding the R button while launching a game from the HOME menu), find "FNF: Switch Funkin'", and open it. An NSP file for installing directly to the console without using the Homebrew Menu is not currently offered.

== Mods ==
After opening the game at least once, a <code>Switch-Funkin</code> folder will be created inside the <code>switch</code> folder on the SD card. Inside it, there is a <code>mods</code> folder which works exactly like normal Psych Engine. The folder also contains crash logs, shader error logs, and the <code>saves</code> folder, which stores save data using the standard [https://haxeflixel.com/documentation/flxsave/ HaxeFlixel save format].

Super Bubble Builder is a PC application for Windows XP or higher that creates stylish individual bubbles for retro games on PlayStation Vita.

== User guide ==
Super Bubble Builder comes in a .zip file. Inside is Super Bubble Builder's folder.

The <code>assets</code> subfolder contains sample images and a PNG palette reducer. To make a bubble with the app, use either all 3 images or only <code>icon0.png</code>. The images must be <code>.png</code> files and must be the correct size.

Required and optional image sizes:
* <code>128x128</code> PNG with 256 palette named <code>icon0.png</code>.
* <code>280x158</code> PNG with 256 palette named <code>startup.png</code> (optional).
* <code>840x500</code> PNG with 256 palette named <code>bg.png</code> (optional).

Place the images in the <code>assets</code> folder before running Super Bubble Builder. If <code>startup.png</code> or <code>bg.png</code> are missing, it will proceed with only <code>icon0.png</code>, and the Vita will generate the rainbow background.

To reduce a PNG's palette to 256, drag it to the batch script in the <code>assets</code> folder called <code>Drag PNG here to reduce palette to 256.bat</code>.

If the images in the GUI are messed up, right click the program and choose: Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings, enable Override high DPI scaling behavior performed by: and set it to System.

== Changelog ==
'''v2.1'''
* Disabled "DPI Scale" so that it can run on high resolution monitors without breaking.
* Fixed a typo in the size needed for startup.png.
'''v2.0'''
* Made the .exe in ahk2exe instead of making it manually, which may fix the error some people got when trying to download it
* Added Pico-8 (FAKE-08) support
* Fixed where building the vpk would crash cmd mid-build when trying to add an impossible character to a filename: <code>\/:*?"<>|</code>
* These symbols will now become "_" in the vpk name, but should still show up properly for Vita apptitles
* Removed name and date from top right of builder window, in case anyone else were to make their own version of this app

'''v1.0'''
Initial Release

Port of the Android release of Hill Climb Racing for PS Vita.

== Installation ==
'''Instructions:'''
*Install [[Kubridge Vita|Kubridge]] and [[FdFix Vita|FdFix]] by copying <code>kubridge.skprx</code> and <code>fd_fix.skprx</code> to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually <code>ur0:tai</code>) and adding two entries to your <code>config.txt</code> under *KERNEL:
<pre> *KERNEL
ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx
ur0:tai/fd_fix.skprx</pre>
*Note: Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using rePatch plugin.
*Make sure you have <code>libshacccg.suprx</code> in the ur0:/data/ folder on your console. If you don't, follow [https://samilops2.gitbook.io/vita-troubleshooting-guide/shader-compiler/extract-libshacccg.suprx this guide] to extract it.
*Lwgally obtain your copy of [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingersoft.hillclimb&hl=en Hill Climb Racing] version 1.24.0 for Android in form of an .apk file.
*Open the .apk with any zip explorer (like [https://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip]) and extract <code>assets</code> folder from the .apk into <code>ux0:data/hcr</code>. Also, extract <code>libgame.so</code> from <code>lib/armeabi-v7a/</code> in the same directory.
*Place the .apk< itself inside <code>ux0:data/hcr</code> and rename to <code>base.apk</code>.
*Install hcr.vpk (from [https://github.com/memory-hunter/hill-climb-racing-vita/releases/latest Releases]).

'''Folder layout:'''
<pre> └── hcr/
├── assets/
├── libgame.so
└── base.apk</pre>

(Note: Remove ux0:data/hcr/gxp and ux0:data/shader_cache/HCR00000 folders when updating to the new version.)

== Controls ==
L/R - Brake/Accelerate

Circle - Back

==Screenshots==

https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/images/HillClimbRacingVita-02.png

==Known issues==
* Before the game jumps to the loading screen after launching it, or after finishing a play session, don't quit the game immediately.
** Wait for around 3 seconds and then quit, otherwise your game may crash or your save data may be corrupted.
** If you still happen to crash/corrupt your save file, there is a backup inside <code>ux0:/data/hcr</code> folder with the name <code>SharedPreferences.bin.bak</code>. Simply remove the <code>.bak</code> by renaming and the game should work again, but some progress may be lost.
* When selecting levels or cars, wait until it responds, because it's loading things in the background.
* There is a moment after lots of gameplay, that when you get to the death screen, the game will start lagging and you will have massive FPS drop. It is yet to be figured out why does this happen.
** It is recommended to patiently wait until you can proceed to the selection menu, and restart the game.
** Else, just restart the game in the middle of the laggy sequence, but progress will be lost.

See [https://github.com/memory-hunter/hill-climb-racing-vita/issues Issues] for currently know problems.

==Changelog==
'''beta3'''
* [https://github.com/memory-hunter/hill-climb-racing-vita/issues/1 #1] is still a problem, and it is a VRAM issue, something leaks, memory fills up and then stuttering begins. This version the game feel more smoother, and it takes longer to reach the point where the lagging/crashing starts, so you can have longer gameplay sessions. In my testing, 5 minutes of gameplay is possible with changing multiple stages and vehicles.
* [https://github.com/memory-hunter/hill-climb-racing-vita/issues/2 #2] is sort of reintroduced if you use 1.24.0, the engine sound doesn't work if the level isn't restarted.
'''beta2'''
* Fixes [https://github.com/memory-hunter/hill-climb-racing-vita/issues/2 #2].
* Before the start of the game, the savedata is backed up in the <code>ux0:/data/hcr</code> folder as <code>SharedPreferences.bin.bak</code>. If you happen to crash the game while a load/save happens, and then you try entering the game again but it crashes, delete the current <code>SharedPreferences.bin</code> file, copy over the <code>.bak</code> file and remove the <code>.bak</code> from the name.
* New livearea assets.

'''beta1'''
* First Release.

This is a fork of [[Adrenaline Vita|Adrenaline]] for the PS Vita.

Adrenaline is a software that modifies the official PSP Emulator using [https://github.com/yifanlu/taiHEN taiHEN CFW framework] to make it run a PSP 6.61 custom firmware. Thanks to the power of taiHEN, Adrenaline can inject custom code into the IPL which allows unsigned code to run at boottime.

== Installation ==
=== How to update ===
If you have already been using Adrenaline, simply open Adrenaline.vpk as zip file and copy all modules from sce_module to ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module.

Alternatively, use "System update" from XMB and follow instructions.

=== How to install ===
Please only do this approach for a fresh installation, otherwise please refer to the guide above.

* Remove the Adrenaline bubble and the <code>ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/adrenaline_kernel.skprx</code> path from the taiHEN config.txt and finally reboot your device.
* Download [https://github.com/isage/Adrenaline/releases Adrenaline.vpk] and install it using [[VitaShell]].
* Launch Adrenaline and press Cross to download the 6.61 firmware. After finishing it will automatically terminate.
* Relaunch Adrenaline, this time it will go into pspemu mode. Follow the instructions on screen.

=== Getting rid of double launch bug ===
Adrenaline has been redesigned in <code>6.61 Adrenaline-6</code>, so you'd need to launch Adrenaline twice everytime you reboot your device. To get rid of that, simply write this line to <code>*KERNEL</code>

*KERNEL
ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/adrenaline_kernel.skprx

=== Manuals for ISO games ===
Adrenaline now supports displaying manuals for ISO-format games:

# Obtain/create DOCUMENT.DAT for you game.
# Rename it to <your_iso_name>.DAT and place next to it. E.g.: if you have <code>ux0:/pspemu/ISO/MYGAME.iso</code> name your manual <code>ux0:/pspemu/ISO/MYGAME.DAT</code>

Geometrizer is a Sega Model 1 arcade-board emulator written in C11, targeting Virtua Racing, running on macOS and the PlayStation Vita. The project is described first and foremost as a playground for AI-assisted development: most of its code is written by an AI coding agent iterating against real hardware, reference traces, and an emulator oracle, with the goal of testing how far an AI can drive a difficult, low-level systems project — including cycle-accurate CPU cores, a custom geometry DSP, a software 3D pipeline, and a GPU renderer built from scratch for a 2012 handheld.

Its status is listed as experimental / work-in-progress, with Virtua Racing reported to boot, render, and play on both target platforms.

== Features ==
'''Architecture'''
* V60 — NEC V60 main CPU (16 MHz), variable-length ISA, with both interpreter and DRC/JIT execution
* TGP — MB86233 geometry DSP handling 3D transform/lighting/clipping with custom non-IEEE floating point, also with interpreter and DRC execution
* Bus — a 32-region address map mapping to flat memory or I/O callbacks
* Video — a display-list pipeline (parse → transform → light → clip → Z-sort → rasterize) plus S24 tilemaps for the HUD
* Sound — M68000 CPU, YM3438 sound chip, two MultiPCM chips, and an optional DSB, all command-driven over a UART
* Each CPU runs in its own cooperative libco fiber, scheduled round-robin with timeslices proportional to clock rate

'''PlayStation Vita build (performance-focused, vitasdk/vitaGL)'''
* vitaGL (GLES2) backend rendering directly to the framebuffer
* GPU-side geometry, moving object transform/project/clip/cull into a vertex shader, with the opaque pass using a per-object draw path
* GPU-rendered S24 HUD/background tilemaps using native Cg integer shaders with FBO caching
* Sound processing (M68000 plus sound chips) run on its own dedicated thread
* An overlapped emulation/video pipeline, where the emulator runs on a dedicated worker core while the main thread submits GL output for the previous frame
* Platform-specific glue including libco built on SceFiber, JIT code/data placed in a VM memory domain, deferred present, and runtime tuning via trigger files stored in ux0:data/geometrizer/

MOTHER: Encore (ACT 2) - PS Vita Port is a native PlayStation Vita port of MOTHER: Encore, a free fan-made reimagining of MOTHER 1, adapted from its original Godot Engine PC release. The repository contains the source patches, control rewrites, and tooling created to make the game run natively on PS Vita hardware. The port is based on MOTHER: Encore ACT 2 - v0.4.0.3 (Windows), with the original game created by Pkdotts and team.

==About The Game==
MOTHER: Encore is a free, unofficial fan reimagining of MOTHER 1 and is not affiliated with Nintendo or Shigesato Itoi. It is described as offering a uniquely different experience from the original and is not intended as a replacement for it. This PS Vita port is likewise unofficial and non-commercial; MOTHER: Encore is redistributed under its MIT license, with full credit to the original authors.

In the story, set in 1988 in a small rural American town, a boy named Ninten wakes up to strange phenomena — objects coming to life, animals going wild, people vanishing, and a shadowy cloud atop Mt. Itoi. Equipped with PSI powers and following his Great Grandfather's footsteps, Ninten sets out to uncover these mysteries, collecting Eight Melodies and exploring dungeons along the way. The game is made entirely from the ground up using the Godot Engine and currently contains 2 of a planned 8 total Acts, each intended as a content update adding new areas. The project is directed by Pkdotts.

At the time of this release, overall progress on the PS Vita port is listed at approximately 55%, running on Godot 3.5 RC5, and its state is described as "Playable," with the accompanying note: "Bugs, crashes, poor performance, but it's playable (I guess)."

== Installation ==
Every release ships two files: the .vpk (the app itself) and a -GameData.zip (the game data, i.e. game_data/game.pck). Both are required.

# Head to the Releases tab.
# Download the latest MotherEncore-Vita-x.x.x.vpk and MotherEncore-Vita-x.x.x-GameData.zip.
# Install the .vpk on the PS Vita using VitaShell or FMVita (a personalized VitaShell fork by the same author).
# Extract the -GameData.zip to get a game_data folder containing game.pck.
# Connect the Vita via FTP or USB and copy the game_data folder into <code>ux0:app/MOTHER001/</code>, so that the file ends up exactly at <code>ux0:app/MOTHER001/game_data/game.pck</code>.

When updating, both the new .vpk and the new -GameData.zip should always be installed together, since a newer VPK is not guaranteed to work with an older game.pck, and vice versa. Save files are not lost when uninstalling or updating, as they are stored under <code>ux0:data/godot/app_userdata/MOTHER Encore/...</code>.

== Controls ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Control !! Action
|-
| Up / Down / Left / Right or Left Analog Stick || Move
|-
| Cross (X) || Confirm / Interact
|-
| Triangle || Menu
|-

|-
| R1 || Next party member
|-
| Touchscreen, left half (emulated L2) || Scope / markers
|-

|}

The PS Vita has no physical L2/R2 (nor L3/R3) buttons; these are emulated by touching the left and right halves of the front touchscreen.

== Improvements & Adaptations for the PS Vita ==
Since this port is based on the Godot version, several parts of the game were reworked to make it feel native on the console and fit within the Vita's ~365 MB memory budget:

'''Memory & loading (boot crash fix):'''
* Lazy UI loading – the UI manager previously preloaded around 11 heavy scenes (battle system, shops, storage, ATM, save/keyboard/ocarina screens, dialogue boxes) at boot; these now load on demand.
* Lazy map loading – maps now load individually when opened, instead of every map being instanced at startup.
* Result: boot RAM usage dropped from 365/365 MB (an out-of-memory crash) to around 181/365 MB, letting the game boot to the title screen and beyond.

'''Data packaging:'''
* The game is fully data-driven (900+ .yaml/.ecs/.dat files). These raw data files were explicitly included in the Vita export so the runtime stops looping on missing data.

'''Engine compatibility (Godot 3.6 → 3.5 Vita fork):'''
* Replaced a Godot 3.6-only API call (is_node_ready) with its 3.5 equivalent and restored a dropped class_name registration from the decompile.

'''Controls and input:'''
* Gamepad-first prompts – on-screen prompts show real PS Vita buttons instead of PC keyboard keys by default.
* Touch L2/R2 – the Vita's missing L2/R2 buttons are mapped to the left/right halves of the touchscreen.
* PC hints removed – the title screen's "Fullscreen (F11) / Window Size (F5)" hints are hidden on console.

'''Display:'''
* Adapted the game to the Vita's 960×544 screen.

== Known Issues ==
This is described as an early technical beta, with the following rough edges noted:
* Battle crashes – the game still crashes when entering the first battle; a fix is planned for the next version.
* Performance – GPU load is high and frame rate is currently low in the overworld/title screen; performance tuning is still in progress.
* Some scenes are still being optimized for the PowerVR GPU.
* Three unrecoverable developer/joke dialogue sheets from the decompile (Snowman, Testing, shitpost) were removed, as they are not part of normal gameplay.

==Changelog==
'''v0.2b'''
* Fixed touch L2/R2: touching the left/right half of the screen now correctly presses L2 (Scope) and R2 (Crouch/Telepathy) in-game, not just on the polling checks.

'''v0.1b'''
* First Release.

* Users are encouraged to support the original developers and the official MOTHER series.
* Main tools used in creating this port:
** [https://github.com/GDRETools/gdsdecomp GDRE Tools] – used to extract the original PCK from the free Windows release so the project could be reconstructed and opened in the Godot Engine.
** [https://github.com/SonicMastr/godot-vita Godot PSVita] – used to compile the final .vpk for the Vita and adapt the essential game/engine files for the console.
** [https://github.com/xyzz/vita-parse-core vita-parse-core] – used to symbolicate and analyze the Vita crash dumps (.psp2dmp) to trace the boot crash down to an out-of-memory condition.

noled is a simple plugin to turn off PS Vita status LEDs, especially useful at night. On the Vita 1000 the plugin turns off the home button LED and the game card LED (autodetected classic behavior). This fork adds the first known software control of the PCH-2000 (Vita Slim / Vita 2000) green power LED, a feature requested in rereprep/noled#3 since 2018 and previously unsolved. On the Vita 2000 the power LED is kept dark whenever the console is on, while the orange charging indication is preserved. The behavior is fully automatic and requires no configuration.

The LED is not a SoC GPIO; it hangs off the syscon MCU ("Ernie") and is driven by its autonomous power/charge policy, which is why every GPIO-based approach failed for years. The off switch is <code>ksceSysconCtrlLedBlinkType2</code> (syscon command <code>0x89F</code>): an off-pattern for device 1 parks the indicator dark, and claiming the engine's single pattern slot for device 0 releases it back to syscon policy. The plugin reads no config and writes no files at all; removing it from the taiHEN config (plus a reboot) restores everything stock.

== Installation ==
Copy <code>noled.skprx</code> to your tai folder (<code>ur0:tai/</code> recommended - internal memory, works without a memory card; <code>ux0:tai/</code> works too) and add it to the <code>*KERNEL</code> section of your taiHEN <code>config.txt</code>:

*KERNEL
ur0:tai/noled.skprx

Note: taiHEN reads <code>ur0:tai/config.txt</code> only when <code>ux0:tai/config.txt</code> does not exist - add the line to whichever config is active on your system. Reboot afterwards.

No configuration file is needed - the plugin reads no config and writes no files at all. Removing it from the taiHEN config (plus a reboot) restores everything stock.

==Changelog==
'''v2.1 - slim release build'''

noled v2.1 is a cleanup release. The following was changed since v2.0:

* the release plugin was slimmed down to the production policy only: 5.3 KB filesize, under 1 KB of resident kernel memory (v2.0: 30 KB / ~186 KB)
* zero file I/O: no config file read, no logs written - fixes v2.0 appending a heartbeat line to <code>ux0:data/noled/probe.log</code> every 10 s without bound; <code>ux0:data/noled/</code> is no longer used and can be deleted
* all research/diagnostic machinery moved to a build-it-yourself dev harness (<code>dev/</code>); releases ship only <code>noled.skprx</code>
* LED behavior is unchanged and was re-verified on hardware

SHA-256 <code>noled.skprx</code>: <code>595713e2a0110a25c9e9b9d9965af0497a72ba903cf02b265af4fae4ade4a8b7</code>

'''v2.0 - Vita 2000 power LED support'''

First known software control of the PCH-2000 (Vita Slim / Vita 2000) green power LED - the feature requested in rereprep#3 since 2018.

* '''Vita 2000 / PCH-2000''': power LED dark whenever the console is on; orange charging indication preserved (shows while actually charging, incl. in standby); re-applied automatically ~2s after every wake
* '''Vita 1000''': unchanged classic behavior (home button + game card LED off) - the plugin autodetects the model
* boot plugin only: no app, no configuration file needed
* bonus: the standby blink sequence is suppressed too (one short final blink remains, generated inside the syscon MCU)

Card Wars: Adventure Time — PS Vita Port is a native PS Vita port of ''Card Wars: Adventure Time''. Originally released for iOS/Android and shut down along with its servers, this port was meant to get the PC Port running on Vita hardware for a bounty. It is built with Unity 2017.4 (PSP2), based on the PC port of the decompiled game. The game runs much better on 444mhz/166mhz CPU/GPU clock than stock.

Saves are stored in <code>ux0:/data/CardWars/</code>. Saves survive updates and reinstalls as they are separate from the game's actual data files.

== Installation ==
No VPK is provided directly. Releases contain an xdelta patch that must be applied to your own copy of the original game. You need version 1.11.0 of CardWars for iOS 6.0 (CardWars 1.11.0 iOS IPA) (MUST BE ORIGINAL GAME FILES).

# Install <code>CardWars_Stub.vpk</code> on your Vita with VitaShell
# Download xdelta3 (Windows builds available) and put <code>xdelta3.exe</code>, the IPA and <code>CardWarsData.xdelta</code> in the same folder
# Open a command prompt in that folder and run: <code>xdelta3 -d -B 536870912 -s Card_Wars_1.11.0_ios_6.0.ipa CardWarsData.xdelta CardWarsData.zip</code>
# Extract <code>CardWarsData.zip</code> and copy its contents into <code>ux0:app/CWRS00001/</code> and merge with the existing files
# Launch Card Wars

Back up your PS Vita and PSP save games and sync them to your own Google Drive. Made for people with more than one Vita (or a PS TV) who want their saves to follow them.

== Features ==
* Creates timestamped ZIP snapshots of Vita, game card, and PSP/Adrenaline saves
* Uploads snapshots to a `PSV Saves` folder in your own Google Drive
* Downloads and restores snapshots on any of your devices, so a save made on one Vita can be picked up on another Vita or a PS TV
* Shows your games in a grid with real titles and icons, grouped into Vita / Homebrew / PSP tabs
* Sorts by name, by last saved, or by last synced (whatever was uploaded most recently, from any device, bubbles to the top)
* Signs in to Google by scanning a QR code with your phone - no typing on the Vita, and you stay signed in until you disconnect
* Keeps multiple snapshots per game, so you can go back to an older save at any time
* Before a restore overwrites anything, the current save is snapshotted automatically (shown as `[AUTO]`), unless an identical backup already exists

== Installation ==

'''What you need:'''

* A PS Vita or PS TV with HENkaku / h-encore homebrew enabled
* "Enable unsafe homebrew" turned on in HENkaku settings (the app reads save folders and the system app database)
* VitaShell (or another way to install a VPK)
* A Google account and about ten minutes for the one-time Google setup

'''Install:'''

# Copy `save-keeper.vpk` to your Vita (for example over FTP to `ux0:/data/`)
# In VitaShell, press X on the file and confirm the install, including the extended permissions prompt
# Do the one-time Google setup, then launch Save Keeper from the LiveArea

'''Google Drive setup (one time):'''

Save Keeper talks to your own Google Drive, so it needs credentials that belong to you. The setup walks through creating a free Google Cloud project ("PSV Save Keeper"), enabling the Drive API, and creating a "TVs and Limited Input devices" OAuth client. The short version of what you end up with: a small `google-client.json` file at `ux0:data/save-keeper/google-client.json` on each device. After that, connecting is a single Triangle press: scan the QR code with your phone, approve, done. The sign-in survives app exits, reboots, and reinstalls. The app can only see files it created itself. It cannot read anything else in your Drive.

== Controls ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Button !! Action
|-
| D-Pad || move through the game grid
|-
| L / R || switch between the Vita / Homebrew / PSP tabs
|-
| Right stick || move through the backup list
|-
| Cross || create a backup (on "New Backup") or restore the selected one (press twice)
|-
| Select || upload the selected local backup to Google Drive
|-
| Start || delete the selected backup, locally or from Drive (press twice)
|-
| Square || change sorting: by name, last saved, or last synced
|-
| Triangle || connect Google Drive, or re-sync the remote backup list
|-
| Circle || cancel a pending confirmation or the Google sign-in
|}

On Japanese-region consoles Cross and Circle swap automatically, following the system setting. Backups from Google Drive show a `[GD]` prefix in the list. Use the PS button to leave the app.

The project is fully open-source and permanently free, with no paid content of any kind. It supports online browsing and downloading of mods, and provides a complete on-device management workflow, allowing mod acquisition and management without manually handling the SD card. The development and maintenance of online mod resources relies on the participation and contribution of the community.

* Smart Detection - Automatically identifies mod files with non-standard directory structures and detects file conflicts between mods.
* Smart Search - Supports pinyin, polyphone, initials, fuzzy matching and other search methods, deeply adapted for Chinese users.
* Mod Toggle - One-click disable or restore all mods for quick game issue troubleshooting.
* File Transfer - Supports MTP (USB wired) and FTP (Wi-Fi wireless) for transferring mods to the console.
* Online Store - Built-in mod store with browsing, searching, downloading and uploading; includes like and comment features.
* Customization - Customize various content such as game name, mod name, description, version, author, and type.
* Multi-language - Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English interfaces.

}}{{lowercase title}}

This is an unofficial port of the mono runtime to the Switch homebrew toolchain. It can run dotnet 9.0 applications using the mono interpreter by loading the dll or exe files directly on console. It can also build .NET assemblies as static libraries using mono AOT.

The mono-interpreter.zip release contains the mono interpreter, all the dotnet runtime libraries and the file .dll/.exe file association for hbmenu allowing you to copy .net dll programs to your Switch folder and running them directly. To build and use mono-nx, please follow the detailed step-by-step instructions provided in the [https://github.com/exelix11/mono-nx GitHub repository].

'''What works:'''
* Common BCL classes such as <code>List</code>, <code>StringBuilder</code> and so on.
* P/Invoke, but only with libraries that were statically linked beforehand.
* Threads and async.
* Most of filesystem APIs.
* Sockets and http-only support for <code>HttpClient</code>.
* .NET wrappers for SDL2 and [https://github.com/ocornut/imgui dear imgui] which are included as static libraries.
* The interpreter seems rather stable even when running more complex programs, I did not test the AOT builds as much.
* Unit tests with XHarness (some dotnet repo tests are even passing!).

'''What does not work:'''
* HTTPS and most of <code>System.Security</code> doesn't work because we have no openssl port on Switch.
* Arbitrary P/Invoke doesn't work due to the lack of dynamic linking, all native function entrypoints must be defined beforehand and statically linked.
* Any other OS-dependant API that was not mentioned previously will likely not work because it was not explicitly implemented. Examples are <code>Console.Read</code>, <code>Console.Clear</code>, <code>Process</code>, <code>WinForms</code> and many more.
* Also, exiting the interpreter and launching another dll or sometimes homebrew in the same hbmenu session will eventually crash. I'm not sure why this happens, historically mono has had problems [https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/20191 cleaning up resources] but it could also be an issue related to the homebrew environment. I tried to do [https://github.com/exelix11/mono-nx/blob/master/notes/writeup.md#the-smoke-test some debugging] but ultimately my workaround is to just terminate the process on exit.

'''Included demos:'''
* aot_example.nro is a fully self-contained AOT-complied C# application. It generates a random number and asks you to guess it.
* (*) pad_input.dll is a C# program that reads the controls with the native libnx api.
* (*) example.dll is a C# program that shows most of the APIs that are currently implemented.
* (*) explorer_demo.dll is a C# program that shows a file explorer-like GUI using imgui and SDL2. This will also work on windows and linux with no code changes if you use [https://github.com/exelix11/CimguiSDL2Cross/releases/tag/r2 the author's cimgui fork].
* (*) guess_number.exe is the source from aot_example built with plain csc.exe on a windows vm to show off loading exe files as well. I'm not aware of any way to build this on linux so there's no build script for it.

(*) These will add the dll and exe file association to the hbmenu allowing you to launch them directly.

==Changelog==
'''v1'''
* This build fixes various stability issues, including one related to thread local storage that would crash mono at random.
* I'm also providing an "sdk build" of the toolchain, that is, the final binaries, header files and static libraries needed to build the interpreter without having to build the whole dotnet runtime on your own. To use the sdk zip extract it in the root of the repo, it contains all the correct paths where all the icu and mono artifacts should be. At this point you should be able to build <code>native/interpreter</code> or <code>native/aot</code> directly. I don't expect this setup to survive libnx/gcc/portlibs updates via dkp-pacman so only use it with the monobuild docker container at the commit of this release, as of writing it is based on <code>devkitpro/devkita64:20260219</code>.

'''v0'''
* First Release.

|description=Atari VCS 2600 emulator for DS and DSi, an improved version of StellaDS by Alekmaul.

}}
StellaDS is an Atari 2600 console emulator for the DS/DSi improved based on AlekMaul's [[StellaDS|StellaDS]].

This Phoenix Edition brings greater speed, compatibility and accuracy to the emulation on the DSi. It also added new features such as instruction manuals and high score support.

==Features==
* Full console emulation including Reset, Select, Difficulty Switches, TV Type as touch-screen switches.
* Virtually all popular bankswitching is supported up to 512K of ROM and 32K of RAM (similar to the Harmony Encore specifications).
* Wide range of controllers including joystick, paddles, driving controller, booster grip, keypad, Genesis 2-button and more.
* Savekey Support with backing 32K EEPROM.
* DPC+ Arm-Assisted games supported! (DSi or above needed for full speed).
* CDF/CDFJ/CDFJ+ Arm-Assisted games supported! (DSi or above needed for full speed).
* FA2 and Cherity supported with backing EEPROM support.
* High score support with up to 10 scores for each game.
* Manuals included for more than 100 of the common games.
* Keypad overlay for Star Raiders.
* Frame Blending to help smooth out flicker and make the games shine.
* Ability to set Favorites on your game collection - press SELECT to mark a game as 'LIKE' or 'LOVE'.
* Save/Restore state for all game carts.

==Installation==
[[DLDI|DIDL]] patch the StellaDS.nds file depending on the flash card (if it does not have auto-patching).

Copy it into a directory of your flash/(micro)SD/MMC card.

Put the a26/bin files where you want on your flashcard. If you are using Twilight Menu++, you will need to need to rename the .bin to .a26 in order to use.

==User guide==
When the emulator starts, click on the cartridge slot to choose a file.

Use Up/Down to select a file, then use A to load it.

===Game Autodetection===
The Atari 2600 utilizes a growing number of bankswitching scheme. StellaDS currently supports 36 different bank switching schemes (refer to the [https://github.com/wavemotion-dave/StellaDS/blob/master/README.md readme] for the full list) - and it usually will auto-detect the right one. If for some reason it does not, you can go into the configuration (gear icon) and manually select a new scheme.

Be sure to hit START to save your config and then try re-loading the game (the bank switching requires a reload of the game). In the catastrophic event that the detected bankswitching scheme causes the emulation to crash, you can try loading the game using the Y (instead of A) button which will load the game but NOT start it running... this should let you go in and adjust the back switching scheme and other settings (PAL vs NTSC, etc).

===Configuration===
The gear icon on the main screen allows you to set a number of configuration parameters related specifically to the game you are running. In addition to the parameters shown, the difficulty switches (Left/Right A/B) are also saved on a per-game basis. If you change any configuration settings, you really should re-load the game after saving out your configuration - some settings such as Bank Switching and NTSC vs PAL are only applied when the game is first loaded.

Here is a description of the configuration items you can adjust. Be sure to press the START button to save out your configuration after making changes:

* Controller - Most games use the Left-Joystick (with a Savekey in the right port) but you can change this.
* Bankswitch - The system tries to auto-detect the correct bankswitching scheme but you can override that here if needed.
* Frame Blend - Normal is fastest. Flicker free combines even/odd frames and it's pretty fast (10% hit to emulation speed which is no problem on most games) and effective at eliminating flicker. Background/Black mode is the slowest and will help with games that show background/black on one frame and sprites on the other (a simple blending will cause the sprites to disappear - Missile Command is one such game).
* TV Type - NTSC vs PAL. Reload your game after saving this setting.
* Palette - Three different palette types are supported. One optmized for the DS (default), the mainline Stella palette and the Z26 palette. You can also set the global palette for loading up all future games (page 2 of options).
* Sound - Four different levels including the new WAVE DIRECT if you're using a game that does direct sound output (such as Quadrun, Stay Frosty 2, Mappy or Draconian). Most games should auto-detect this correctly. You can also set the global sound for loading up all future games (page 2 of options).
* ABXY Button - Default to FIRE button but you can change this. You can now set to Screen Pan UP or Screen Pan DN to scroll the screen for more complex games. See Screen Settings below.
* HBLANK Zero - Whether system clears pixels on horizontal blanks. Turn off at your own risk (it will speed up emulation which helps with older DS-LITE)
* VBLANK Zero - Whether system clears pixels on vertical blanks. Turn off at your own risk (it will speed up emulation which helps with older DS-LITE)
* Analog Sens - Default is 10 (1.0x speed). You can ajust how the paddle emulation responds.
* Start Scanline - Starting Scanline setting. When the TV first starts output of scanlines.
* Num Scanlines - Number of scanlines to display. Don't touch if you don't understand this.
* Offset/Scale - You can ajust the screen scaling and offset positions for the game. If you scale down, be aware that some pixel lines will not render - such is life with a very small 256x192 pixel DS screen.
* ARM THUMB - SAFE and Optimized are roughly the same - Optmized is preferred as is slightly faster and recommended for ARM-assisted games. Optimized-No-Collisions is generally fine for most of the new CDF/CDFJ/CDFJ+ games that don't need TIA hardware collision detection. One final experimental setting is to enable some level of frameskip for the really hard-hitting newest ARM games (e.g. Elevator Agent).
* BUS Mode - For the DSi and above, this will default to 'Accurate' and for the older DS hardware (or running in DS compatibility mode on an R4 cart) it will be set to 'Optimized' to gain speed. If you encounter a glitch with a game, try setting this to 'Accurate'.
* RAM Clear - Normally set to 'Random' but you can force the Atari VCS RAM to all zeros. A few games might care - but most won't.

These options are spread across two (2) pages, use the L/R shoulder buttons to switch pages. This gets you access to some global settings for sound quality and default color palette (after saving, new games loaded will use the global settings by default and you can tweak individual games as desired).

===Screen settings===
If you are only running Classic games - the default screen settings should be fine. But if you're running some of the newer homebrews created over the past decade, you will want to configure your screen properly. For many games, you simply can't fit all the content on the 192 pixel lines of a DS/DSi. For these you can either cut off the top, bottom or scale the screen.

When these options aren't enough, you can set your Y offset so that some of the screen is cut-off top or bottom and then you can map one of the DS buttons to 'SCREEN PAN UP' or 'SCREEN PAN DOWN' which will momentarily pan up or down. This works great for Champ Games offerings where the score display is normally off-screen while you play and then you can tap a button to briefly see it.

===Backing files used by StellaDS===
In the /data directory of your SD card you will see some files auto-created by StellaDS. You are free to delete or back these files up as you see fit. If you delete a file, it will be re-created 'clean' on the next boot of the emulator.

*StellaDS.DAT - this contains the per-game settings (basically when you press START on the Configuration screen and it saves out your settings for the current game). The easiest way to set all your games back to default settings is to remove this file.
*StellaDS.HI - this is the high-score file on a per-game basis. Up to 10 scores are saved per game by pressing the little Golden Chalice icon on the main screen.
*StellaDS.EE - this is the SaveKey 32K EEPROM file for games that utilize a SaveKey. If you remove it, a new clean blank copy will be created.
*StellaDS.FAV - this is the 4K favorites file where up to 1024 favorites (like/love - using the SELECT key on the file menu) are stored.
*Various .SAV files - these are the Save State / Restore files (one per game with the same base name as the game ROM).

===Champ Games Support===
StellaDS fully supports all current games from Champ Games, including Turbo Arcade and Elevator Agent. These titles showcase the Atari 2600's capabilities with an ARM co-processor for enhanced performance. To run these advanced arm-assisted games at their full potential, it's recommended to use a DSi or later model with [[TWiLight Menu++]] or Unlaunch, unlocking the 2X CPU at 134MHz. The original DS or DSi/2DS/3DS running with an R4 cart will operate in DS compatibility mode at 67MHz, which may not provide optimal performance.

For the best experience, an XL/LL model with a larger screen is recommended due to its slower LCD fade, resulting in less flicker and a picture closer to an old TV.

Note that these games often utilize overscan, with extra information rendering off-screen. StellaDS focuses on the main gameplay portion, using screen pan UP/DN to shift additional information, such as scores or status, in and out of view. While most Champ Games run at or near full speed, Turbo Arcade may experience a slight dip in framerate during complex rendering scenes, and Elevator Agent may exhibit variable performance with occasional music output wavering. Testing the DEMO roms first is advisable to ensure satisfaction with the emulation quality.

==Controls==
D-Pad - the Joystick

A,B,X,Y - Fire button (configurable)

SELECT - SELECT switch

START - START switch

R+D-Pad - Shift display offset in the D-PAD direction

L+D-Pad - Change Scaling of the Y-Screen (UP/DOWN scaling only)

L+R+A - Swap LCD top/bottom

Hold L+R shoulder buttons for ~1 second to take a snapshot of the screen (written to SD card as a .BMP file).

Use stylus on buttons for other icon-based actions on bottom screen.

==Screenshots==
https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/dshomebrew/stelladsphoenix2.png

https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/dshomebrew/stelladsphoenix3.png

==Compatibility==
For the older DS-LITE and DS-PHAT, many of the simple 8k, 4k and 2k games will play perfectly. More sophisticated bank-switching schemes really require the DSi for the best experience.

If you're a fan of classic emulators on the DS/DSi, a DSi XL (USA) or LL (Japan) version is strongly recommended. Or a 2DS/3DS if you can get homebrews to run on those. The reason is that the original DSi has a fast LCD fade and as such some of the games will be a little hard to see or appear to flicker due to the way the original Atari game is coded. For a real TV or a slow LCD fade, this looks much better.

StellaDS includes an option to reduce the flicker - in configuration you can turn on Blending (recommend try Half Blend Mode as it's the least CPU intensive). This comes at a performance pentaly - for many games, the DSi can handle that penalty. For the ARM-Assisted games (DPC+, CDF/CDFJ/CDFJ+) that penalty will be too great which is why the full gammut of Atari games will always render best on an XL/LL screen.

==Known issues==
Please refer to https://github.com/wavemotion-dave/StellaDS/blob/master/README.md#known-issues-

==Changelog==
'''v8.4a 2026/06/28'''
* Fix for cart detection so SB carts don't detect as CDFJ. Fixes Rescue from Poseidon's Gate.
'''v8.4 2026/06/27'''
* Fix for TIA rendering that fixes Aardvark and probably others.
* Fix for banking on Squish-Em-Deluxe (F8) so dummy read on RTI properly hits the hotspot.
* Hotfix for PAL rendering which was causing the LCD to misbehave. True-sync is NTSC only for now.
* Full cleanup of ARM Thumbulator. I've decided to peel back on some of the 'unsafe' code that I've been using to gain speed. In the end, the speed optimizations and the improved accuracy have balanced themselves out - so 8.4 is still a bit faster than 8.3 in terms of raw speed but has a improved ARM Thumb emulation for a nice gain of accuracy.
* Lots of cleanup and both ARM and 6502 optimizations as time permitted. Better accuracy and improved speed all-around.

'''v8.3b 2026/06/23'''
* Hotfix for PAL rendering which was causing the LCD to misbehave.
* After another round of ARM Thumbulator optimizations, I've decided to peel back on some of the 'unsafe' code that I've been using to gain speed. In the end, the speed optimizations and the improved accuracy have balanced themselves out - so 8.3a is roughly equivalent to 8.3 in terms of raw speed but has a improved ARM Thumb emulation for a nice gain of accuracy. Just hoping there are no bugs :)

'''v8.3 2026/06/21'''
* Improved CDFJ+ driver to eek out another frame or two.
* Optimized for the new Zaxxon Arcade from Champ Games so it runs full speed on DSi or above.

'''v8.2 2026/04/12'''
* New NTSC (60Hz) and PAL (50Hz) 'True-Sync' to reduce tearing and other video artifacts from screen rendering on the DS/DSi.
* Improved accuracy on SB (SuperBanking) carts.

'''v8.1 2025/12/14'''
* Added new Favorites system so you can LIKE/LOVE any game - press SELECT on the Game ROM loading screen.
* TIA optimizations for another frame of improved performance.
* CPU optimizations for another frame of improved performance.
* Thumbulator optimizations for the LDR3 instruction to help some CDFJ games.
* Most VBLANK and HBLANK optimizations now removed in favor of improved accuracy (improved performance allows us to ditch most of this).
* Refactor memory to buy back almost 250K of DS RAM for future expansion.
'''v8.0 2024/12/09'''
* Added music fetchers for more complete Chetiry (CTY) emulation. Save state works with CTY. Use the 60K Chetiry rom for music.
* Fixed holding RESET (DS Start button) and SELECT (DS Select Button) when loading a game. This allows you to do things like the Double-Shot trick in Space Invaders.
'''V7.9 2024/12/04'''
* Fix so holding shoulder buttons on Bumper Bash does NOT invoke the screen snapshot.
* Fix for bumper bash right bumper position so it now shows correctly.
* Improved GI Joe Cobra Strike snake graphics so it's much closer to the way a real TIA chip would draw it.
* Fix for Labyrinth (AR) graphical glitches at top/bottom of walls.
* Improved difficulty switch handling so startup values for games like Asteroids works correctly.
* Improved RIOT timer emulation - Acid Drop, Panda Chase, Zoo Fun and a few other PAL roms now work.
* Improved keyboard/keypad emulation so games like Alpha Beam with Ernie, Oscar's Trash Can Race and Magicard now work.
* Improved emulation of Starpath Supercharger (AR) games (Dragonstomper is random) and support smaller game loads (Cubis now runs).
* Fixed Casino paddles (correct paddle emulation so you can select all card positions in game variation 4).
* Internal cart database updated to Romhunter v19 (full NTSC with select PAL titles).
* Fix for save/load states on CDFJ+ carts (Gorf and Turbo Arcade will now save/load correctly).
* Wave Direct improvements - applying the same logic for all games that utilize digital speech and improving sounds.
* Added new Stretch-X config option to stretch the screen horizontally (you can use offset/stretch to fill the screen for some Activision games which purposely hide the HMOVE blanks on the left side of the screen).
* Pressing and holding the Game Select and Game Reset buttons now keeps them depressed until you let up your finger.
'''V7.8 2024/11/30'''
* Further tweaks to the improved 'Wave Direct' to prevent audio gaps.
* First pass at allowing 'Wave Direct' for DS-Phat/Lite (only for simple games like Quadrun, Berzerk VE and Open Sesame).
* Tweaks to the DPC audio driver for improved Pitfall II music.
* Added support for some of the Voice Enhanced Berzerk hacks such as DrVsDaleks.
* Improved Meltdown emulation - added hack for NUSIZ0/1 to improve screen rendering. Not perfect but closer...
* Fixed Pole Position speedometer zero so it shows correctly and other minor graphical fixes (HMOVE timing)
* Fixed Grand Prix graphical glitch on rocks/scenery (HMOVE timing).
* Fixed Moon Patrol graphical glitch on right side of screen (HMOVE timing).
* Fixed Double Dragon graphical glitch on strength meter (HMOVE timing).
* Apply RSYNC improved TIA handling across the board (was only being applied to select games).
'''V7.7 2024/11/24'''

This is a fork of [[SNES9x 3DS]] which includes several new features, like custom border and second screen image for each game. You can also swap your game screen, use the new hotkey options such as Switch to player 2 or Quick Save/Load.

The credits for the custom border and bottom image go to [https://github.com/ramzinouri/snes9x_3ds ramzinouri's fork] and [https://github.com/Asdolo/snes9x_3ds_forwarder Asdolo's snes9x forwarder].

== Features ==
* Thumbnail support (box art, title and gameplay).
* Per-game backgrounds for top and bottom screens, overlays with auto-fit option.
* SNES refresh rate matching (60.1 Hz for NTSC, 50 Hz for PAL).
* Improved rendering for HDMA-heavy games and mosaic effects.
* NDSP audio output.
* Theme support.
* Improved cheat management.
* Crop and overscan.
* Clean, RetroArch-style folder structure.
* Directory caching for faster ROM list loading.
* Extended hotkey options and screen swap support.

==Installation==
'''Instructions:'''
* A modded 3DS is required.
* Install via [[Universal-Updater 3DS|Universal Updater]], or install the latest .cia from [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/releases Releases].
* Optional: download asset packs from [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds-assets/releases snes9x_3ds-assets releases].
* ROMs can be stored in any folder. ZIP files are not supported.

'''3DSX version:'''
* Copy snes9x_3ds.3dsx to sd:/3ds/snes9x_3ds
* Start it from the Homebrew Launcher

'''Supported ROM formats:'''
* .smc
* .sfc
* .fig
* .bs
* .bsx

Configs, saves and imported assets are stored in sd:/3ds/snes9x_3ds.

==User guide==
=== Assets (images and cheats) ===
Assets are provided in dedicated asset repository: [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds-assets matbo87/snes9x_3ds-assets]

Notes:
* The repository follows a 1G1R-style selection.
* Naming is strict No-Intro style for matching.

</pre>

=== .CHX Cheat file format ===
The .CHX is a cheat file format that you can create with any text editor. Each line in the file corresponds to one cheat, and is of the following format:

<pre> [Y/N],[CheatCode],[Name]</pre>

* [Y/N] represents whether the cheat is enabled. Whenever you enable/disable it in the emulator, the .CHX cheat file will be modified to save your changes.
* [CheatCode] must be a Game Genie or a Pro Action Replay code.
** A Game Genie code looks like this: F38B-6DA4.
** A Pro-Action Replay code looks like this: 7E00DC04.
* [Name] is a short name that represents this cheat. Since this will appear in the emulator, keep it short (< 30 characters).

The .CHX must have the same name as your ROM. This is an example of a .CHX file:

Filename: Gradius III (U) [I].CHX

Y,F38B-6DA4,Start with 31 lives
Y,7E00DC04,Constant Megacrush (enemies die)

You can only have either .CHT or .CHX in your ROM folder for the same ROM. If you have both, only the .CHX file will be effective.

=== FAQ ===
'''Q. A game runs slow. How can I improve performance?'''

* Increase <code>Frameskips</code> (try 1-2 first)
* Set <code>Frame Sync Method</code> to <code>Sleep Sync</code>
* Set <code>SRAM Auto-Save Delay</code> to 60 seconds or disable it
* Set <code>In-Frame Palette Changes</code> to <code>Disabled Style 1</code> or <code>Disabled Style 2</code>
* Disable 3D and/or on-screen display settings
* If available, try the PAL version of the game (50 FPS instead of 60 FPS)
* Super FX games often run poorly on old 2DS/3DS models
* Check the [http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Snes9x_for_3DS Compatibility List] with care, it may be outdated

'''Q. A game looks or sounds wrong. What can I try?'''

* Set <code>In-Frame Palette Changes</code> to <code>Enabled</code>
* Increase <code>Audio Buffer Size</code> if audio crackles, skips or stutters
* Enabled cheats can break visuals or gameplay; disable cheats and reload the game
* Check if your ROM is valid (No-Intro is highly recommended; ROM hacks may have issues)
* Check the [http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Snes9x_for_3DS Compatibility List] with care, it may be outdated

'''Q. Cheats are not working properly'''

* The cheat set is only roughly tested
* Some cheats may not work correctly and may damage save data
* Always use cheats with caution

'''Q. Satellaview (BS-X) games'''

* Satellaview games are supported, but compatibility is hit-or-miss.
* See the [[#Known issues|Known issues]] section for details and per-game status.

==Building from source==
* Install devkitPro and 3DS toolchain packages (including devkitARM, libctru, citro3d). If needed, follow the [https://devkitpro.org/wiki/devkitPro_pacman devkitPro pacman guide].
* The Makefile is based on TricksterGuy's [https://github.com/TricksterGuy/3ds-template 3ds-template].

Required command-line tools in PATH:
* For <code>3dsx</code> builds: <code>tex3ds</code>, <code>smdhtool</code>, <code>3dsxtool</code> (from the devkitPro 3DS toolchain).
* For <code>cia</code> builds: <code>makerom</code> in addition to the above.

Common build targets:
* <code>make 3dsx</code>
* <code>make citra</code>
* <code>make 3dslink</code> (sends the .3dsx to your Homebrew Launcher)

This repository bundles makerom binaries under [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/tree/master/makerom makerom/] for convenience. Bundled binary provenance is documented in [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/blob/master/makerom/BINARY_SOURCES.md BINARY_SOURCES.md].

=== Emulator status ===
* Citra (nightly ≤ 2104): working
* Azahar: Mode7 1024x1024 texture renders as a solid yellow texture

==Development and Contributions==
New work usually lands on <code>develop</code> first. Merges to <code>master</code> create build artifacts via GitHub Actions. Tagged GitHub [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/releases releases] are the official stable releases.

Community PRs are welcome. For larger changes, a short issue first is appreciated. Please keep PRs focused and test on hardware where possible. AI-assisted code is fine, but contributors are responsible for understanding and validating the code they submit. Broad, risky, hard-to-review PRs may be closed or split into smaller changes. Prototype work may still be credited if it informs a later implementation.

'''AI note:''' The developer notes that AI assistants are used as part of the development workflow, including code review, debugging, planning, implementation and documentation, with all changes reviewed and adjusted by the developer before being merged.

==Controls==
Touchscreen - Menu

Up/Down - Choose option

A - Confirm

X+D-Pad Up/Down - Page Up/Page Down)

Left/Right - Change between ROM selection and emulator options

You can quit the emulator to your homebrew launcher/your CFW's home screen.

==Known issues==
* Minor sound emulation errors.
* Poor performance in some SFX1/2 games like Doom.
* Mosaics.
* In-frame palette changes - This is because this emulator uses the 3DS GPU for all graphic rendering. Without in-frame palette changes implemented, a small number of games experience colour issues.

==License==
Some files may carry their own license headers, but because this project includes the Snes9x core (source/Snes9x/), redistribution of the combined project follows the Snes9x non-commercial license terms.

** Documented bundled makerom sources for provenance ([https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/issues/47 #47]) ([https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/commit/4cae63094ec24ec13fecb0a36643b24f7c023682 4cae630])
** CI/tooling updates for GitHub Actions compatibility ([https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/commit/475042a9d49e7545f55a97ae69b043b07a049e71 475042a], [https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds/commit/7e1a91a4ed1859b81dd30b87de22362943a7f342 7e1a91a])
'''v1.60'''
* Major Changes
** '''Rendering backend migration''': move from legacy GPU code to citro3d
** '''Draw-call batching overhaul''': fewer draw calls via batched rendering and XOR-based packed render-state diffing
** '''GPU decoupling''': separate <code>gfxhw</code> state preparation from the GPU submission path for a cleaner rendering pipeline
* Performance
** '''Rendering throughput''':
*** layer/section collection and merged backdrop/color-math passes to reduce redundant draws
*** uniform upload and render-state update optimizations (including patched citro3d max-dirty behavior)
** '''I/O and memory''':
*** faster save/config writes and improved file I/O architecture
*** reduced heap fragmentation pressure
*** menu/file navigation streamlined, with snappier behavior on old 2DS/3DS models
*** improved ROM list caching
** '''Asset handling''':
*** background assets on 16-bit texture formats (RGB565) to reduce memory bandwidth/footprint
*** replace <code>stb_image</code> with a <code>libpng</code>-based path that uses a shared file scratch buffer (<code>g_fileBuffer</code>) and an aligned shared stream buffer (<code>g_streamBuffer</code>) to reduce heap churn/fragmentation
* Features
** '''Thumbnail system''':
*** replace fragile thumbnail background-thread loading with on-demand reads from one cache file per thumbnail type
*** removes shared-state race issues and keeps thumbnail loading fast and stable for large ROM folders
** '''SNES-accurate refresh-rate matching''':
*** when gameplay starts/resumes, 3DS LCD timing is set to the game's native SNES rate (NTSC ~60.1 Hz / PAL 50 Hz)
** '''On-Screen Display''':
*** bezel overlay with auto-fit support
*** FPS overlay option
*** GPU-accelerated notifications
** '''Stereoscopic 3D additions''':
*** basic 3D support for splash screen, in-game scene background, and pause overlay
* Stability & Code Quality
** '''Code-quality cleanup''': broad typing, const/sign correctness, return-path, warning cleanup across both 3DS frontend and SNES core
** '''Build warning policy upgrade''': remove old global warning suppression (<code>-w</code>) and move to enabled warnings enforcing <code>-Werror</code> by default
* Breaking Changes
** '''Config migration''': <code>settings.cfg</code> may not migrate cleanly in all cases; defaults can be applied
** '''Thumbnail assets''': legacy per-image thumbnail folders are obsolete; thumbnails now load from <code>*.cache</code> files (<code>boxart.cache</code>, <code>gameplay.cache</code>, <code>title.cache</code>)
** '''Background asset paths''':
*** <code>snes9x_3ds/borders</code> -> <code>snes9x_3ds/backgrounds/game_screen</code>
*** <code>snes9x_3ds/covers</code> -> <code>snes9x_3ds/backgrounds/second_screen</code>

'''v1.45'''
* Buffered file writer for faster config saves (thanks to [https://github.com/willjow/snes9x_3ds willjow]).

'''v1.42'''
* Fixed screen tearing.

=== bubble2k versions ===
'''v1.30'''
* Improved sound synchronization.
* Added BlargSNES DSP Core (experimental) for performance. The original Snes9X DSP core (default) suffers from sound skipping in some games like Aladdin and Gradius 3. You can choose which DSP core to use from the Options menu. The BlargSNES DSP Core sounds similar to the Snes9x Core for most games. Sounds like Final Fantasy 3's the howling wind sound different.
* Added support for Tengai Makyou Zero English Patch (for hopefully all future versions).

'''v1.21'''
* Fixed the ZL/ZR button problem when installing the CIA version.

'''v1.20'''
* Fixed slider problem in New 3DS (where one of the eyes always sees a black screen).
* Added button mappings and rapid fire settings like VirtuaNES / TemperPCE 3DS (thanks to AdmiralCurtiss).
* Added button configuration to open emulator menu and fast-forward (thanks to AdmiralCurtiss). Use with care, though. In some games, fast-forwarding can freeze/corrupt your game.
* Added a frame rate option to v-sync with the 60Hz 3DS refresh rate (thanks AdmiralCurtiss).
* Added an option to auto-save state when exiting and loading when starting a new game. (thanks AdmiralCurtiss).
* Added an option to force saving of SRAM, required by Yoshi's Island. (thanks AdmiralCurtiss).
* Show 3DS battery level in the bottom right of the menu (thanks ramzinouri).
* Increased scrolling speed in menu when holding down the D-pad.
* Added memory mapper support for Tengai Makyou Zero English Patch (version 1.0 released 22 Oct 2017).
* Supports most original BS Zelda (1-4, Map 2 1-4, Ancient Stone Tablets 1-4), except for the Remix version which still boots into black screen (thanks ramzinouri).
* And other text changes (thanks FateForWindows).

'''v1.11'''
* Fixed crashing bug when loading CHX cheat files.

'''v1.10'''
* Implemented SA-1 sleep speed-hacks on the following games. These games run faster and some are able to run at 60 fps on the Old 3DS when things on-screen aren't too busy. Super Mario RPG; Kirby’s Dreamland; Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius; Kirby Super Star; Marvelous; Super Robot Taisen; Panic Bomber World; Dragon Ball Hyper Dimension; SD Gundam Next; Power Rangers Zeo; Daisenryaku Expert 2; Masters New Augusta 3; Bass Fishing; J96 Dream Stadium; Shining Scorpion; Pebble Beach New; PGA European Tour; SD F1 Grand Prix;
* Fixed mode 7’s CLIP_10_BIT_SIGNED formula to use the original Snes9x’s formula. This fixes Super Chase HQ’s mode 7 intro.
* Imported SPC7110 decompressor chip code from Snes9x 1.52. Now Tengai Makyou Zero (Far East of Eden Zero) can boot after 2 restarts, and in-game graphics appears without problems.
* Fixed important bug in cheat engine so that it doesn't not increment the 65816 processor's clock cycles when enabling/disabling cheats.
* Fixed the problem of the menu not using the correct font when the emulator first boots up.
* Added one more mode when using the 3D slider for a sharper image.
* Major refactoring of code.
* Fixed SA1 MMC's memory map code by copying it from Snes9x 1.54.2. Now Super Mario World hack VLDC 9 boots.
* Fixed Mode 0 rendering bug. The original bug was there since day 1 and with this fix, Lagoon's title screen looks right.

'''v1.00'''
* Transplanted the full SPC700 + DSP source codes from Snes9x v1.51 into this emulator. As a result, the sound emulation now supports Gaussian Interpolation, and has better accuracy. This fixes some sound problems in Clay Fighter and Mortal Kombat I and II.
* Fixed Mode 7 priorities in games that use this: Contra III's stage 1 (at the loss of some color fidelity). Implementing this required the use of some crazy math hacks and hardware tricks to pull this off.
* Implemented some experimental speed hacks for Super Mario RPG and Kirby's Dreamland. Runs slightly faster (still not full speed) on Old 3DS.
* Implemented hi-res translucency. We get non-flickering emulation of hi-res screens (Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol) now as a bonus. As a result, Kirby's Dreamland is now playable.
* Invented a new cheat file format .CHX (text file) so that players can add cheats by using any text editor.
* Centralized the SNES output screen vertically on the top screen.
* Overhauled the user interface to give a more modern look as well as provide additional fonts.
* Added more screen stretch options as requested by many users.
* Added 3D slider support. Pushing up the 3D slider doesn't create any 3D effect, but may create a better viewing experience.
* Removed unnecessary debug messages during start up / shut down of the emulator.
* Fixed a bug when the SRAM still saves randomly when it is set to Disabled.
* Reduced memory footprint for storing texture position caches.
* Made this version buildable with libctru v1.2.0 (thanks to Maki-chan) [Note: Building with devkitARM r46 and libctru v1.2.0 will cause a bug where the emulator cannot utilize the full clock speed of the New 3DS.]

'''v0.80'''
* Fixed NMI interrupt for specific games such as Cu-On-Pa. This allows Cu-On-Pa to get past the selection screen.
* Fixed ROM size calculation for Wonder Project J (English Patch). The game no longer hangs at the menu.
* Implemented optimized rendering for offset-per-tile modes. This gives many games a major performance boost. Games such as Strike Gunner STG, Tetris Attack, Kirby's Avalanche, Contra's Stage 1 Boss, Super Mario All-Stars' Super Mario 2 all benefit from this improvement.
* Implemented optimized rendering for sprites for modest performance boost.
* Used SPC700 core from Snes9x v1.51.
* Re-implemented an moderately optimized SA-1 core. Now games like Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG can boot. It will NOT run well on the old 3DS currently, but it will run smooth on a new 3DS with full clock speed.

'''v0.71'''
* Fixed nasty bug that breaks loading of the second ROM, if the first ROM was loaded from a directory path that has spaces in it.
* Added feature to allow users to page up/down the options in the menu while holding down X.
* Minor optimizations.

'''v0.70'''
* Fixed sprites priority issues. This fixes sprites problems of Shadowrun, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario All Stars' (and possibly other games too).
* The newly implemented rendering engine also provides some modest speed improvements in some games.
* Added feature to save the directory of the previously loaded ROM.

'''v0.63'''
* Fixed bug in DMA when the source address comes from Save RAM. This fixes a number of Super Mario World Hacks so that text is readable on BG layer 3.
* Fixed menu key lock issue to improve usability when exiting from menu back into the game.
* Fixed DKC tile corruption issue. This probably also fixes most (if not all) tile corruption issues in other games, if you play a game for too long in a single sitting.
* Fixed sound problems when auto-saving SRAM. Somehow the hardware or the library doesn't like us stopping and starting the CSND too often. Not too sure what the problem is.
* Added an auto-save SRAM option to tell the emulator when to save SRAM (1 second, 10 seconds, 60 seconds, or disable auto-save). Note that regardless of the setting, the emulator will always save any modified SRAM every time you touch the bottom screen to activate the menu.

'''v0.62'''
* Improved Mode 7 zoomed-in textures. Games like Seiken Densetsu, ActRaiser 1/2 look better when viewing the Mode 7 textures near to the ground. Thanks for Discostew for the motivation.
* Improved sound handling to ensure that the left speaker plays at the same volume as the right speaker.
* Added option to change in-frame palette handling. There are three options to choose from:
** Enabled. (Slow, accurate, but never as accurate as software)
** Disabled Style 1 (faster, less accurate)
** Disabled Style 2 (faster, less accurate) works a little differently from Style 1 Most games are by default Disabled Style 2.
** Bahamut Lagoon and Front Mission Gun Hazard are by default Disabled Style 1. Wild Guns, Judge Dredd, Batman Forever are by default Enabled.
* Fixed Clock Tower to boot properly again.
* Fixed Star Fox flickering problem when there are frameskips.
* Fixed outside-of-track texture problem with Super Mario Kart’s Bowser Castle stages.
* Fixed Final Fantasy V Intro logo cutout problem.
* Fixed Donkey Kong Country's tile colour corruption bug.

'''v0.61'''
* Fixed DSP bug that causes some games like Dragon Ball - Super Budoten 3, Umihara Kawase to mute.
* Fixed bug that doesn't stop sound from playing when saving to SRAM.

'''v0.6'''
* Default sound amplification to 2x …
* Reduced GPU freezing problem after loading new ROMs / resetting too many times.
* Resynchronise sound when you go into the menu (you can reset the sync this way after waking your 3DS from sleep mode).
* Improved sound sample rate to 32 KHz, and added echo and interpolation. The result is overall better sound quality.
* Improved sync between SPC700 emulation and the DSP.
* Fixed Contra III Mode 7 EXTBG colors again.
* Enabled the SPC700 Envelope Height reading.
* Fixed Chrono Trigger music not resuming after any battle music or “sealed by mysterious force” music.

'''v0.51'''
* Implemented pseudo hi-res mode 5 using alternate frame flickering to achieve the pseudo hi-res mode. Games that use this mode include: Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Air Strike Patrol, and a number of others.

'''v0.5'''
* Implemented major graphic rendering optimizations for color handling, transparency and window effects. Although codes from BlargSNES was not used directly, ideas came from BlargSNES. Some games that use windowing effects should see some / significant performance increase. F-Zero (US / EUR versions) run full speed. Super Mario Kart (EUR) runs full speed. Axelay (US) runs at a playable speed. Breath of Fire 2 battle transition effects are smooth. Super Mario World circular window fade-in/out effects are smooth. etc.
* Fixed sprite flickering problems in Yoshi's Island and DKC2.
* Fixed 256-color background problems. DKC1/2 and Earthworm Jim 2 intro shows up correctly.
* Fixed Mode 7 BG2 problems. Now Super Star Wars - Empire Strikes Back (snowspeeder stage) works correctly.

'''v0.42'''
* Minor optimisation to GPU drawing.
* Increased maximum number of cheats to 200.
* Fix the crashing problem if there are too many cheats in the .CHT file.
* Fixed the too many sprites on screen problem (fixes Shadowrun freezing).

'''v0.41'''
* Fixed some transparency issues with Saturday Night Slam Master and Ghost Chaser Densei.
* Updated SRAM saving timing.
* Minor optimisation for SuperFX emulation.
* First implementation of speed hacks (experimental for F-Zero, Axelay, Super Mario Kart, Yoshi’s Island)
* Modified some debugging stuff.
* Fixed some mode 7 glitches when a mode 7 game (like Super Mario Kart has been running for more than a few minutes).
* Implemented palette flickering hack for Front Mission Gun Hazard, Bahamut Lagoon.
* Implemented hack for Power Rangers Fighting Edition to prevent graphical glitches
* Implemented hack for delayed SRAM (per 1 minute) saving for Star Ocean
* Fixed the problem of loading up too many different ROMs once after another, causing the loading to finally fail.
* When loading a game without settings, reset the frame rate setting to be based on the game's region.

'''v0.4'''
* Experimental cheat feature. Requires you to have the .CHT file (May corrupt your save game, use at your own risk).
* Added settings to enable turbo buttons (per game).
* Added settings to allow user to amplify volume (per game) (beware of sound clipping that results in terrible sounds).
* Palette hack for Secret of Mana to ensure that the dialog borders are blue (the bottom status window still behaves oddly due to palette changes).
* Transparency fixes: o Legend of Zelda's prologue's dark room o Reported dark tints on several games like Doremi Fantasy, Bomberman, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger o Gradient shading on dialog boxes for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III (battles) appear correct.
* Fixed window clip problems.
* Fixed mode 7 glitches causing mode 7 bugs in Secret of Mana, NHL 94, Magical Quest 3.
* Fixed a number of sprite clipping problems o Megaman 7's Dr Wily's spaceship in the intro now pans in from the left correctly o Tales of Phantasia's trainee's sprites (after the intro) now clips correct.
* Fixed color inconsistency causing some white sprites to be visible on a white background (eg. in NHL's EA Sports intro screen).
* Added speed hack for games that use the WAI instruction (esp Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3 should see a good speed increase).
* Added hack to avoid hiding sprites even if they exceed the maximum number the real hardware can display. Apparently, this fixes the missing cursor in Final Fantasy III.
* And other bugs.

'''v0.35'''
* Fixed Super Mario Kart grass area texture outside of the track. This fix should work for all cases.
* Some minor performance and UI adjustments.

'''v0.34'''
* Mode 7 minor performance improvements and update to draw Super Mario Kart's grass outside of the racing track. (some it works only under some conditions).
* Taking of screenshot now only captures the upper screen.
* Option of forcing frame rate to 50 FPS / 60 FPS / or based on the selected ROM's region.
* Additional screen scaling option to 320x240.
* Fixed the crashing problem when selecting options without any ROM running.
* Fixed DKC1 piracy problem. The wrong mask logic was used when writing to SRAM.
* Improved the logic to save SRAM to SD card about 1-2 seconds after your game was saved in the emulator.

This is a fork of [[Adrenaline Vita|Adrenaline]] for the PS Vita.

Adrenaline is a software that modifies the official PSP Emulator using [https://github.com/yifanlu/taiHEN taiHEN CFW framework] to make it run a PSP 6.61 custom firmware. Thanks to the power of taiHEN, Adrenaline can inject custom code into the IPL which allows unsigned code to run at boottime.

== Installation ==
=== How to update ===
If you have already been using Adrenaline, simply open Adrenaline.vpk as zip file and copy all modules from sce_module to ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module.

Alternatively, use "System update" from XMB and follow instructions.

=== How to install ===
Please only do this approach for a fresh installation, otherwise please refer to the guide above.

* Remove the Adrenaline bubble and the <code>ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/adrenaline_kernel.skprx</code> path from the taiHEN config.txt and finally reboot your device.
* Download [https://github.com/isage/Adrenaline/releases Adrenaline.vpk] and install it using [[VitaShell]].
* Launch Adrenaline and press Cross to download the 6.61 firmware. After finishing it will automatically terminate.
* Relaunch Adrenaline, this time it will go into pspemu mode. Follow the instructions on screen.

=== Getting rid of double launch bug ===
Adrenaline has been redesigned in <code>6.61 Adrenaline-6</code>, so you'd need to launch Adrenaline twice everytime you reboot your device. To get rid of that, simply write this line to <code>*KERNEL</code>

*KERNEL
ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/adrenaline_kernel.skprx

=== Manuals for ISO games ===
Adrenaline now supports displaying manuals for ISO-format games:

# Obtain/create DOCUMENT.DAT for you game.
# Rename it to <your_iso_name>.DAT and place next to it. E.g.: if you have <code>ux0:/pspemu/ISO/MYGAME.iso</code> name your manual <code>ux0:/pspemu/ISO/MYGAME.DAT</code>

This is a fork of [[Adrenaline Vita|Adrenaline]] for the PS Vita.

Adrenaline is a software that modifies the official PSP Emulator using [https://github.com/yifanlu/taiHEN taiHEN CFW framework] to make it run a PSP 6.61 custom firmware. Thanks to the power of taiHEN, Adrenaline can inject custom code into the IPL which allows unsigned code to run at boottime.

== Installation ==
=== How to update ===
If you have already been using Adrenaline, simply open Adrenaline.vpk as zip file and copy all modules from sce_module to ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module.

Alternatively, use "System update" from XMB and follow instructions.

=== How to install ===
Please only do this approach for a fresh installation, otherwise please refer to the guide above.

* Remove the Adrenaline bubble and the <code>ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/adrenaline_kernel.skprx</code> path from the taiHEN config.txt and finally reboot your device.
* Download [https://github.com/isage/Adrenaline/releases Adrenaline.vpk] and install it using [[VitaShell]].
* Launch Adrenaline and press Cross to download the 6.61 firmware. After finishing it will automatically terminate.
* Relaunch Adrenaline, this time it will go into pspemu mode. Follow the instructions on screen.

=== Getting rid of double launch bug ===
Adrenaline has been redesigned in <code>6.61 Adrenaline-6</code>, so you'd need to launch Adrenaline twice everytime you reboot your device. To get rid of that, simply write this line to <code>*KERNEL</code>

*KERNEL
ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/adrenaline_kernel.skprx

=== Related path ===
*Preview images - The program will automatically search for a JPG or PNG file with the same name as the ROM in the <code>.previews</code> directory within the ROM folder. If none is found, it will look for screenshots of save states.
*Cheats - The program will sequentially search for a <code>.cht</code> file with the same name in the following locations:
** the ROM directory,
** the <code>.cheats</code> subdirectory in the ROM folder,
** or <code>ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/[core]/cheats</code>. It will use the first file it finds.
*Save files - <code>ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/[core]/savefiles</code>
*BIOS - <code>ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/system</code> (Please copy the corresponding BIOS files into this directory.)

=== Compatible with [https://docs.libretro.com/guides/roms-playlists-thumbnails/ RetroArch romset] ===
Emu4Vita++ will try to read .lpl files in the following directories:

* <code>ux0:data/EMU4VITAPLUS/playlists</code>
* 'playlist_directory' item in <code>ux0:data/retroarch/retroarch.cfg</code>
* <code>ux0:data/retroarch/playlists</code>

Use the label and path information in lpl to display the rom name and thumbnail.

Wii64 (or Cube64) is an emulator that allows you to play Nintendo 64 games on the Wii and GameCube consoles. It is a port of the popular multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, and utilizes the libOGC library.

The emulator uses dynamic recompilation to convert N64 machine code to PowerPC machine code and utilizes full hardware acceleration for graphics, resulting in mostly full-speed emulation. At this time, the emulator is in beta stage and can run many N64 ROMs at full speed in most cases.

== Features ==
* Emulation via Dynamic Recompiler & Pure Interpreter.
* Hardware Accelerated Graphics (glN64 ported to GX by sepp256).
* ROM Support up to 512MBit.
* Expansion Pak support.
* High Level PowerPC RSP.
* Interpolated Stereo Sound.
* Input via Gamecube & Classic Controller & Wiimote + Nunchuck.
* Configurable input combinations.
* DVD/USB/SDGecko/Front-SD ROM Loading.
* Native Saves.
* Save States.
* Rumble/Controller Pak Support.
* Progressive/Widescreen Resolution.

==Installation==
===How to install===
Extract the contents of the latest release zip to the root of your SD card.
*For SD/USB - Put ROMs in the directory named /wii64/roms, All save types will automatically be placed in /wii64/saves.
*For DVD - ROMs may be anywhere on the disc (requires DVDxV2 on Wii).

ROMs can be z64 (big-endian) or v64 (little endian), or .n64, of any size.

Load the desired executable from the HBC or in the loader of your choice, the emulator is shipped with 2 graphics plugins now.

===Plugins===
Rice GFX Plugin version:
* Slightly faster and has fixed sky boxes in games but isn't as refined as glN64
* Supports hi-res texture pak via Wii64 specific [https://github.com/emukidid/Wii64/releases/tag/texturepacker_1.2 texture packer]

glN64 GFX Plugin version:
* Slightly slower than Rice GFX on certain games
* FrameBuffer texture support (OoT subscreen)
* Optional 2xSaI texture filtering
* Less buggy, more progressed port (e.g. emulates fog)

==User guide==
Quick start:
*Once loaded, select Load ROM. Choose the source (SD/USB/DVD).
*Select the ROM to load (Note: to go up a directory select "..", B will exit the file browser).
*Select Play Game to play.

Once loaded, select New ROM and select the ROM to load and it will automatically start.

The game can be exited any time by:
* Pressing X and Y together on a GC pad or Classic Controller.
* Pressing 1 and 2 together on a Wiimote (only with Nunchuck attached).
* Reset button.
* (Note: this must be done to save your game; it will not be done automatically).

===Button mapping===
* Controls are fully configurable so any button on your controller can be mapped.
*The controller configuration screen presents each N64 button and allows you to toggle through sources.
*There are 4 configuration slots for each type of controller:
** To load a different, previously saved configuration, select the slot, and click "Load".
** After configuring the controls as desired, select the slot, and click "Save".
** After saving different configurations to the slots, be sure to save your configs in the input tab of the settings frame.
*Clicking "Next Pad" will cycle through the N64 controllers assigned.
*There is an option to invert the Y axis of the N64's analog stick; by default this is "Normal Y".
*The "Menu Combo" configuration allows you to select a button combination to return to the menu.

===Settings===
'''General:'''
* Native Saves Device - Choose where to load and save native game saves.
* Save States Device - Choose where to load and save save states.
* Select CPU Core: Choose whether to play games with pure interpreter (better compatibility) or dynarec (better speed).
* Save settings.cfg - Save all of these settings either SD or USB (to be loaded automatically next time).

'''Video:'''
* Show FPS - Display the framerate in the top-left corner of the screen.
* Screen Mode - Select the aspect ratio of the display; 'Force 16:9' will pillar-box the in-game display.
* CPU Framebuffer - Enable for games which only draw directly to the framebuffer (this will only need to be set for some homebrew demos).
* 2xSaI Tex - Scale and Interpolate in-game textures (unstable on GC, not supported in Rice GFX).
* FB Textures - Enable framebuffer textures (necessary for some games to render everything correctly (e.g. Zelda Subscreen), but can impact performance; unstable on GC, not supported in Rice GFX).

'''Input:'''
* Configure Input - Select controllers to use in game.
* Configure Paks - Select which controller paks to use in which controllers.
* Configure Buttons - Enter the controller configuration screen described above.
* Save Button Configs - Save all of the controller configuration slots to SD or USB.
* Auto Load Slot - Select which slot to automatically be loaded for each type of controller.

'''Audio:'''
* Disable Audio - Select to mute the sound.

'''Saves:'''
* Auto Save Native Saves - When enabled, the emulator will automatically load saves from the selected device on ROM load and save when returning to the menu or turning off the console.

Warnel Chawpiovs (abbreviated as WC) is a card game developed by Wololo based on a well known cooperative board game, with full rules enforcement, to play solo or (ultimately) multiplayer.

Differences from the original game:
* Unlike Marvel Champions, Warnel Chawpiovs allows heroes to play their turn in parallel. This is particularly obvious in Multiplayer mode. This is intentional: although the rules of the game state that each player should play their turn one player after the other (and explicitly ask other players to activate abilities or play cards as needed), in practice, most people play simultaneously and synchronize verbally. Because this is a video game, it felt important to me to minimize friction on that aspect, and allow clients to play simultaneously. If you'd rather follow the actual rules and play your turns in order, nothing prevents you from coordinating with your fellow players.
* In Warnel Chawpiovs, minions attack in the order in which they appeared on the board, instead of letting the players choose the order. This is mostly a design decision for gameplay speed. It sometimes impact one's strategy but I felt the benefit was worth it.

This is a fan-created work and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Fantasy Flight Games. All characters, settings, and related elements are the property of their respective owners.

== Features ==
* Complete card rules enforcement capacity, via provided Scripting Engine. (see [https://github.com/frwololo/warnel-chawpiovs/blob/master/doc/script_doc.html doc])
* Multiplayer Support (Work in progress)

== Installation ==
* You will need a hacked Nintendo Switch to run this game.
* Download the binary and the pck file from [https://wololo.net/downloads/index.php/download/10292 Wololo.net].
* Copy them to /switch/ folder on the SD card.
* Launch it from Homebrew Menu (press R while starting the game, not applet mode).

If you are downloading from the [https://github.com/frwololo/warnel-chawpiovs/releases GitHub releases], resources will be automatically downloaded when the game starts (and it can take a while), unless you provide a separate "core.zip" file with those resources.

== User guide ==
This simulator supports the following cards from the original game (current total 36 heroes, 28 villains, as well as associated player cards and encounters):

* Cycle 1:
** Core box (5 heroes, 3 villains)
** Captain America (1 Hero)
** Ms. Marvel (1 Hero)
** Thor (1 Hero)
** Black Widow (1 Hero)
** Hulk (1 Hero)
** Doctor Strange (1 Hero)
* Cycle 2:
** The Rise of Red skull ( 2 heroes, 5 villains)
** Ant-Man (1 Hero)
** Wasp (1 Hero)
** Quicksilver (1 Hero)
** Scarlet Witch (1 Hero)
* Cycle 3:
** The Galaxy's Most Wanted (2 heroes, 5 villains)
** Quicksilver (1 Hero)
** Star-Lord (1 Hero)
** Gamora (1 Hero)
** Drax (1 Hero)
** Venom (1 Hero)
* Cycle 4:
** The Mad Titan's Shadow ( 2 heroes, 5 villains)
** Nebula (1 Hero)
** War Machine (1 Hero)
** Valkyrie (1 Hero)
* Cycle 5:
** Sinister Motives ( 2 heroes, 5 villains)
* Cycle 6:
** Mutant Genesis ( 2 heroes, 5 villains)
** Phoenix (1 Hero)
** Wolverine (1 Hero)
* Cycle 8:
** Nightcrawler (1 Hero)
* Cycle 9:
** Winter soldier (1 Hero)

This represents roughly 40% of all official cards (excluding campaigns) at the time of this writing.

There is no tutorial included, and, although the rules are automatically handled by the engine, it will quickly become confusing if you are not already familar with the original game.

Rules can be found [https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/ab/be/abbef836-d5ef-4241-b2bd-1062df73f367/mvc01_learn_to_play_eng-compressed.pdf here]. (if broken link, go to [https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/marvel-champions-the-card-game/ fantasy flight's official page], scroll down to "support/rules" and select "Learn to play"

For all intents and purposes, Warnel Chawpiovs works for a single player using 1 or 2 heroes. Other game modes, in particular Multiplayer, are hit and miss. The Multiplayer layer in particular is a disgusting pile of race conditions and I'm not sure I have the skills to fix it for now.

* Single Player Mode:
** 1 Player, 1 Hero: Generally works well
** 1 Player, 2 heroes: Should generally work, with the occasional glitch or game-breaking bug
** 1 Player, 3 or 4 heroes: mostly untested
* Multiplayer Mode:
** Multiplayer (2 players, 1 hero per player): The multiplayer mode... exists, but that's about it. It is supposed to work but in practice it's difficult to finish a game without running into a freeze, crash or race condition. To mitigate this, the host can try and click on the "force sync" option button to force other clients to reload the host's current board state.
** Multiplayer (Other cases): Not tested. Multiplayer isn't in a reliable state at the moment, so more than 2 players, or more than 1 hero per player, hasn't been really tested yet.

Hosting a Multiplayer game:
* The host needs to forward port 7777 on their computer/router. The rest should be semi automated.
* Make sure the host clicks on "host" before anybody else clicks on "Join", otherwise things start breaking.

== Known issues ==
* Multiplayer mode is currently broken/experimental.
* Switch port performance is slow without overclocking.
* Some specific cards may have rule enforcement issues.
* Campaign mode is not currently supported.

== Changelog ==
'''v1.5.0 2026/07/03'''
* Added 9 new heroes and their associated cards: Nebula, Gamora, Drax, Wolverine, Venom, Nightcrawler, Scarlet witch, Phoenix, and Valkyrie. This represents roughly 300 new cards.
* Vastly improved the rendering on most devices. If the game looked heavily "pixelated" in previous releases to you, you might want to give this new version a try. Depending on your case, the game possibly went from "text is unreadable and images have an aliasing problem" to "this now looks ok"
* Performance improvements ingame, which now should make the 4 heroes experience in particular much more playable.
* Note: as always, MacOS build is untested

'''v1.4.1 2026/06/17'''
* Bug fixes from 1.4.0

'''v1.4.0 2026/06/16''
* Adds support for "Mutant Genesis" expansion, Winter Soldier Hero Pack, Ant-Man Hero Pack, Wasp Hero Pack, Quicksilver Hero Pack, and Star-Lord Hero Pack:
** New heroes : Winter Soldier, Ant-Man, Wasp, Quicksilver, Star-Lord, Colossus, and Shadowcat
** New villains: Sabretooth, Sentinel, The Mold, the Brotherhood (Pyro, Avalanche, Blob, Toad), and Magneto
* Added support for Android
* Overall improved card pictures quality with better resizing parameters. For people who update from a previous version, it is recommended to delete card pictures (either manually in your user folder, or from the advanced settings in the game) and let the game redownload them.
* QoL improvements:
** Bug Fixes and visual improvements related to heroes changing form, and villain stage defeat
** improvements related to card messages and hints (for interrupts, etc...)
** Scenario description/flavor now shown at the beginning of each scenario
** Added an "advanced settings" sections to access a bunch of "hidden" settings such as the size of preview cards
* Various bug fixes
** Mac display should look better. There was an issue on retina screens where everything looked pixelated, and hopefully this should be fixed. A caveat is that menu screens might be super small now. (Please note that I still do not officially support the Mac release)
** Lots of fixes surrounding "defense" and "declaring a defender" mechanics
** Fixed a regression (introduced in 1.3.0) that crashed the multiplayer lobby
** Introduced multiple layers of caching which should improve loading speeds and in-game framerate. The loading screen in particular should be reasonably fast the second time you run the game and moving forward (first run remains slow as it does a lot of processing and caching)
* Note: as always, MacOS build is untested

'''v1.3.0 2026/05/15'''
* Adds support for "Galaxy's Most Wanted" expansion, Black Widow Hero Pack, Thor Hero Pack, Hulk Hero Pack, Ms. Marvel Hero Pack
** New heroes: Black Widow, Thor, Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Rocket Raccoon and Groot

* Added a Deck Editor
* Various bug fixes

'''v1.2.0 2026/04/17'''

** New heroes: Spider-Man Miles Morales, Ghost Spider, Doctor Strange, War Machine
** New villains: Sandman, Venom, Mysterio, The Sinister 6, Venom-Goblin
* Download of pictures now happens in the background
* Various bug fixes
* Note: MacOS build is untested

'''v1.1.0 2026/02/25'''
* Added "The Mad Titan's Shadow" expansion and "Captain America" Hero pack support

FlashNX is a homebrew Flash player for Nintendo Switch.

Run your Flash games (.swf - AS1/AS2, and part of AS3) straight from the SD card. Powered by [https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle Ruffle].

== Installation ==
Modded Switch with Atmosphère required.

Install via [[Homebrew App Store Switch|Homebrew App Store]] (easiest):
* Open the hb-appstore app on your Switch.
* Search for FlashNX, install. Updates follow automatically.

Or manually:
* Download FlashNX.nro from the [https://github.com/Jonathan8520/FlashNX/releases Releases].
* Copy it to <code>sdmc:/switch/FlashNX/FlashNX.nro</code> (the Homebrew Menu also accepts a loose <code>sdmc:/switch/FlashNX.nro</code>).

Either way: copy your .swf files into <code>sdmc:/flashnx/</code>, then launch FlashNX from the Homebrew Menu.

== User guide ==
'''Cover art''' - the library is a grid of covers, 5 per row (cropped to fill). Drop a <code><game>.png</code> or <code>.jpg</code> next to the <code>.swf</code> to set one, or fetch artwork from the Flashpoint Archive in a game's options (pick from thumbnails).

'''Multi-file games''' - some games load companion <code>.swf</code> files (a title screen, a minigame, music). When you download a game from the '''Flashpoint search (X)''', FlashNX fetches these companions automatically into a <code><game>.files/</code> folder. For a game added another way (URL import, hand-copied), put the companions in that folder yourself (so <code>Foo.swf</code> uses <code>Foo.files/</code>, and <code>Foo.swf</code> loading <code>top.swf</code> reads <code>Foo.files/top.swf</code>).

'''Home-menu shortcuts''' - launch FlashNX with a <code>.swf</code> path as its argument and it boots straight into that game (and returns to the Home menu when you quit). With a forwarder tool you can put a single Flash game on your Switch Home menu, with its cover as the icon. '''Sphaira''' users: FlashNX registers a <code>.swf</code> association, so you can select a game in Sphaira's file browser and "Create a Forwarder" > FlashNX.

'''Automatic saves''' for games that save (SharedObject <code>.sol</code>), on the SD card.

'''Built-in key editor''' (48 Flash keys, configurable per game), plus a '''global default''' layout in the Settings tab.

'''Languages''': English, French, Spanish, Russian, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified, rendered from the console's own shared font), auto-detected from the console's system language, switchable from the Settings tab.

== Controls ==
=== In the library ===
L/R - Switch tabs (Play/Import/Settings)

D-pad or sticks - Move in the cover gallery

A - Play

Y - Sort (name/added/played/size, X reverses)

Minus - Search (filter by name)

Plus - Game options (favorite, controls, rename, cover, delete).

Favorites stay pinned to the top of the gallery. Quit, plus bug report and suggestions, from the Settings tab.

=== Import tab ===
(A list of your saved URLs.)

A - Launch one

Plus (Add a URL row) - Enter a new one

Plus (on a URL) - Edit or delete it

Accepts archive.org items and direct <code>.swf</code> URLs. X searches the Flashpoint Archive and downloads a game (cover and real title included; Plus key on a result shows its details + download size).

=== In game ===
Left Stick/D-Pad - Arrows

A/B/X/Y - Flash keys (remappable)

Right Stick - Mouse cursor

ZR/Touch - Left click

ZL - Right click

Minus - Pause menu

Clicking a text field opens the keyboard.

The control editor picks any Flash key (letters, digits, arrows, F1-F12, symbols, numpad) or mouse click from a visual keyboard, and can turn the Right Stick into a D-Pad (it also covers SL/SR and the stick presses). For games that need more inputs than the pad has buttons, a '''combo layer''' lets you hold one shoulder button (the modifier) so every other button sends a second key, e.g. <code>ZL + A</code> sends <code>F1</code>. In the editor, '''L/R''' move a sub-tab across <code>NORMAL / ZL / ZR / L / R</code>: NORMAL edits the base bindings, and picking a modifier (ZL/ZR/L/R) edits that player's combo layer (rows then read <code>ZL+A</code>, etc.). '''X''' switches the Player 1 / Player 2 tab (each has its own combo layer).

== Known limitations ==
* '''Heavy games''': frame-rate drops come from '''Ruffle's AVM1/AVM2 interpreter''' (CPU-bound, no JIT) - not from our rendering. Out-of-app lever: CPU overclock (sys-clk).
* '''AS3 compatibility''': partial, inherited from Ruffle (see [https://ruffle.rs/compatibility Ruffle compatibility]). AS3 games show a badge in the library.
* '''No savestate / rewind''': Ruffle does not expose a snapshot of the execution state. Games' native <code>.sol</code> saves do work.
* '''Audio''': occasional light crackle on very dense scenes (to be refined).

== Changelog ==
'''v1.5.0 2026/07/03'''
A rework of the control editor, plus new languages and rendering fixes.
* Added
** '''Visual keyboard for remapping''' ([https://github.com/Jonathan8520/FlashNX/issues/55 #55]): pick a key on a full on-screen PC keyboard instead of a scrolling list; keys already in use are highlighted. F1-F12, symbols and numpad operators can now be bound.
** '''Button combos, one layer per modifier''' ([https://github.com/Jonathan8520/FlashNX/issues/57 #57]): hold ZL/ZR/L/R and every other button sends a different key. The four modifiers are independent and work at once, so <code>ZL+A</code> and <code>R+A</code> can differ. Player 1 and Player 2 each have their own layers.
** '''Turkish''', plus a compact '''flag-grid language picker'''.
** '''Show or hide the mouse cursor per game''', and a black outline on the pointer so it stays visible over any art.
** '''Shared control profiles now carry the whole setup''': combos, cursor speed and the show-cursor choice, not just the base bindings.
* Fixes
** '''Very large games no longer go to a white screen''' ([https://github.com/Jonathan8520/FlashNX/issues/56 #56], e.g. the Henry Stickmin titles).
** '''Fewer white screens / out-of-memory on heavy games''' (freed-and-right-sized bitmap layers).
** '''Water and distortion effects render correctly''': displacement-map filters are now supported, and a texture-packing bug that striped these scenes is fixed.
** Smaller fixes: a game no longer appears twice in the shared-profile catalog; cursor-speed-only changes re-enable sharing.
'''v1.4.1 2026/06/28'''
*Fixes
** '''Chinese (and Japanese/Korean) text now shows inside games''': v1.4.0 added Chinese to the app's own menus, but text drawn by a running game still came out blank when the game used a system font for it. Games now fall back to the Switch's built-in fonts for any character a game's own font is missing, so in-game CJK text renders. ([https://github.com/Jonathan8520/FlashNX/issues/54 #54])
** '''Import from Wayback Machine links''': a <code>web.archive.org</code> snapshot URL of a <code>.swf</code> is now accepted and downloads the actual game (it used to be treated as an archive.org item and fail).
*Changed
** The control-profile catalog is now fully community-driven: the one bundled profile (Super Mario 63) was removed, as it only mirrored the default controls anyway. Share and apply profiles from a game's options as before.
'''v1.4.0 2026/06/25'''
* Added
** '''Community control profiles''': share your key bindings for a game and download other players' setups (#20). In a game's options ('''+'''), pick "Share my controls" to publish your profile, or "Apply a profile" to browse what the community has shared for that game and try it; applying a profile is non-destructive and can be reverted. Profiles you shared can be deleted again. Verified and most-applied profiles sort to the top.
** '''More languages''': German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese join the menus, plus '''Simplified Chinese''' (#41) rendered from the Switch's own shared font.
** '''Numpad keys in the controls editor''': the editor now offers Num0–Num9 (the numeric keypad), listed first, for games that read keypad keys separately from the top-row digits. Player 2 defaults to the numpad.
* Fixes
** '''Flashpoint games with a non-ASCII title now import and launch''': a game whose file name uses non-Latin characters (for example ''包丁少女幻窓曲'') failed to download with an error -2. Its address is now encoded correctly. (#51)
** '''Flashpoint games that load their assets on the fly now play''': some games build the paths to their data and art files while running, so those files could not be fetched ahead of time and the game stayed on a blank screen (for example ''Racing is Magic''). Missing files are now pulled from the Flashpoint mirror on demand and cached, for games imported from the Flashpoint search. (#51)

'''v1.3.1 2026/06/19'''
* Added
** '''Local two-player (two controllers)''': a second controller now drives Player 2 through its own set of key bindings, for Flash games where two players share one keyboard (for example ''Fireboy & Watergirl'', ''Dragon Ball Z Devolution''). The controls editor has a Player 1 / Player 2 toggle (press X), and both players' keys are saved per game. Player 2 defaults to WASD so it does not clash with Player 1's arrows. Needs two full controllers (a Pro controller or a Joy-Con pair each). (#40)
** '''Touch controls in the launcher''': in handheld mode you can drag the game gallery to scroll, tap a game to select it, and tap it again to launch it.
** '''Flashpoint content filter toggle''': press ZL+ZR in the Flashpoint search results to turn the content filter on or off. Importing a game also fetches its cover automatically. (#33)
** '''Download of non-zipped Flashpoint games''': games served loose (not as a single archive) now download through the htdocs mirror. (#26)
* Fixes
** '''Super Smash Flash''': the announcer now plays, and the game no longer freezes on a blank screen after a fight instead of showing COMPLETE. Its voices and most of its sound effects use the Nellymoser audio format, which was not enabled. (#29)
** '''No more crash when some games save''': a game saving a self-referential object (for example ''Hemp Tycoon'') used to crash the app. The save now completes. (#33)
** '''Color speckle on translucent effects fixed''': semi-transparent effects (for example the smoke in ''Offroaders'') showed cyan and magenta speckle. (#38)
** '''Flashpoint games with a space in their name now launch the right file''' instead of the first one found in the archive.
** '''The "&" character now shows in the menus''': it was missing from the UI font, so titles like "Fireboy & Watergirl" dropped it.

'''v1.3.0 2026/06/14'''
* Added
** '''Multi-file game support''': a game that loads other <code>.swf</code> files at runtime (<code>loadMovie</code> / <code>loadMovieNum</code> into a level) now finds them in a <code><game>.files/</code> folder next to the <code>.swf</code>. Download a game from the Flashpoint search (X) and its companion files are fetched automatically; for a game added another way, drop the companions in that folder yourself. ''Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt'' now plays from start to finish.
** '''Multi-file indicator''': the launch screen shows a "MULTI-FILE (N)" label when a game pulls in companion files, so you can tell at a glance.
** '''Flashpoint downloads now bring the whole game''': a download from the Flashpoint search now unpacks the game's full bundled set of files (alternate versions, ad-network stubs, data files) and launches the exact version the archive intends, instead of guessing. Games that used to get stuck on a sponsor or "Download the latest Adobe Flash Player" screen (for example ''Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack'') now start and play.
** '''In-game keyboard''': when a Flash game wants text (a player name, a level password, high-score initials, a text adventure), the Switch keyboard opens when you click the text field, pre-filled with its current text and set to the right type (numbers, password, multi-line). Games that were unplayable with a controller alone now work.
** '''Favorites''': in a game's options ('''+'''), mark it as a favorite. Favorites are pinned to the top of the Play gallery with a gold marker, whatever the sort order.
** '''Assignable mouse clicks''': the controls editor now has '''Left click''' and '''Right click''' actions you can bind to any button. By default '''ZR''' is left click and '''ZL''' is right click. The touchscreen still left-clicks.
** '''More mappable inputs''': SL / SR (Joy-Con side buttons), the stick presses (L3 / R3), and the '''right stick as a d-pad''' (bind its directions and it stops being the mouse cursor; the touchscreen stays the cursor).
** '''Much faster Flashpoint downloads''': downloads now batch their writes to the SD card and pump the network harder, turning what used to be a roughly two-minute download into about ten seconds for a large game.
** '''Home-menu shortcuts for a single game''': FlashNX can now be launched straight into one game when its <code>.swf</code> path is passed as a launch argument — it skips the library and returns to the Home menu when you quit. With a homebrew forwarder tool this lets you put a specific Flash game on your Switch Home menu, with its own cover as the icon. If you use '''Sphaira''', FlashNX registers a <code>.swf</code> association on launch, so you can pick a <code>.swf</code> in its file browser, choose "Create a Forwarder", select FlashNX, and the shortcut boots straight into that game.
* Fixes
** '''Buttons mapped to letter or number keys now trigger games that read them as keyboard shortcuts''': a controller button bound to a letter (or a digit or space) now fires a game's keyboard shortcuts, not just its held-key checks. For example ''Scooby-Doo: Mayan Monster Mayhem'' (H for help, S/T to switch the held item) now responds; before, only movement and pickup worked.
** '''Deleting a game also removes its <code><game>.files/</code> companion folder and its favorite mark''', so nothing is left behind on the SD card.
** '''Games that rendered as a blank white screen now display correctly''': very art-heavy games (thousands of on-screen vector shapes at once, for example ''The Binding of Isaac'') exhausted the renderer's geometry buffers, which silently dropped the extra shapes and left most of the game invisible behind a few stray text glyphs. The buffers are now much larger, and a buffer overflow is reported instead of failing silently. (#16, #23)
** '''Large multi-file games now download and run''': big Flashpoint games (over the old 64 MB download limit, loading dozens of companion files by relative path, for example ''Super Brawl 2'') used to show a full download bar and then do nothing, or launch to a black screen. They now extract fully and run. This took a few fixes: a larger download limit, launching the game under its original URL so its relative asset loads resolve, and doing the extraction and asset reads through the C++ filesystem layer (the Rust one drops some files on the Switch).

'''v1.2.1 2026/06/11'''
* Fixes
** '''PixelBender games no longer crash''': some games build a Flash <code>Shader</code> / <code>ShaderFilter</code> at runtime (for example '''The Terminal'''). They used to abort the app the moment the shader was created. They now run normally; the shader's visual effect itself is skipped (this renderer does not run PixelBender), but gameplay and input work. As a bonus, crash messages from the game thread are now captured to the crash log instead of being lost.
* Changes
** '''Clearer bug reports''': a report now includes the game's import URL when it was added from a link, so a game imported under an arbitrary filename can still be identified. The report also reminds you that it opens a public issue on the FlashNX repository, and you can add your GitHub handle if you want a follow-up.

'''v1.2.0 2026/06/10'''
* Features
** '''Tabbed navigation''': a top navbar switched with '''L / R''' between '''Play''' (your games), '''Import''', and '''Settings'''.
** '''Cover gallery''': the Play tab is a grid of cover art, 5 per row (covers are cropped to fill the tile). Games with no cover get a generated tile (color + initials).
** '''Your own covers''': drop a <code><game>.png</code> or <code>.jpg</code> next to the <code>.swf</code> and it shows up as the cover.
** '''Flashpoint covers''': a game's options has a '''Cover''' action that searches the Flashpoint Archive by name and shows the candidates as thumbnails to pick from. The search name is cleaned up automatically (download-id suffixes such as <code>game-15938d603</code> are dropped), and '''−''' lets you retype the title when the filename does not match the catalog (for example <code>catmario</code> to <code>cat mario</code>).
** '''Download games from Flashpoint''': in the Import tab, '''X''' searches the Flashpoint Archive and shows the results as a cover grid; '''A''' downloads a game's <code>.swf</code> directly. Its cover is fetched automatically, and its real title is kept even when the filename cannot hold characters like <code>:</code>. Press '''+''' on a result to see its full title, developer, publisher, release date and download size.
** '''Import as a list''': the Import tab is a list of your saved URLs. Press '''A''' to launch one, use the '''+ Add a URL''' row to enter a new one, and '''+''' on a URL to edit or delete it. It accepts archive.org items and direct <code>.swf</code> URLs.
** '''Sort your library''' ('''Y''' in the Play tab): by name, date added, last played, most played, or size. '''X''' reverses the order, and the choice is saved.
** '''Playtime''': each game tracks how long you have played it (shown under the selected game, and used by the "most played" sort).
** '''Report a bug or send a suggestion''' (Settings tab): flag a game that renders or plays wrong, or send a feature idea. It opens an issue on the FlashNX repository, with no account and no login.
* Changes
** '''Controls''': '''−''' is search, '''+''' is the selected game's options; default controls, language, bug report, suggestion and '''Quit''' all live in the Settings tab. Switching tabs is '''L / R''' only, and '''B''' always just backs out of a modal (the redundant "Back" rows were removed).
** '''Audio level''': the in-app sound now matches the rest of the Switch (it used to be noticeably louder).
* Fixes
** '''Large backgrounds no longer turn white''': games whose backdrop or floor is a bitmap wider or taller than 2048px (for example Mario Combat's sky and ground) used to render as solid white blocks. They now draw correctly.
** '''Deleting a game cleans up everything''': removing a game now also deletes its cached online cover and the cover sidecars saved under the plain game name (on top of the <code>.swf</code> and its keymap/rename/save files), and clears the leftover Import-list "downloaded" badge and the on-screen cover, so re-importing the same game later starts fresh.
** '''Flashpoint cover grids no longer freeze the UI''': logos load in the background, so a broad search with dozens of results stays responsive while the thumbnails fill in.
** '''Missing accents''' restored on several labels (the sort options, "edit", "download").
* Notes
** Covers and downloads use the public Flashpoint Archive APIs (metadata, logos, GameZIP). Downloading a game is always something you choose, one game at a time.
** Bug reports and suggestions are anonymous: they go through a small relay that opens a GitHub issue, so you never need an account or to log in.

'''v1.1.1 2026/06/05'''
* Fixes
** '''URL history no longer disappears in applet mode''': history (and saves, settings, renamed-game sidecars) is now read with a bounded reader and committed to the SD card after every write, so it survives switching between applet (album takeover) and full title-takeover modes. Previously the history could read empty in applet mode, or get overwritten by the next change.
** '''HTTPS import errors are now readable''': a failed import shows the real cause (libcurl code and message, HTTP status) instead of an opaque "code -2", so you can tell whether it is the console clock, DNS, the certificate bundle, or a blocked link.
* Features
** '''Search the local library''': press '''X''' to filter the game list by name (empty input clears the filter), the same way the archive.org screen already works.
** '''Clear applet-mode notice''': trying to launch a game without the full app memory now shows a readable message ("launch via title takeover") instead of a red screen.
* Changes
** '''More consistent controls''': '''X''' is search on every list, and '''ZL''' manages the selected item (game options in the library, delete URL in the import history). The on-screen footers reflect the new layout.
** The default example URL is now a neutral placeholder.

'''v1.1.0 2026/06/04'''
* Features
** '''Settings modal (<code>+</code> in the library)''': a new global settings screen with two entries — '''default controls''' (edit the global default keymap used by every game without a per-game override) and '''language'''.
** '''URL history management''': in the archive.org import screen, '''X''' removes the currently-shown URL from the history (with a confirmation modal).
** '''Quit returns to the right row''': leaving a game (pause menu → QUIT) lands the cursor back on the game you were playing, instead of jumping to the top of the list.
** '''Pause menu shows the game's name''' under "PAUSE" (like the OPTIONS modal).
** '''Library shows 8 games''' at once (was 6).
* Notes
** The chosen language is persisted to <code>sdmc:/flashnx/settings.json</code>.
** Flash key names (<code>Space</code>, <code>Shift</code>, <code>A</code>…<code>Z</code>) are technical identifiers and remain untranslated; only UI labels and messages are localized.
** Opening the settings modal returns to the previously-selected game row (like the OPTIONS modal).

'''v1.0.0 2026/05/31'''
* First official release. FlashNX runs AS1/AS2 Flash games (and part of AS3) straight from your Switch's SD card.

== Credits ==
FlashNX is only a '''Switch integration layer''' on top of remarkable projects - all credit for the Flash emulation goes to '''Ruffle'''.

'''Core'''
* '''[https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle Ruffle]''' — ''Apache-2.0 / MIT'' — Flash engine (SWF parsing + AVM1/AVM2 interpreter). FlashNX embeds <code>ruffle_core</code>, <code>ruffle_render</code>, <code>swf</code>.
* '''[https://devkitpro.org/ devkitPro] / libnx''' — ''ISC'' — Switch toolchain + Horizon API (audio '''audren''', input '''hid''', threads, exception handler).
* '''[https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman-packages switch-mesa]''' — ''MIT'' — OpenGL/GLES via Nouveau, the graphics backend.

'''Game & cover data'''
* '''[https://flashpointarchive.org/ Flashpoint Archive]''': the Flash game preservation project. FlashNX uses its public APIs (search, logos, GameZIPs) so you can find cover art and download the games you choose. All preserved games stay the property of their original creators, and FlashNX only fetches what you explicitly request.

'''Network (archive.org import over HTTPS)'''
* [https://curl.se/ libcurl] · [https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls Mbed-TLS] · [https://zlib.net/ zlib] · [https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html Mozilla] CA certificate bundle.

Can't decide what to play? Let your 3DS pick a random installed title and launch it.

Originally created by [https://github.com/einso einso] as a proof-of-concept, this fork adds SMDH title resolution, filtering, persistent settings, and a rebuilt offline catalog. The project uses code from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples/blob/master/app_launch/source/main.c devkitPro 3ds-examples app_launch template].

The offline catalog in <code>source/title_database.c</code> enables filtering of homebrew apps against official title IDs (8,700+ entries).

==Features==
* Picks a random eligible title from your library and launches it.
* Shows a readable name (from the title's SMDH icon).
* Reroll as many times as you like before launching.
* Press SELECT for detailed filter options
* Filter what can be picked: native apps, Virtual Console, DSiWare, demos, DLC, patches, system titles, and more.
* Scan SD card and/or NAND (both configurable).
* Unlisted only / Homebrew only mode for homebrew and titles not in the database.
* Options saved to SD - your filters and preferences persist between sessions.
* While viewing a pick, use L/R to page through game, detail, and technical info screens.

==Installation==
===Via Universal Updater===
*Open [[Universal-Updater 3DS]] on your 3DS.
*Search for "3DS Random Game Launcher".
*Install the CIA (Home Menu icon) or 3DSX (Homebrew Launcher).

===Manual installation (3dsx)===
*Download the latest .3dsx file from the [https://github.com/selloa/3DS-Random-Game-Launcher/releases Releases] page.
*Copy the .3dsx file to the <code>/3ds/</code> folder on the SD card.
*Launch from the Homebrew Launcher.

===Manual installation (CIA)===
*Download the latest .cia file from the [https://github.com/selloa/3DS-Random-Game-Launcher/releases Releases] page.
*Install using [[FBI_3DS|FBI]], [[Universal-Updater 3DS|Universal Updater]], or another CIA installer.
*Launch from the 3DS Home Screen.

==Controls==
A - Launch selected title

Y - Reroll

L/R - Switch Game / Details / Technical pages

SELECT - Options / filters

X - Toggle homebrew-only mode (Game page)

START - Exit

In the options menu: Up/Down to move, A to toggle or restore defaults, B or SELECT to close (saves settings).

==Screenshots==

LibNXboxNROHelper is a tool that helps you download and process Xbox Game Pass game images with a custom overlay, intended for creating custom artwork for a game library. The application lets you search for Xbox Game Pass games by name, download official game tile images, apply a custom overlay to the images, and save processed images with the game's xCloud ID.

== Features ==
* Search for Xbox Game Pass games by name
* Download official game tile images
* Apply a custom overlay to the images
* Save processed images with the game's xCloud ID

== Installation ==
'''Before you start'''

* '''Xbox/Microsoft Account''' – You need to sign in with your Microsoft account when the tool starts.
* '''Overlay Image''' (optional) – Place a file named <code>overlay.png</code> in the same folder as the application if you want to add a custom overlay to your images.

'''How to use'''

Step 1: Launch the application. Double-click the application to start it. You will be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account.

Step 2: Search for games. When prompted with <code>Enter title name...</code>, type the name of a game you want to find. The tool will show all matching games with their IDs. Continue entering more game names to add them to your list. When you are done searching, press Enter without typing anything to continue.

Step 3: Processing. The tool will automatically download each game's tile image, resize it to 242x242 pixels, apply your overlay (if provided), and save the processed image.

Step 4: Find your images. Once complete, the processed images are in the <code>ProcessedImages</code> folder, located in the same directory as the application. Each image is named with the game's xCloud ID (e.g., <code>123456789.png</code>).

'''Output files'''

* '''ProcessedImages folder''' – Contains all processed game images.
* '''titles.txt''' – A text file listing all processed games with their names and xCloud IDs.

== Tips ==
* '''Custom Overlay''': Your <code>overlay.png</code> file will be automatically resized to 242x242 pixels and placed on top of each game image.
* '''No Overlay''': If you don't have an overlay file, the tool will still work and save the original game images (resized).
* '''Duplicates''': The tool automatically skips duplicate games, so you don't need to worry about searching for the same game twice.

== Troubleshooting ==
'''"Warning: Overlay not found"'''
* This is just a warning. The tool will continue without an overlay. Place <code>overlay.png</code> in the application folder if you want to use one.

'''Image download fails'''
* Some games may not have images available. The tool will display an error message but continue processing other games.

'''Authentication issues'''
* Make sure you're signed in with a valid Microsoft account.
* Check your internet connection.

==Changelog==
'''v1.0'''
* First Release.

UnleashedRecomp-NX is a Nintendo Switch port of Unleashed Recompiled, an unofficial recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of ''Sonic Unleashed'' created through the process of static recompilation. Unleashed Recompiled comes with a number of built-in enhancements such as high resolutions, ultrawide support, high frame rates, improved performance and modding support.

The project does not include any game assets. Players must provide the files from their own legally acquired copy of the game in order to install or build it.

== Installation ==
'''Place''' <code>UnleashedRecompiled.nro</code> '''at''' <code>sdmc:/switch/</code>

Notes:
* This is a relatively demanding game. It is strongly recommended to use '''sys-clk''' to apply a CPU/GPU overclock for the best experience. =
* '''USE 30FPS 400p or LOWER WITH MSAA OFF'''

=== Recommended method (PC → Switch) ===
The easiest and fastest way to install is to run the Windows/Linux/macOS installer first, then copy the generated folders to your SD card:

<pre>sdmc:/switch/UnleashedRecomp/game
sdmc:/switch/UnleashedRecomp/update
sdmc:/switch/UnleashedRecomp/dlc</pre>

=== Installing directly from a disc image ===
Most SD cards are formatted as FAT32, which does not support files larger than 4GB — so copying the ISO directly is not supported. Instead, extract your original game copy using [nxiso](https://alex-free.github.io/nxiso/) and place the extracted files alongside the ISO at:

<pre>sdmc:/switch/UnleashedRecomp/install</pre>

'''4NXCI-2026''' is based on the work of [https://github.com/tiliarou/4NXCI 4NXCI] by The-4n. It is a modernized version for Visual Studio 2026 with performance improvements and updated dependencies.

This tool processes individual XCI files. To process an entire folder of XCI files, [https://github.com/tetj/ConvertXciToNsp ConvertXciToNsp] provides batch processing functionality.

'''Enhanced File Naming Format'''

NSP files are organized with descriptive names and proper categorization:
* '''Base Games''': <code>GameTitle[TitleID][BASE].nsp</code>
* '''Updates/Patches''': <code>GameTitle[TitleID][v65536][UPD].nsp</code>
* '''DLC/Add-ons''': <code>GameTitle[TitleID][DLC].nsp</code>

All NSP files are automatically organized into a folder named after the game title. The source XCI file is kept by default unless the <code>-d</code> flag is specified.

Example folder structure:
<pre>
4nxci.exe -c "The Legend of Zelda BOTW.xci"

The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild/
├── The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild[01007EF00011E000][BASE].nsp
├── The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild[01007EF00011E000][v196608][UPD].nsp
└── The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild[01007EF00011E000][DLC].nsp
</pre>

'''Performance Enhancements'''
* Multi-threaded processing for applications, patches, and add-ons
* Optimized file I/O with 16MB buffering for XCI files
* Parallel extraction when multiple CPU cores are available

== Installation ==
'''Recommended usage (2026):'''
<pre>
.\4nxci.exe -c <path_to_file.xci>
</pre>

Add <code>-d</code> to delete the source XCI file after conversion:
<pre>
.\4nxci.exe -c -d <path_to_file.xci>
</pre>

'''Rename existing NSP/NSZ files:'''
<pre>
.\4nxci.exe -r <path_to_file.nsp>
.\4nxci.exe -r <path_to_file.nsz>
</pre>

This will rename the NSP or NSZ file to match the naming format based on its internal metadata (Title ID, version, type). The original extension is preserved in the output filename.

'''Title name database:'''

The tool relies on <code>US.en.json</code> (blawar's [https://github.com/blawar/titledb titledb]) to resolve Title IDs to game names. It is automatically downloaded (~77 MB) the first time <code>-r</code> is used, and refreshed automatically when the local copy is older than 7 days.

The tool will automatically:
# Look up the title name from the database using the Title ID
# Fall back to using the Title ID if not found (e.g., Japan-exclusive titles, homebrew, unofficial releases)

When falling back, the Title ID is used as the name instead:
<pre>
010044901C5C2000[010044901C5C2000][BASE].nsp
</pre>

'''Full command syntax (LEGACY/DEPRECATED):'''
<pre>
.\4nxci.exe [options...] <path_to_file.xci>

Options:
-k, --keyset Set keyset filepath, default filepath is .\keys.dat
-h, --help Display usage
-t, --tempdir Set temporary directory path
-o, --outdir Set output directory path
-e, --extract Use Titlename instead of Titleid in nsp name
-d, --delete Delete source XCI file after successful conversion
--keepncaid Keep current ncas ids
</pre>

'''Required Keys:'''

The tool will automatically search for key files in this order:
# <code>keys.dat</code>
# <code>keys.txt</code>
# <code>keys.ini</code>
# <code>prod.keys</code> (recommended - standard output from lockpick_rcm)

Place one of these key files in the same directory as the executable, or specify a custom path with the <code>-k</code> option.

You can obtain <code>prod.keys</code> from your Nintendo Switch using Lockpick_RCM.

==Changelog==
'''v1.0'''
* First Release.

|title=Switch Homebrew Apps (Save Managers and Editors) - GameBrew
|title_mode=append
|image=TomoToolNXSwitch.png
|image_alt=TomoToolNX
}}
TomoToolNX is a Nintendo Switch homebrew tool for editing Tomodachi Life save data directly from the console — no PC required. Both WebUI and on-Switch modes are supported.

The project is based on [https://gamebanana.com/tools/22435 LivinTheDreamToolkit] by the UGC editor contributors. Mii sharing is based on [https://github.com/Star-F0rce/ShareMii ShareMii] by Star-F0rce. The save-file parser, generated data tables (wishes, habits, clothes, coordinates, treasures), Map.sav schema hashes, UGC kind table, housing-edit safety rules, and the Custom BC1/BC3 texture encoder are derived from [https://github.com/alexislours/ltd-save-editor alexislours/ltd-save-editor] (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Early reference for save key hashes came from [https://github.com/tlmodding/ltd-gamedata tlmodding/ltd-gamedata].

== Features ==
* '''Textures''' — swap any UGC texture (FacePaint, Food, Goods, Thumbs) by importing a PNG. Images are resized, alpha-cleaned, and re-encoded automatically.
* '''Miis''' — edit just about everything visible: stats, words, habits, belongings, relationships, housing, and the social graph. Import / export individual Miis as <code>.ltd</code> files.
* '''TomodachiShare''' — browse the online catalogue, search and filter, preview, and download shared Miis directly into a save slot.
* '''Player save''' — adjust the global player fields: name, island, money, currency, birthday, region, languages, wishes, fountain, island size, and more.
* '''Map''' — view your island as a 120×80 tile grid, click any object to inspect and edit its position, rotation, linked map ID, or which Miis live in it; place new objects or remove existing ones. Works on both the WebUI and the on-Switch controller / touch UI.
* '''Backups''' — your save is copied to the SD card before any edit, and every texture import keeps a per-file backup. Restore from inside the app.
* '''MTP over USB''' — the SD card mounts as a USB drive while the WebUI is running (via [https://github.com/ITotalJustice/libhaze libhaze]).
* '''Translations''' — both the WebUI and the on-Switch UI can be translated by editing plain text files. Contributions welcome.
* '''Update check''' — on launch, lets you know when a newer release is up on GitHub.

== Installation ==
Copy <code>TomoToolNX.nro</code> to <code>/switch/TomoToolNX/</code> on your SD card and launch from the homebrew menu.

=== Usage ===
Launch the app, pick a user account, decide what to do with any existing save backup, then choose a mode:
* '''WebUI''' — starts a local HTTP server. Open <code>http://<switch-ip>:8080</code> on any device on the same network and edit from the browser. The SD card also mounts over USB while the server is running.
* '''On-Switch''' — browse and edit directly with the controller. Tabs are switched with '''L / R''' (or '''ZL / ZR'''); each tab shows its own controls at the bottom of the screen.

Press '''B''' to back out at any point. The app prompts before discarding unsaved changes.

A few notes on textures: PNGs are auto-resized to the target format, a transparent background with clean edges gives the best result, and encoding is sRGB-aware to match the game's color reproduction. The default Custom encoder is a faithful port of ltd-save-editor's BC1/BC3 encoder; a faster PCA-only fallback is available in the settings.

uNX Save Sync (aka. uNSS) is a Nintendo Switch application that allows synchronization of save data between multiple devices through a central remote server.

The central remote server manages save data with internal revision IDs for each user and title.

== Installation ==
=== Client ===
To use remote server synchronization, settings must be configured first. The uNSS client reads settings from <code>sdmc:/uNSS/config.ini</code>.

<pre>
[remote]
enabled=1
serverUrl=http://your.hostname.com:8989

[account]
; Nickname of the Switch user profile to operate on.
; Must exactly match the nickname shown in the system's "My Page".
defaultAccountName=MyNickname
; 1 (default): use psel applet (profile selector) first,
; fall back to defaultAccountName only when that fails
; (this is always the case in applet mode, since a
; library applet cannot launch psel).
; 0 : skip psel entirely and always resolve the account
; from defaultAccountName.
useProfileSelector=1

[title]
; Which titles to include when pushing save data (archiving).
; "created" (default): only titles that already have save data on this console.
; "all" : every installed title, even if it has never been saved.
archiveBy=created

; Which titles to include when pulling save data (restoring).
; "all" (default) : every installed title, even if it has never been saved.
; uNSS will automatically create save data for titles
; that don't have any yet.
; "created" : only titles that already have save data on this console.
restoreBy=all

; Exclude specific titles by title ID (hex, comma-separated).
; excludedTitleIds=0100000000010000,010000000000100B

; Exclude specific titles by name (separated by "||").
; excludedTitleNames=uNSS||DBI
</pre>

Save data is pushed to the remote by pressing the Push button, and pulled from the remote by pressing the Pull button.

'''<code>[account]</code> behavior:'''
{| class="wikitable"
! Launch context !! <code>useProfileSelector=1</code> (default) !! <code>useProfileSelector=0</code>
|-
| Full application mode (forwarder / title takeover) || Use psel applet → fall back to <code>defaultAccountName</code> || Always use <code>defaultAccountName</code>
|-
| Applet mode (hbmenu via album applet) || Use <code>defaultAccountName</code> (psel is unavailable to library applets) || Use <code>defaultAccountName</code>
|}

If <code>defaultAccountName</code> is unset (or does not match any registered user) when the client needs it, uNSS prints an explanatory message and only the Exit option is available.

=== Server ===
Running the server via the Python interpreter requires some dependencies. Install the dependencies first:
<pre>
pip install -r requirements.txt
</pre>

'''Linux / macOS'''

Background mode:
<pre>
nohup run-linux.sh
</pre>

Foreground mode:
<pre>
./run-linux.sh
</pre>

or:
<pre>
python main.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8989
</pre>

'''Windows'''

Just use the prebuilt binary made by PyInstaller.
