February is here which must mean that January has slid by once again.
While this time of year isn’t usually so hot for those twitter-melting AAA games, we all sometimes need less action packed schedules. Ubisoft proved they still have some ability to make a compelling video game, and potential game of the year: Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, proves that just about any idea can ...
Happy New Year!
We hope everyone is having a great start to 2024 and that you’re all rejuvenated for another year of listening to these (mostly) regular rambles. We’ve got a fair bit to go through including the usual sprinkling of graphical fixes, a nice meaty section that users of battery-powered devices will want to read and, of course, our usual yearly wrap up on a few different t...
Had your fill of candy, sweets, or whatever your localized version of ‘edible items that are actually quite bad for you but they taste great’? We hope so, because the end of a month signals not only the start of the next, but also another progress report from yours truly.
In what was quite possibly the most spooky game launch of all time, Super Mario Wonder graced both our Sw...

Gather once more at the three-quarter mark, for beyond this point, your days become dark.
September was an unusually quiet month for our friends publishing games with the only games of note being a rather underwhelming Baten Kaitos remaster, alongside a questionable Mortal Kombat 1. At least the latter managed to bring some comedy to its otherwise haunting visuals.
Miss us? Summer only lasts so long and some of us need our holidays.
2023 continued to deliver swathes of new switch titles with Pikmin 4 and a remast-... what? It’s a port? Well if you say so… Ahem, a re-release of Rockstar’s western classic: Red Dead Redemption. A game which has been killing emulators since before some of our readers could read. Luckily we’re, as the ki...

Wooooooahhh we’re half-way thereeee… 🎶
No matter how the year has gone so far, the midpoint always feels weird. Wasn’t it like January a couple weeks ago? Compared to May, while no genre defining blockbusters graced us with their presence. Pikmin fans had a demo to sink their teeth into, a new entry: Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE from the development team of Danga...

May we offer you a progress report this fine month?
Tears were shed, monarchies were restored, and we’ve seen a fully-functional, multi-stage detachable dropship, complete with cruise missile systems and meat grill in a Zelda game. Truly, nature is healing. If you hadn’t already guessed, this month has been almost entirely monopolized by that pesky blonde princess, but fear not, we di...

Hello folks, it’s your favorite time of the month once again. No need to say anything, we know it’s true!
Plenty happened in April which you’ll soon discover below, but before that let’s take a look through the current patreon goals.
We’d like to reiterate once again that any features listed below will eventually be worked on, regardless of the goal being met. It would sim...

We’re cruising our way into the second quarter of 2023 and finally got news on that new Zelda game everyone is so angsty about; did the presentation meet everyone’s expectations? All of us are incredibly excited to see what Nintendo has in store for this oddly familiar-looking adventure, and of course, to see what challenges it’ll bring Ryujinx. We hope you all had a great month,...

Bye-bye February, you won’t be missed. Does anyone actually like it? Short, cold and dark. Maybe if you live in an upside down part of the world you disagree, but you’d still be wrong!
February marked a couple of exciting events in the lives of Nintendo fans: a Direct, a Pokémon Presents, and a stealth drop of a certified classic; thus proving that if you need to delay a game, simply...

Gather back round the fire for another month. This time you can tell us all about your resolutions, both ongoing and already failed.
Compared to 2022 with Legends Arceus, January was far less hectic. Fire Emblem: Engage being playable on day 1 meant that there wasn’t a need for developers to leave whatever they were currently working on to handle damage control. We’re trying to build ...

Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a festive end to a truly incredible year. So much ground has been covered each and every month of 2022, and December wasn’t about to break that trend. Performance improvements, fewer black-screening games and some upstreaming work for macOS littered the thirty-one day span, with more than just rampant consumerism for all to enjoy.
So strap...

Wow. What a month. November is not typically this eventful, but sometimes a little spice is exactly what the Doctor ordered.
LDN being introduced to the number 3, macOS meeting a graphically demanding program, and Ryujinx facing its final adversary… the cardinal direction, North!

LDN 3.1.3 is out!
This brings the multiplayer build up to date with 1.1.651. In addition to that, it fixes some LDN related bugs present on the previous version.
Key changes:
- Fixed an issue where P2P connections would be rejected.
- Fixed a bug that caused ldn_mitm to crash.
- Fixed a crash when running ARCropolis mods on Super Smash Bros. Ultima...

Just like the nine months before it; October has slid gently into the rearview mirror and, by our estimates, shouldn’t be closer than it appears for at least another year.
NieR, Persona, Bayonetta, and a new contender for the coveted “why did this get a sequel?” award: Mario + Rabbids! While that last one is a bit of a horror story as far as emulating the damn thing goes, we’re th...

September's report? You’re trying to tell me we just hit the 75% mark on the year? Madness.
This month marked not only the turn from summer to autumn and some major world events but, most importantly of course, the launch of Splatoon 3. With the holiday season fast approaching, that means game releases, game releases and…you guessed it, game releases. The characteristic eye-t...

What, a year huh? Captain, it’s only July.
So much happened in July that it felt infinitely longer than a measly 31 days. A new Xenoblade, Digimon (yep all 5 of you), patreon goals finally coming to fruition; we truly had a month to remember.

Half-way through 2022 already and time sure flies when we have some good games to play! Speaking of games, some real bangers were released this month and we’re happy to say that most of them work, either out of the box or with some small workarounds. Despite coming from Koei Tecmo (a name all emulator developers fear), Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, both the demo and full-game, r...

April… a month deriving from the Latin word ‘aperire’ or ‘to open’. How does this relate to Switch emulation? You can probably think of a few metaphors, but honestly I just thought it sounded kinda interesting. This month we’re covering some major changes and also a pretty meaty section on the recent progress to the Vulkan backend, which was absent last month.

Here we are once more at the end of Q1 and progressing steadily toward the halfway mark of 2022! This month saw improvements to almost every aspect of Ryujinx, a new console is loose which got the emulation community all of a flutter and some killer new releases that, guess what, ran on day one!
Before all that though check out our patreon goals and progress toward them:
