Progress Report October 2023

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.

Progress Report September 2023

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

Progress Report July/August 2023

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.

Progress Report June 2023

Wooooooahhh we’re halfway 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,

Progress Report May 2023

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

Progress Report April 2023

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. Or that's what we usually

Progress Report March 2023

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,

Progress Report February 2023

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

Progress Report January 2023

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

Progress Report December 2022

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

Progress Report November 2022

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! All-in-all we’ve had a busy

The Impossible Port: MacOS

Let's cut to the chase: macOS and Apple Silicon support (including older Intel Macs, although your mileage may vary)!  Even with all the hurdles, roadblocks and brick walls put in our way, we're finally back on Mac! And back in style! With the launch of a new entry in the

Introducing LDN3 - Now featuring ldn_mitm support!

It's been nearly two years since the initial release of LDN2, the second iteration of our core LDN functionality, which added LAN connectivity with Nintendo Switch consoles in supported titles. Two years of stability, performance and feature improvements shifted the landscape all the way to our previous release: LDN2.5.

Progress Report October 2022

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!

Progress Report September 2022

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,

Progress Report August 2022

Another month rolls by the wayside and that means another progress report from your favorite Nintendo Switch emulator, nay, favorite piece of software ever developed. It’s hard work being this humble let us tell you. To dispense with the pleasantries, what can you expect to read below? We’ve

Progress Report July 2022

What a year huh? Captain, it’s only August. 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. So what do we

Vulkan joins the roster!

July 31st 2022 marks the one-year anniversary of the hotly anticipated test release of Vulkan and now, finally, the time has arrived. One year of testing, nearly 40,000 lines of code and over 700 reports spanning 122 people have brought us here and we are so ready to tell

Progress Report June 2022

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

Progress Report April 2022

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

Progress Report

Progress Report March 2022

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

Progress Report February 2022

February has gone and left us all too soon once again. Who thought that 28 days was enough to make it a worthwhile month? But rest assured what the month lacked in days our development team more than paid back in the avalanche of improvements, fixes, additions and ongoing project

New year, new month, and new progress! We hope everyone has been enjoying the new year as much as we have. 2022 has been quite the adventure already with a brand new main series Pokémon title, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Alongside that big release we’ve been working hard with the
