Cpasjuste updated his Super Nintendo Entertainment / SNES / Super Famicom emulator pSNES to be used with a homebrew enabled Nintendo Switch device. This release does not come with any roms. You can find freeand legal SNES roms here on PDRoms tho.

Changes:

* remove “db.xml” dependency, remove the file to do so (you can still use it for a better experience).

* add/fix Super FX (Star Fox still have some graphical glitches)
* add video filters (TV2X, SMOOTH, SUPEREAGLE, 2XSAI, SUPER2XSAI, EPX, HQ2X). Some filter will slow down some games.

* major speed improvement
* fix per rom config applied to all roms
* print snes9x messages to screen
* add 2 players capability (untested)

NX-Shell is a multipurpose open source file manager for Nintendo Switch by Joel.

Features:

* Added a menu bar – Use the Y button to access it. (Can only open settings for now, so the settings icon stays highlighted. The animation is something I tend to improve upon in later releases)
* Added dark theme mode. (Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
* Added .ZIP extraction. (Press A on a .zip file)
* Added Sorting options under settings. (Sort by alphabetical – ascending and descending order, by date (currently doesn’t work properly), by size – smallest and largest).
* Add support for GIF/BMP images in image viewer. (GIFs will be displayed as a static image)

Improvements and Fixes:

* Progress bar is now properly displayed for copying/moving/extracting files.
* Improved many textures as well as some internal improvements in handling textures and some fixes with font alignment in certain areas.
* Fixed copy/move being enabled at the same time. If you press B in the options dialog it will cancel the item that is currently in the copy/move list. Instead, X should be used to open/close the file options dialog. The row/column will also reset when the B key is pressed.
* Freed some textures that weren’t previously freed, also free entries once we are done using them.
