Retroguru comes up with another surprise this weekend. Xump 2 is yet another entry at Revision 2017, currently ongoing.
It’s a follow up of their game Xump, but you it’s not Holger whom you take controls, now it’s Misuki. Destroy blocks systematically to clear another 48 fields. Puzzle fun ahead! A real physical cart will follow, once the game is final.
EasyRPG Player is an open source implementation of the RPG Maker 2000/2003 engine. Get a RPG Maker 2000/2003 game and place the Player (boot.dol) in the root directory of the game (that’s where RPG_RT.exe is). The program has no file browser, each game really needs its own boot.dol!
Changes:
Half a year after the 0.5 release we provide the first bugfix release which brings interpreter fixes (as usual), a few new features and resolves a crash we encountered in 0.5.
SNES9x for 3DS is a high-compatibility SNES emulator for your old 3DS / 2DS. It runs many games at full speed (60 fps). It supports games that use CX4 chip (Megaman X2/X3), and the SDD-1 chip (Star Ocean, Super Street Fighter 2 Alpha). It can also play games that use the SuperFX chip (Yoshi’s Island, etc) but they run with plenty of frame skips. It has generally much high compatibility than existing SNES emulators on the old 3DS because it uses Snes9x 1.43 as a base, and is a good alternative if your existing emulators cannot play all the games.
Changes:
* Fixed crashing bug when loading CHX cheat files.
nop90 does a great service to the Nintendo 3DS community by releasing a greatly improved port of libSDL. This should raise the library of Nintendo 3DS homebrew games really fast!

– Udated to use tatest DevKitPro and ctrulib
