December 2023 roundup

Added 2024-01-06 11:06:59 +0000 UTC

The end of a another year providing tools and libraries for (mostly) Nintendo game console homebrew. We've been working on things mostly in private for a bit thanks to the propensity of some people to take what we do, rebrand it as theirs and use it to big themselves up in places mostly dedicated to piracy. More on that aspect of our work soon when we're happy it's in a releasable state.

We've still had a few updates over the month to address some bugs, new feature requests and general maintenance.

3ds-libzstd was added as part of updating 3ds-libarchive to the latest stable upstream.

Wii and gamecube saw some love with where we lowered the default priority for background threads in sdl and fixed a typo in the sdl_gfx source which made it upstream. With libogc we finally got around to investigating how Dolphin handles debug messages and added code to send text to the emulated uart.

On the Switch side we added switch-libplacebo, a new lib to us contributed by dragonflylee, updated switch-ode to latest upstream and made a new release of libnx primarily to address a crash with global constructors.

With thanks to our contributors and of course our wonderful Patrons who help keep the wolves from the door.

Happy Holidays everyone.
