November turned out to be a big month with around 25 package updates as well as the necessary 26 binaries being packaged to support aarch64 linux-musl. We had already put together the binaries for x86_64 linux-musl for testing but hadn't got around to announcing those yet. You have temuenjoyer78 to thank for reminding us of one of the many things on the infinitely expanding todo list. Our Wii and Gamecube updates this month were mostly sdl2 related libraries with updats to sdl2, sdl2_image an...

This month we've added weak linking machinery to the opengx, and wii/gamecube SDL2 packages to ensure applications aren't pulling in opengx unnecessarily. wut has seen many more improvements and fixes thanks largely to GaryOderNichts and Maschell. Alberto continues his sterling work bringing openGL to wii & gamecube homebrew with many more additions to opengx. p...

We are unfortunately not the greatest at keeping up with release announcements but there has been quite a lot done in the months since January. We did make announcements as we went during February at https://devkitpro.org/viewtopic.php?t=9530 but didn't get around to the summary post here. We're going to try to catch these up and work on getting monthly summaries here in better time. Please bear with us as...

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...

Cpasjuste provided us with some more fixes for switch-libmpv. devkit...
