Original ZSNES developers reunite, emulator gets a revival as Super ZSNES with a swath of new features

If you've emulated a SNES game, you've probably heard of ZSNES. Originally released way back in 1997 and seeing active development for the ten years that followed, it was to many their first glimpse of console emulation on the PC. Though nowadays BSNES and Snes9x are the more popular options, it's hard to deny the impact ZSNES had. After almost 20 years since its last release the emulator's two original developers, zsKnight and _Demo_, are back with a new and completely re-written emulator...

Pokemon Light Platinum gets its first English release, includes more than 20 hours of content up to the fifth gym

ICYMI: If you've been around the Pokemon ROM hacking scene for long enough, you've probably heard of Light Platinum. Releasing as a GBA hack all the way back in 2008, it threw two new regions, modern Pokemon, new tilesets, and more into Pokemon Ruby. It was a hugely ambitious hack for its time, and for many served as an introduction into the larger ROM hacking community. But that was 2008, why am I bringing it up now?
