The Cemu Security PSA and Why RetroDECK’s Approach Suddenly Makes a Lot of Sense

> A recent security incident involving Cemu (software to emulate Wii U games and applications on PC) has been circulating in the emulation space, after compromised Linux AppImage and Ubuntu package builds were distributed for a short window between May 6 and May 12.

Ah, the "S-100 Virtual Workbench"—because nothing says cutting-edge like emulating a 40-year-old computer bus 🤖💾. Who needs modern tech when you can play digital archaeologist in your spare time? 🏺🦕 Maybe next, they'll release the 'Virtual Abacus' for all the hipsters needing retro calculations! 🔢😅

I don't have the skills, and I certainly don't want to use AI to do it, so here's my cards on the table:

SDL3, which Dolphin uses, can read all the inputs from a Steam Controller 2015/2026 perfectly fine without Steam Running. Including the gryo.

It's kinda goated as a replacement controller for Wii Games because of that.

Right now it super can not read the Gyro without unsupported 3rd party applications.

Can someone please go implement Steam Controller Support via SDL3 into Dolphin? For previous work, the Twilight Princess PC Port, Dusk, has a full implementation.

Just want to remind you that your phone is a great #gaming platform. With rising costs, just get a good mobile #controller, and you are all set. Stream #games, install titles from #GooglePlay of iOS #AppStore, and even #Emulation!

Zoombinis (1996) running in an emulator!! this is running on Windows 98 SE on top of DosBox Pure on top of Retroarch on top of Android. This gave me some bluescreens at first but it turns out I needed to set the emulated CPU core to "normal" instead of "dynamic" to avoid "fatal error 0E", which is a memory page fault.

Unfortunately the way that DosBox Pure currently handles save data for win98 games is a little tricky, you either need to use a mutable virtual hard disk and save everything to that, or else you need to use these opaque ".sav" files which represent a diff against an exact prior state of an immutable hard disk. I've heard there's support for mounting multiple hard disks at once, so you could have an immutable one for windows and then a smaller one for the game-specific data, I might try that later. For now I'm just glad to have it working in "practice" mode so I can go to the pizza level :)

FINALLY succeeded in getting an Ethernet-adapter emulated in my PDP-11/70 emulator. With NAT (port-)forwarding it runs a tiny http-server connected to the internet. Reachable via http://188.212.113.203:8080/
Note that it is not very stable yet so it may become unreachable suddenly. No https or ip6 as the whole http-server should fit in less than 56 kB of RAM.

Rich Whitehouse updates BigPEmu (Atari Jaguar) and BigInstinct (Killer Instinct Arcade) with BigInstinct getting its first public release!

See post body for BigInstinct download link. Here’s what’s new in both:

BigPEmu v1.22:

https://richwhitehouse.com/jaguar/index.php?content=download

• Added a new “cheat_codes” script module. When this script module is active, the user will be prompted to toggle any available cheat codes (provided by cheat_codes.json) any time a software image is loaded. Cheat codes are provided for every cartridge and CD title in the Jaguar’s retail library. Many of these cheat codes were adapted from jguff’s BigPEmu scripting work, you can find the relevant scripts (and more) here: https://github.com/jguffer/BigPEmu_Scripts

• Implemented the Blitter GPU interrupt. (mainly for developers; this functionality isn’t used in any retail software)

• Lots of new scripting API functionality, as well as some minor fixes/additions for existing scripts.

• Reworked a bunch of BigMaster stuff under the hood. You may need to re-enter some of your BigMaster credentials when updating from a previous version of the application.

• Fixed various potential bugs related to using per-game configs in network mode.

BigInstinct v1.0:

https://richwhitehouse.com/ki/index.php?content=download

• First public release. The emulator is now free for public use, but the script modules (which enable features like stereo sound, stereoscopic 3D rendering, training mode, and gameplay adjustments) are only available to Patreon supporters.

• Added a new ki_gameplay script. This new script features various gameplay adjustment options, including “more forgiving” special move inputs and programmable special triggers. Programmable special triggers enable users to assign any move to an extra button modifier, even moves which are normally inaccessible. This means you can trigger normal special moves, chain-only moves, ultra chains, humiliations, etc. on demand. This feature makes it very easy to break the game in hilarious ways.

• Added additional move state tracking to the training script.

• Added a new distance representation mode to the training script.

• Reworked a bunch of BigMaster stuff under the hood. You may need to re-enter some of your BigMaster credentials when updating from a previous version of the application.

All Patreon-exclusive content is now managed through the BigMaster service, you can register and link your accounts here: https://www.richwhitehouse.com/bigmaster/

All of the BigInstinct script/enhancement features are still Patreon-only, and BigMaster functions as a delivery mechanism for that content directly through the app now. Check the BI download page for details/instructions.

BigPEmu v1.22 for iOS is currently in review.

Using the #Zesarux emulator in #JupiterACE #emulation mode and defining some high-level words to handle strings ...

I can see why this machine, in hindsight, has probably been one of the best ways to learn #Forth in its day as it comes with just enough words in its dictionary to get you going. It's a very compact vocabulary:

No ACCEPT, no MOVE and no 2DUP or even HEX - you need them, you write them yourself.

But this is what sharpens your skills and gives you a very good understanding of the bottom-up method.

It appears as though an LLM has been unleashed upon some of the Libretro repositories.

I first noticed this on libretro/tyrquake yesterday, but RetroArch itself also had a flurry of commits. Perhaps most have been simmering elsewhere, but at least a subset looks automated.

Regardless of anyone's opinion on AI coding, this number of changes and rate of commits affect trust. I can't see how these could have been properly reviewed by a human.
