ARMSX3 update now supports playing games in the CHD format, which can reduce PS3 game file sizes, improve frame generation, and reduce stutters in certain games.
- Nintendo’s 2024 legal action against Tropic Haze, the team behind the Yuzu Switch emulator, ended with a $**.4 million settlement** and the shutdown of Yuzu.
- Lime3DS rose out of the shutdown of Yuzu and Citra as a community-maintained Citra fork, but development stopped in April 2025, leading to the creation of Azahar.
- Azahar is the successor project to Lime3DS, but the Android package name was not updated, causing confusion.
- Azahar is the default recommendation for 3DS emulation, consolidating the scattered forks that emerged after the shutdown of Yuzu and Citra.
- Azahar requires specific system files from a real Nintendo 3DS console, and users must dump their own game files legally.
The Darkness has been officially released on PC, marking its first availability on this platform since its original launch in 2007 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The port was developed by portingpete, who adapted the Xbox 360 version for the Windows 64-bit operating system without using emulation. The game features original gameplay mechanics, support for gamepad and mouse controls, comprehensive video settings, and fully functional sound and save systems. Portingpete has also made the source code of the project available on GitHub, but players must provide their own Xbox 360 game files to play.
Android XR Bridge is an experimental project that allows Meta Quest exclusives to be played on PC VR in 4K per eye at high frame rates. The software operates as an emulator to remove hardware restrictions, requiring users to own legal game files to play. The Early Access launch of AXRB has been delayed due to issues with the installer and game support.
- Pokémon Infinite Fusion is a standalone game built in RPG Maker XP, using the RGSS scripting layer.
- The game is not a ROM, cartridge dump, or console to emulate, but rather a folder of Ruby scripts, tileset graphics, and audio files.
- The mainline build of the game reached version 6.7.2 on October 2, 2025, and was updated to version 6.8.2 by August 2026.
- The game combines two Pokémon into a single custom sprite and blended stat line, generating the combined artwork procedurally.
- The Android-specific performance complaints come from the CPU doing image layering work in real time when compositing fusion sprites on lower-end devices.
ARC Raiders players may face issues launching the game due to the Embark Game Boot halting unexpectedly because of a fatal error. Two main error messages can occur: "Detected Software," indicating that the anti-cheat system has identified a disallowed process, and "Failed to install EasyAntiCheat," which suggests that the EAC service or driver could not be initialized.
The first error can be triggered by an AutoHotkey-based utility, while the second may arise from a locked EAC file, another anti-cheat process, or an incomplete installation of the service.
If players reach the menu but experience crashes, they should consult the ARC Raiders crashing and freezing guide for troubleshooting steps related to the Embark Game Boot or Easy Anti-Cheat.
Specific error messages and their solutions include:
- "Detected Software or Cheat Software Detected": Close the named process.
- "Failed to install EasyAntiCheat or EAC is not installed": Run EAC uninstall and install scripts.
- "Error 30005 or CreateFile failed with 32": Restart Windows to unlock the EAC file.
- "Maximum simultaneous game instances reached": Close other games and anti-cheat processes.
- "An ARAV code names AutoHotkey, an auto-clicker, Cheat Engine, a VM, or another tool": Stop the named program.
- "An ARAV code ending in 005, 006, or 007": Verify the game installation in Steam.
To resolve issues:
1. Check and close the program named by Embark Game Boot.
2. Repair Easy Anti-Cheat from the ARC Raiders Installer Folder.
3. Verify the ARC Raiders installation in Steam.
4. Reinstall ARC Raiders if previous steps fail, and provide detailed error information to Embark Support if issues persist.
Players should ensure that any flagged processes are closed before attempting to launch the game or reinstall it.
Interest in classic big box PC games from the 1990s has surged, particularly after Sony announced it would stop producing physical PlayStation games. GOG is offering printable big boxes inspired by scans of authentic commercial packages, allowing enthusiasts to showcase collections on shelves. Revenue from CD sales increased by 58% in 2026 compared to the previous year, indicating a resurgence in physical media. GOG's DRM-free model enables users to burn game files onto CDs or DVDs, fostering a sense of ownership in a digital landscape.
The RPCS3 emulator has added physical Blu-ray support for PlayStation 3 games, enabling users to play many PS3 titles directly from the disc on their PCs. Players need a compatible Blu-ray disc drive, and the emulator supports over 75% of the PS3 library, including titles like Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time and inFAMOUS 2. This development occurs as Sony plans to phase out physical media by January 2028 and will disable the PS3’s online storefront next summer. The introduction of Blu-ray support by RPCS3 reflects growing frustration among fans regarding access to PS3 games on newer platforms, particularly the PS5, which lacks native support for PS3 titles outside of PS Plus Premium cloud streaming.
Hironobu Sakaguchi founded Mistwalker after leaving Square Enix in the early 2000s. Blue Dragon, a title from Mistwalker, is now available on PC due to a fan-made port created by programmer Tom, who used his toolset ReXGlue to recompile the game. This port integrates original game files into a single executable, enhances graphical fidelity, and resolves compatibility issues. Tom's work allows the game to run at 1080p resolution and 60 fps on systems with as little as one gigabyte of VRAM. The port was released on GitHub to coincide with the 19th anniversary of Blue Dragon's U.S. release, and future updates and mods are planned, including the introduction of characters from the Nintendo DS sequel.
On August 18, an entity named "Cyberleek" shared what is believed to be authentic gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 6, featuring the protagonist Jason. The footage showcased typical GTA activities and was removed from social media due to copyright claims from Take-Two and Rockstar. Cyberleek's leaks were not from testers but indicated access to a segment of GTA 6. They expressed consumer rights grievances and made three demands: no more digital preorders, no selling DLC already included in base game files, and mandatory offline fallback states for single-player games. Cyberleek is also promoting a cryptocurrency token, $Cyberleek, with a market cap of .1 million, allowing token holders to vote on gameplay clips to release. The timing of the leaks suggests a possible European origin, and investigations link Cyberleek to past posts on a German cybersecurity forum. There are indications that Cyberleek is not affiliated with Rockstar Games, and if identified, they could face significant consequences. Rockstar's official gameplay reveal for GTA 6 is scheduled for August 27.
