CEMU 1.15.3 available for download to Patreon backers, full release notes revealed
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/cemu-1-15-3-available-for-download-to-patreon-backers-full-release-notes-revealed/
The team behind the best Nintendo Wii U emulator, CEMU, has released a brand new version of it. CEMU 1.15.3 is currently available for download to all Patreon backers and will be made available to the public on March 7th.
This new version of CEMU comes with a reworked shader cache loading screen to scale better on higher resolutions, optimizes texture loader and multi-threads JIT recompilation of functions if multi-core recompiler is enabled (which slightly reduces micro-stutter caused by recompilation).
In addition, CEMU 1.15.3 packs various optimizations in various GX2 API functions, fixes random crash due to out-of-bounds access in texture code, fixes a crash that could occur when GPU buffer cache accuracy was set to high and increases time before restorable textures are dropped from texture cache.

You can now play Metal Gear Survive in first-person perspective thanks to this mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/you-can-now-play-metal-gear-survive-in-first-person-perspective-thanks-to-this-mod/
I’m pretty sure that there aren’t a lot of players that play Metal Gear Survive these days. Konami’s latest Metal Gear game disappointed pretty much all of its fans and is easily one of the worst Metal Gear games to date. Still, modder ‘iBobaFett’ released a new mod for it that allows players to experience this survival game in first-person mode.
This mod adds a first person view that works in both single-player and co-op, though it requires a controller in order to be enabled or disabled. Once you turn it on (or off), though, you can keep playing the game with your mouse and keyboard.
>> You can get it from Nexus Mods.

Skyrim Script Extender devs accuse Skyrim Together modders of stealing code
https://www.pcgamer.com/skyrim-script-extender-devs-accuse-skyrim-together-modders-of-stealing-code/
The Skyrim Together mod, which allows up to eight players to play Skyrim in co-op mode, has been in the works for years, and it recently inched a bit closer to the finish line with a playable closed beta. This week, however, drama erupted as the developers of Skyrim Script Extender accused the makers of Skyrim Together of using SKSE code without permission or attribution.
"Skyrim Together is stealing [Skyrim Script Extender] code, uncredited, without permission, with an explicit term in the license restricting one of the authors from having anything to do with the code," a SKSE developer posted on Reddit. "The proof is pretty clear when you look at the loader and dll in a disassembler. They're using a hacked-up version of 1.7.3 classic presumably with some preprocessor macros to switch structure types around as needed between the x64 and x86 versions."
The SKSE developer also points to a Reddit message from a Skyrim Together dev a year ago, which states: "We aren't using SKSE at all but the mod will be able to be loaded by SKSE's loader."
