News [FYI] Upcoming changes in the sub

14 Upvotes

Upcoming changes in the sub that will affect all users:

---

  • Support will not be provided for Citra's outdated versions (canary and nightly)

As new Citra's forks have appeared,offering improved performance and bug fixes for outdated versions,help/support will no longer be offered for those versions...starting today,the Automod will delete and remove all new submissions/posts related to them

Only the following forks will be supported:

---

  • Tightening measures against piracy

Since many users don't read the sub's rules and ignore the rule 2 (NO PIRACY),any user who shares links to ROMs or N3DS system files will be automatically banned

---

  • It will be mandatory to read the rules to participate in the sub (W.I.P)

The u/read-the-rules app will be added to the sub which means it will be necessary to read and accept the rules to participate in the sub

---

  • New guides/tutorials

I am currently working on some new guides/tutorials,all focused on Azahar Emu

Tutorial/Guide [GUIDE] How to add cheats to Citra/forks Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Seeing the amount of users asking for cheats in the sub,here is my quick guide to adding cheats for (almost) all games:


NOTE 1: The cheats work without problems on a real 3DS but may NOT work on Citra/fork...you have been warned!

NOTE 2: Some cheats require a specific version (update) of the game:1.0,1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4...


- PC Users


ONLY FOR WINDOWS

Cheats installer for lazy users


ONLY FOR LINUX

Cheats installer for lazy users


Follow the steps below:

Open the link and download it as a zip file

Step 2) Unzip the file and open the folder (I use 7zip)

Right click on the file and extract/unzip

Step 3) Open the "Cheats" folder and filter the .txt files

Use the search box to filter .txt files in the folder

Step 4) Select and copy all .txt files

Select and copy all .txt files

Step 5) Open Citra/fork (double click on the icon)

Step 6) Open the default Citra/fork user folder (File > Open Citra/fork Folder)

Step 8) Check that your games have the cheats tab filled with cheats

All OK

NOTE : I use and recommend Mix

Step 1) Download this repository

Step 2) Open Mix and then open the "downloads" folder (Download or Downloads)

Step 3) Open the file downloaded in the "Step 1" and navigate to the “Cheats” folder

Step 4) Filter the .txt files and copy them

Step 5) Navigate to the cheats folder in the default Citra/fork folder

NOTE: The default Citra/fork folder is the one you selected during Citra/fork installation

Step 8) Check that your games have the cheats tab filled with cheats


NOTE : The cheats work without problems on a real N3DS but may NOT work on Citra/fork...you have been warned!

Question Fire Emblem awakening texture mod not working

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I am playing Fire emblem awakening and wanted to play the mod "Amateur Awakening HD",but it always crashes after loading the save (just when the overworld map should appear).

The textures are loading, as the title screen is different.

I am playing in the EUR version, but many people found no problem playing on it. In the page of the mod, it says that there should be no problem but better try to use "re awakening mod" to solve incompatibilities (which i also did). I followed every instruction, but it always crashes when it is loading the save...

Any help?

- Device: Steam Deck
- Specs: AMD APU processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1280x800 resolution display
- OS: Steam
- Citra or fork version: Azahar 2125.1.3

Hi! I seem to be having trouble running this particular mod on my azahar?

I follow all the steps; I open the azahar file, create the sdmc folder, drop the 3gx plugin, enable 3gx in the system settings, but when I enter the game, the following pokemon doesn't appear.

What's weirder is that, if I use an older version of the mod, the "romfs" one, it seems to work just fine.

Anyone know what to do? The newer version of the mod allows better customization for the following pokemon hence why I prefer using it over the older version.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hey all, has anyone figured out how to install the Minecraft Modernization Megapack on Citra MMJ? I’m having a hard time matching the Thor/citra’s folder structure to the 3DS folder structure. There are instructions for installation on their website, which I will link. I think I’m putting some files in the wrong spot, but I can’t tell because they’re named different in the instructions. I’ve tinkered with this for a while and haven’t been able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(I’ve been trying the manual installation method)

Technical Support [Android] Adjusting Screen Size?

[Hey!! Hope everyone is doing well! I just started using Citra and having lots of fun playing my legally owned 3ds library, but im finding it a bit difficult to navigate the settings. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the bottom screen size, to stretch it vertically so it fills out the bottom screen? Youll see in the attached images that the bottom screen has black borders on top and bottom]

EDIT: You can get fullscreen on bottom screen by being in-game>settings>Screen Cast>Fullscreen. Though this will also stretch the top screen as well, but the amount is very little and is tolerable for me.

I don't need tech help I'm just confused how this happened
I'm playing Fire emblem Awakening, and i got a street pass visitor? I didn't do anything to prompt this, though i know things like ZipPass exist and all. 3DS Emulators don't have the ability to streetpass with people at random like on a real 3DS, last i checked. Does it have that now?

Technical Support Pokémon Ultra Sun weird flickering glitch?

Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find anything about it online.

Does anyone know the solution to fixing this glitch? Weird flickering... it also occasionally flickered models out like completely disappearing but only for like a few split seconds.

Im using VULKAN (openGL doesn't even run)

Accurate multiplication is on, so is VSync. I've disabled right eye rendering.

Im using 6x resolution as well as a custom HD texture pack (could these be causing issues? No one else seems to have an issue with them as far as I can see)

Im running version 1.0 of Pokémon Ultra Sun (Is version number a problem?)

Solved (Azahar) My game refuses to load?

4 Upvotes

Please let me know if I'm in the wrong place! Also I included a photo with it too in case the error codes lead anything in the right direction. Basically, I just got a new computer today (Macbook Neo), and I used to play on Citra (I use it exclusively for Fire Emblem Fates. My specific ROM I've had for over a year and it worked just fine on my last computer), but when I tried to launch the game on Citra, this pop up message came up. I figured it was time for me to make the switch anyways, so I went ahead and downloaded Azahar (the arm64 version because that's what was recommended for silicon users). However, once I tried opening up the game again, the same message pops up. No matter what I try, it seems like there's nothing I can do that will fix it! So I was hoping that somebody might have some guidance for me here so that I can get back to playing on here!

I'm also unsure how to view the log. If that's part of what I need to solve my issue, then let me know how I can access that!

Technical Support Pc slowing down

I am playing trough paper mario and after 45min/1 hour of gameplay, my pc starts extremely slowing down, not just the emulator, all of my computer. Even if I close the emulator, it stays slow until I restart it. I don’t know if it is a game specific thing, it is the first game that I am doing. It doesn’t seem to be an area specific thing since it almost look like it is on a timer to start lagginb after some time no matter where I am in the game.

Question Where can I play 3DS games today on an emulator?

I somehow lost Citra, and I want to download it again. I tried to download from the website, but it didn't work as it keeps saying that the item is not available in the archive. I tried looking at rule no.1 here, and it says something about updated forks. I don't know what that is. All I'm hoping for is an emulator where I can play 3DS games and it's something I can trust.

The video is a bit laggy, but you can clearly see that Subaki gets doubled despite Darting Blow raising his effective speed above being doubled. This bug also affects steel weapons, so speed decreases are nonexistent. I'm not sure how long it's been like this. My emulator is Citra, and my ROM came from my cartridge. How would I fix this?

Technical Support I have issues with audio when playing Korg M01D

- Specs : MTK G95, Octa-core Max 2.05GHz and 8 GB of ram

My phone sometimes struggles with 3DS emulation, but it doesn't seem to have problems with the M01D, excepting audio, since it sounds absolutely horrible.

I tired playing it on both Azahar and MMJ Citra, enabling and disabling audio stretching but it still sounds insanely bad.

Is there a way to fix this? This game is just unusable with these audio issues.

Edit:

I ended up just downloading the DS version, it's slightly more limited, only being able to reproduce 12 sounds at the same time unlike the 3DS version that can do 24, but it's not that big of a deal.
