Citra is going to be much like PCSX2/Dolphin where its the IPC that counts more than Raw Speed, (IPC=Instructions per ClockCycle) and for AMD Users you will ALWAYS be behind the Curve on that.

I think you are not a pc gaming player as well as an emulator fans.Are you sure AMD processor worse than intel core processor in running citra/games on pc ? As what we know,AMD is more suitable for gaming as compared to intel CPU,people choose intel just bcoz not only they want to play video game but they want to use in office as well,but those who buy gaming pc (like cyber cafe owner) ,i am sure they will build a PC with AMD CPU and graphic card .Then,the so called "gaming pc" for intel usually equiped with 16gb ram memory and i7 intel core CPU ,of course pc with this spec is better than AMD CPU pc right since the AMD do not use 16gb ram and the best AMD CPU,so,my question,are you sure the best AMD processor is worse than the best Intel core processor for gaming purpose?citra emulator is part of gaming right?And most important,as shown in video before,most of the 3ds games running on latest chinese citra build not always reach 60 fps in every part on the game and the FPS is not stable on intel core's good spec pc like i7 CPU.On the other hand,AMD CPU although have low FPS compared to the i7 intel core ,but citra have more stable FPS whenever running on AMD processor pc,by the time the official citra stable version 1 release,i don't think the intel core can run the citra 3ds game as smooth as AMD CPU ,unless you spend thousand dollar to upgrade you intel pc.

i'm done trying to debate the CPU issue (Intel's better for EMulation, AMD is great when building on a budget, Yes im a gamer use im using a rig based around an AMD A10-7850k APU average framerates on games on an "Higher end i5/low end i7"is about what i get, but when it comes to # cruning etc thats required of an Emulator like PCSX2/Dolphin/even these Citra builds will be lower. the people on the respective emulator Forums are going to tell you the same thing.

so Yes thers not that big a downside to go w/ AMD for general Gaming. But Emu's or even video editing/rendering? your going to suffer lower framerates/longer rendering times.

I am already looking into the chinese build as i procured a dl myself.
this will be interesting to see what exactly was implemented for the frame rate increase.
the development of this is promising and the devs deserve major props.
but now i want to rip this apart because im curious

If we talk about emulator,i am sure the developer will try to find a solution to make sure every processor can run the emulator well,right?i think there is no point to debate on CPU issues,since the trouble will fix eventually by the time citra accomplish....

I'm also pretty sure that AMD is bad but everyone is hoping that AMD will end the battery life > performance rut that intel has dragged itself into.
Back in the desmume and no$ days I read a few posts where people claimed that emulators couldn't even benefit from quad cores and that dual cores were better than quads but I don't know how reliable that is.

Then,in your opinion,using citra on intel core processor is a good choice?For now or for future?

Speed is from GCC. The interesting bits are the all the branches that are merged in. I tried to recreate it, but Pokemans still crashes.

If a pokemon hack rom(updated to latest version) which had CRO Patches ,it means the game is playable on citra ? since i find out that some of the romhack like Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire's rom had cro patches as well and that is why it is playable on citra with minimum bug/error....so,is it the same goes to X & Y hack rom ?Sorry maybe it is not a good question anyway.....Then, why reinand or luma 3ds is needed to run CRO patches rom?

Yes. Only tried X/Y.

You rebuild the citra using resource from github official citra?I think cro branch had been rewrite recently but not yet finished ,that is why your build cannot fix the error in X/Y:)

By the way,if you really want to try X/Y,why don't you try X/Y with pokemon citra build from the website which put ads /links(sorry it is illegal to mention that website but i think you know that site right) ,bcoz last time they provide a build different from any other unofficial build (including chinese build),and i had check the sizes of that pokemon citra build emulator ,it is different from the sizes of latest chinese build on 18/6,so,i think maybe pokemon citra build had been updated from the chinese build on 18/6 although the update maybe not made by chinese build host gdmk anyway :wink:

My two thoughts about build 18.06 and omega ruby ver. 1325 : 1st when you feel that you lost much of disk space that means that citra crash reports are too much (1 is 1.5 gb) you can delete them at local drive (c or something else)/ users/ username/ local/ crash repts and second when you need to get to fortree city i recommend a lot of repels because wild encounters in tall grass are crashing a lot

Just a question to the mods: Why are these builds not allowed to be shared at all? It's like if I took dolphin's source code and changed some stuff and released it, I wouldn't be allowed
to put it here. It just makes no sense.

So with these builds I find New Leaf doesn't delete buildings over time. Saves don't write the NAND value though, but that's probably just an issue with Citra itself.

so i tried pokemon neo y on citra chinese build 18-6 and sofar it's not going well for me
1 no audio other than the sfx (no music)
2 the game is kinda slow for me (8gb ram gt-635m 2gb core i7 2.40ghz)
3 it gives you black screen after prof sycamore says lets go to the pokemon world
4 you can't advance the dialoge after your mom gives you the town map (you can see the overworld and theverything still works but you can't do nothing)(stuck at obtained the town map)

Had you try with Citra Pokemon Build?i think you may find it with google......anyway,not sure you will encounter same error as chinese build or not,i think that unofficial pokemon build is different with chinese build in some way maybe.......Now, official citra team got contributor try to fix some error on it,i think cro branch in citra must be fully re-written + update since CRO is basically the "DLL files" in Citra ,like the DLL files for PC ,if we miss some dlls,the game will crash...
