So i'm using the newest BE and citra is using more than one core, i know its citra using all these cores since when i close citra, the graphs go all the way down to 0% usage, the cpu % fluctuates a lot making the fps fluctuate and become unstable, if i force citra to use only one core and one thread, by setting the affinity on task manager to one core, the fps is more stable, other cores are still slightly used though, does this happen to anyone else? Can this be fixed because if it is fixed than performance will be more stable instead of changing constantly.

Right.. this happens to all programs and that's why the option to pin it to a CPU exists in the first place.
I still don't understand why people buy expensive hardware if they don't know about these kind of things / are unable to administrate them properly..

7 F* cores :) ^ 4ghz

0 to 7 means 8 *threads*, the screenshot even says it's 4 cores.

opengl draw framebuffer check failed, status 8cdb
It has sound and emulation is running but blackscreen.

How do i fix it?
The best thing you can do is open an issue on the official forum on their site with following info:

- OS
- PC specs
- What version of Citra (is at the top of the screen 'master-XXXXXXX')
- What error you get in the console
- What game
- (optional) screenshots

Citra tests on bleeding edge .81: (Specs: CPU i7, GPU AMD Raedon 4GB.)

Yoshi's New Island: as @ileikoranges said. 60fps and Perfect.

Paper Mario Sticker Star: It works!!! (It was crashing in the Chinese builds.)

Super Mario 3D Land: It works until title screen (luckily that I got rid of that pesky russian game interface) but unlike the Chinese build, It has not a "PRESS A TO START" command. So, it won't go further until the title screen rolls and the 3D stereoscopic test (= Escheric Mario screen) comes in. When you 'start' it, the game crashes.

New Super Mario Bros. 2: It won't boot up. (???? Weird. It works in Chinese build, though has glitches.)

You need to dump the system files from your 3DS using this guide.

I have the files, and I tested it again, but coyping the 'user' folder to citra's folder had no effect, maybe beacuse the compiled program, now is just a Citra"Setup" file.
Did you try copying the user folder inside the folder of the newer version (right now it's: "app-0.1.81")?

Yes, I say I just did this, but I say again, it's a single "CitraSetup.exe" file, with a different icon in comp. to earlier versions. Also, every time you open Citra, it creates a shortcut in desktop.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
