Homebrew Official Citra - New 3DS Emulator

[FuryTomic]

Watching emulators progress like this is seriously one of my favorite things to do. There's something very satisfying about it and I'm not sure what it is.

Im just surprised as to why the orignal Xbox has no emulator.I hope someone finds a way to emulate it on pcs

why citra crashes after loading 3ds file?

most likely, the rom aint decrypted.

 

[emmauss]

do you have the latest jit shader build compiled?

no. sorry.but it should be fairly easy to build, although it takes some time to setup.

Citra 3DS Emulator
December 23, 2014 Update
​

Citra is an open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator written in modern C++. It is written with portability in mind, with builds actively maintained for Windows, Linux and OS X. Citra only emulates a subset of 3DS hardware, and therefore is generally only useful for running/debugging homebrew applications. At this time, Citra is even able to boot several commercial games! None of these run to a playable state, but we are working every day to advance the project forward.

• Github: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra
• Website: http://citra-emu.org/
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/citra.emu

We really appreciate the continued support from everyone in the community. We encourage anyone interested to please get involved in our project!

Getting Involved
​

Citra has an active community of developers and we welcome any form of contribution. It is always good to get in touch with the developer community first, though. The best way to do this is via our IRC channel, #citra on Freenode. We also encourage you to check out the Contributor's Guide, Roadmap and Developer Information pages.

Supporting Citra
​

A number of people have asked whether they could support the project via donations. We've been a bit hesitant with setting up something like this, but ultimately realized that it would indeed make a lot of things easier. So if you're interested in helping us out, you can donate via PayPal - any donation received will go towards things like:

• 3DS consoles - This is the most expensive, but also most helpful point. Developers can use access to actual consoles to figure out how the hardware works. Some developers have bought consoles out of their own pocket solely for reverse-engineering and never played any games with them. We would like this to be the exception, and instead give skilled developers something to work with without requiring them to pay for working on an open-source project.
• Additional 3DS equipment - Games, flashcards, etc. All that kind of stuff which is required for testing and/or getting homebrew code execution.
• Server costs - Web hosting, domain name, build/IRC bots, etc.

We also more than gladly accept used 3DS consoles, preferrably ones with firmware 4.5 or lower! If you would like to give yours away, don't hesitate to join our IRC channel and talk to [USER]neobrain[/USER] or [USER]bunnei[/USER].

Spoiler: Origial post from Apr 24, 2014

Hey guys…
I'd like to share a project that I've been working on with a few others for the past few months – the firstpublic project to attempt 3DS emulation. "Citra" (https://github.com/citra-emu/citrahttps://github.com/bunnei/citra) is an experimental Nintendo 3DS emulator/debugger written in C++ (and licensed under GPLv2).

At this time, it is in the very initial stages of development, and is only capable of running homebrew. It currently supports:

• ARM9/ARM11 interpreter for the 3DS "appcore" – the processor core dedicated to running user applications
• (Some) OS HLE to support userland interaction with the various 3DS OS services
• Loading of ELF and launcher.dat files
• Framebuffer rendering
• Debugger with ARM11 disassembler, register view, callstack and symbol loading (written in Qt)
• Supported on both Linux and Windows (MS Visual Studio 2013 Express)

I want to emphasize that for the long-term, this project will only (potentially) be useful to developers – there are manynon-existent components that are absolutely essential to even loading a commercial game (and furthermore there is no gamepad or hardware 3D support, among many many other things).​

Anyone interested in the project please checkout #citra on Freenode – there is no website/forums.

EDIT: The official project repository is now https://github.com/citra-emu/citra

Ia december 23 the latest release? If I built the most recent from github, would it be better?

Please buy a copy of Citra Pro for game compatibility alerts.

Such a thing exists?

 

[Etheboss]

^^^^^ Sarcasm ^^^^^^

Anyways, just keep an eye on compatibility lists. It's going to be some time before any decent games are in a playable state.

Could i have a link for these lists?

That is now my new favorite gif.

(I'm just eager to start working on Decode, which Citra, alas still isn't running)

Yeah, translations would be a lot better if we had good debugging capabilities.

Config block 0xA0001 with flags 2 and size 2 was not found -> Can anyone explain what's the cause of this error?

Oh to me making the game runnable and good ol' memory editor would go a long way already. All I need to make at least small adjustments
At least we can see that there's constant progress, so we know I'll be there one day.

if it is for a game you are running on citra, please post the report on their github issue tracker.

 

[neobrain]

if it is for a game you are running on citra, please post the report on their github issue tracker.

Please don't. We don't want any issue tracker spam by people who prematurely try to run specific games and who most likely have no idea how to provide helpful information anyway.

I knew this was coming Don't worry, I was rather just technically interested, I won't spam the tracker. From what I gather it's a function that is yet unsupported that's causing that exception, no point in reporting it.
The reason I also don't reported this is because you guys are well aware of it already.

 

[neobrain]

Exactly. Thanks for the understanding

So with that thread that was recently posted, it seems MK7 is getting closer and closer to running. Kinda exciting, I wouldn't mind dumping my copy as to inject custom tracks someday soon and be able to play test it on my PC before encrypting a final copy to play on my 3DS.
