Homebrew Citra - Unofficial \ Chinese builds discussion

[Sky*dragon]

that's good to hear imo citra has a bright future in 3ds emulation all we need is more good contributors and patience

 

[DestinyFeather]

Anyway I was reading about running xy (via google translate) apparently you still get stuck on the mirror and one thing after that as well as running half the normal fps so it's unplayable for now.

 

[SKazuki]

can someone explain to me why pokemon oras runs better than xy ?

If you have 3ds ,you will understand ,i think mostly related to version of firmware,the concept is ORAS use newer version of 3ds since it is new pokemon game while x/y is old pokemon game which using the outdated version of 3ds consoles,citra dev most probably refer/use/focus on the latest firmware to create the emu ,it come with proof,remember last time at earlier stage when oras is running well on citra ,only Rutile ruby/Star Sapphire is so called in a "playable" mode,but,if you have a look at star sapphire/Rutile ruby's boxart(for those who own 3ds & buy that hackrom ),that hackrom should be for new version of 3ds (in this case,i not sure old 3ds can use that rom or not but anyway they can update their 3ds consoles) ,so,the "version" of citra emulator should be equal to new version of 3ds,but i just don't understand why the new version of 3ds consoles can run x/y with no problem ,but the same not happen to citra 3ds emulator

And you know right,the cro had not been update since early of this year by official citra team,until now they start again for updating cro++ tree,in between this early half year there are so called "unofficial" dev/contributor work on cro and it actually help a lot,at least 2 out of 4 3ds pokemon titles are playable(with error/bug),so,only official team can eventually fix the trouble since official discourage citra user for trying the unofficial build,anyway,the video by JohnGodgame in facebook is using unofficial build by citra official team,i think by next time they upload X/Y video in facebook again it should be indicate the game is playable ,but it should not been happen soon from what we can guess.

Btw,you use citra pokemon build tested X/Y already right?same blackscreen error happened?

NEW CHINESE GCC BUILD was released !!!!This time you need to use libgcc_s_seh_64-1.dll in order to make this new build work , @SKazuki @DestinyFeather ,test it out with X & Y,maybe it had surprises!!

It hasn't really changed much in terms of FPS in high CPU usage environments I think. Maybe it's just the SSE4.1 GUI that they added. Tall grass still seems to trigger a crash.

You test ORAS or X/Y?

 

[DestinyFeather]

ORAS - AS only. Mostly just the known bugs like in normal AS you can't fly to Petalburg/Rustboro or Eon Flute there without black screening (you can in Star Sapphire) and also the tall grass crash.

@DestinyFeather @SKazuki when you try X/Y in 29/6 chinese build:

Level up , received town map , after collect starter what happened?If it was just a blackscreen without freeze/crash,then you look at command to wait the crowd of red line word gone and then wait the yellow line return in command(it should take some minutes), this work in ORAS for avoid random crash but not sure in X/Y ,if possible, please use the latest update version of X/Y rom so that it is compatible with citra emulator,i think the outdated X/Y rom is no longer work on citra

Still have black screen after petalburg forest on sapphire alpha with other language over korea on 29/06 chinese build

 

[Deleted User]

for me this new release make many game nearly full speed , kirby , zelda OOT , zelda MM work really good now hope Official release will make this progress too

 

[Marya]

is it possible to change controls in chinese build?

 

[masaki88]

for me this new release make many game nearly full speed , kirby , zelda OOT , zelda MM work really good now hope Official release will make this progress too

For me its same speed as in build 13 june.

 

[masaki88]

although, in some games fps increase.

 

[Ahruk]

I have found for Speed increase on all builds that Cheat engine 6.5.1 can be used to speed up Citra and other emulators. This is not my video nor is it a Citra demo but it is a good example how to use cheat engine to speed up emulaors.

http://www.cheatengine.org/.
Also for those interested in using controller in Citra I use Touchmote for windows in order to use my classic Wii-mote to play citra games and it works perfectly and is super simple to set up.

[raulpica]

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.

As long as you release the modified source along with your new binary, feel free to go crazy with it. The license Citra uses imposes you to do so, otherwise you're violating the license and putting yourself in legal trouble.
The Chinese Team is withholding the sources and until they do so, no linking allowed.

So, as you can see, yes it does make sense!

Here is a link to a video i just whipped together as proof of this working to speed up Citra and Pokemon oras. Sorry in advance for the poor video quality it ran fine while recording but the playback sucks but it still shows what i do to get better speed from Citra and my slow PC.

PC Specs are intel i-5-3330 @ 3.00 Ghz 8 GB RAM and AMD 8750 GPU.
Any suggestions of better screen recording software would be appreciated.

You can just use Star Sapphure to hop in and oyt of Rustboro/Petalburg too.

I think this is more of a placebo then anything else.
Like when i do this my FPS almost double but the game still feels like its playing at the same speed.
EDIT:
OK i can now confirm this does nothing other then make the FPS give a false reading.
