Homebrew CitrAGB - 3DS GBA Emulator (WIP)

[shinyquagsire23]

Pokemon Ruby doesn't load at all. Sad face

Make sure you have game_config.txt in the root of the SD card. I think I had a link to that in the main post, let me double check though.

Make sure you have game_config.txt in the root of the SD card. I think I had a link to that in the main post, let me double check though.

I followed the tutorial exactly as described.

Here's my layout:

SD:/3ds/CitrAGB/CitrAGB.3dsx
SD:/game_config.txt (the one provided in the OP)
SD:/gba_bios.bin (Tried both the open source one and a proper one)

Running 9.2.0-20E, if that helps. Maybe it could be my SD card? I doubt it is. It just freezes on a white screen and does nothing - I can exit with "X" though.

My SD card max read/write speed is about 88MB/s (Yeah - fast or what? Using the "professional" SD cards that are used in pro camera gear - bit over kill for the 3DS, as it can't even take advantage of such speeds -_-)

Hm, that happens on Ruby if the save file type is incorrect. Is this a New 3DS? I've noticed that it seems to be that on mine it won't read game_config.txt for some reason, but it will on my old 3DS.

I've had a few blackscreen lockups when starting CitrAGB, but trying enough times gets it working. Guessing it's libkhax related, and I'm planning to try the advice from one of the cfw threads (ntr I think) about waiting a few seconds before starting Cubic Ninja, because I'm probably normally hammering the A button like an impatient twat.


e: I'm using a new3ds, if it helps with testing, what's an easy way to tell if the game_config.txt is being loaded?

Nope, I'm using an O3DS. I'll see if I can delete the save and reload it. Hang on...

Edit: Deleted the save. Still doesn't load.... Tried FireRed and not even that works...

For Fire Red, it shouldn't complain about the 1M circuit board being missing.

Strange. I tried loading the games with an older version of CitrAGB and they worked. The latest version just doesn't work for me.... I'll rename FireRed and see if it will still boot on the latest version...

 

[WhoAmI?]

Nope. Still doesn't work. (Sorry for posting straight after my previous one. Had to make sure you got a notification )

Edit:

This is the sha1sum of my files (might help with debugging or whatever):

Tested, and it does complain about that. game_config.txt is definitely in the root of the microsd.

Will wait till the .3ds or .cia comes out. Cant seem to use NinjHax anyway. Even on my O3DS. Dont want to chance it on my N3DS since it is a pain to get the WiFi On and Off. Unless there is a App on Google Play like the 3DS X-Loader that loads it, a lot of the Homebrew that is strictly .3dsx cant be used by a lot of ppl. Always getting lockups, and Update nags

Well, it does here, using a 9.2 E n3DS with no emunand.

Lost Vikings works perfectly Which is nice as blargsnes won't run it yet.

Also fwiw I haven't yet had any more blackscreen freezes when starting CitrAGB, since I started waiting a few seconds before running Cubic Ninja. Try it if you're having that trouble.

 

[SLiV3R]

Very nice work. I have tried over ten games. Dr Mario & Puzzle League runs near perfect!

There are a some work left to make most games near perfect. But I'm very happy with the progress so far!

Has the problem with the emulator not loading up been fixed yet?

It will only ever black screen if you try loading it under GW's emuNAND, you aren't on the latest ninjhax, or somehow you're running it on a version over 9.2.

 

[hippy dave]

Honestly I had it blackscreen inconsistently a few times with latest ninjhax on 9.0 sysnand, but as I said it's consistently worked fine if I wait a few seconds before starting cubic ninja.

 

[Keylogger]

I have a black screen when loading the emulator... I'm not using emuNAND...

N3DS 9.2E SYSNAND...
