Homebrew CitrAGB - 3DS GBA Emulator (WIP)

[AndrewPH]

Dang nice work man, Minish Cap seems to be running like a charm with very little visual distortion.

Just an FYI, libkhax fails to work from ninjhax 2.0, so devices on 9.2 and below cannot currently use dynrec properly (and the app will crash and burn). Not sure what the cause is, but I'm fairly certain it's outside the scope of CitrAGB.

Good reason to keep ninjhax 1.x save backed up?

I guess smea still has some stuff to work out,...

 

[shinyquagsire23]

So like, Pokemon Fire Red on ninjhax 2.0 on an N3DS via interpreter is actually faster than dynrec. Not even kidding.

 

[hippy dave]

That sounds pretty promising.

I really like this emulator a lot! Is there a way to play at full screen atm?

As of now, no. Maybe in the future, no guarantees though because my focus on things is all over the place lately.

Ok. Thanks for the quick reply!

If anyone is on 9.2 or below and wants to try CitrAGB on 2.0, here is a version which forces the interpreter for now. It's neat to try out on N3DS.

How long do you think it will take to have this emulator running at full speed?

I really hope to see fullscreen at some point but I understand the focus isn't on this feature yet, optimising and making the games run properly is obviously more important, once this state is reached, we'll talk about comfort features,...

Citra GB work with CIA cubic ninja?

@shinyquagsire23, I got two questions:

What are the benefits of Ninjhax 2.0 at the moment?
And also, what games are fully playable right now (with sound)? Or is that still a stretch goal?

I'm having some issues with the emulator on my N3DS (I'm on Ninjhax 2.0, on firmware 9.9)

It seems like only some games are booting at all; and there are like 2-3 games that actually run decently. FireRed won't even boot for me; I'm using the Interpreter build that you linked.

Maybe the Bios is being buggy? It would not work until I downloaded a real bios. For some reason the Normatt one wouldn't work.

2.0 has speed improvements on n3DS, and it works on 9.0-9.9 instead of 4.0-9.2
I would recommend my setup if your on 9.0-9.2 with an n3DS. Have the cart with NH 1.1b and have 2.0 installed on a cia version of the game (either emuNAND which IDK if it works on that or like me on sysNAND with pasta.)

Tried both. Only Zero Mission, Minish Cap, and Superstar Saga are in a playable state on my end.

Holy crap! This is a lot faster! I'm playing Fire Emblem at fullspeed right now. As before, some parts aren't rendering properly, but it's minor at worst. Gonna test out my other games. (And hey! It's running on Gateway! )

Edit: my test results:
Fire Emblem Binding Blade (eng translation): fullspeed
Fire Emblem: fullspeed
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones: fullspeed
(all three have minor graphical issues)
Pokemon Emerald: won't boot
Pokemon Fire Red: very slow
Pokemon Ruby: full speed
Pokemon Leaf Green: very slow
Zelda: Minish Cap: full speed
Whoo!

Nice. N3DS correct?

You got FireRed to boot? I can't even get it to boot on my end!
