I see nothing just a block of black screen and white around it.I tested it and it boots on the title screen.
I have:
intel 2600k
AMD r9 290
could it be because of my video card?
Which emulator did u use and what config?
The old one that John GodGames used. But meh, it crashed once play.

BTW. That was few months ago.
Yes that's true, that this is the most common approach. Another possibility could be to rely on a very detailed documentation (e.g. for developers).
The leaked Wii DevKit documentation was very helpful to understand how the hardware is working. So many functions could be directly implemented very quickly.
In the past, I used only very detailed documentations for virtualisations, which was the quickest way to build the simulation.
But as already assumed, you are using the 3DS with small homebrew apps as reference.
The Pokemon Kiddys are really annoying. Follow your own path independent of any fan group, which shall be a healthy balance between accuracy and speed.
The open source culture is beneficial. However you have to consider, that after some point in time you have to rewrite the other code.
a) to fit the code to your coding style
b) to optimise the code according to your targets (e.g. dynarec)
c) to get rid of unused functions
d) to enhance the code to enable new features
As a consequence you will have to rewrite the code dramatically.
XQEMU is a good example, which has certain big limitations due to the qemu base.
Starting from speed issues over UI limitations and ending at modern feature sets like HD upscaling.
It boots, but it's not playable. Very slow, 2D textures are missing, lots of artifacts.
Wait, we talked about testing before. We are already basing our implementations on reverse engineered docs though (either selfmade or 3dbrew). Note that a lot of Citra developers are active contributors to 3dbrew. Mostly this, this and this.
We won't use leaked devkit information due to the risk of using copyrighted material which could cause a lot of trouble.
Nobody in the emulation scene should. It could open legal options for system manufacturers against emulation in general in case-law.
Of course, but only if different parts of the code interact. It can also be a slow transition, so it's really not that important.
Citras style guide is pretty much: Use the style of the file you are in (which also makes contributing back possible).
I don't feel like elaborating on that HERE, it might be true to some degree only. I personally only blame the outdated version of qemu we use. xqemu is LLE so we / I (can't really speak for espes et al.) don't really want some features in the first place. Once xqemu works it's the base for HLE.
For xqemu, I only care about bootrom HLE so it's easier to make it work for the average user / dev.

I take it this means that anyone who's taken advantage of Nintendo opening up the developer portal to everyone and accepted the NDA is now an untouchable pariah so far as Citra is concerned?
There are two possibilities of reverse engineering.
Blackbox and Whitebox. Either you are writing small homebrew apps which reveals the function on the real hardware (blackbox), or you have a detailed documentation about the functionality of the system (whitebox). Both approaches are good. And both insights are useful to create an emulator.
The issue you are talking about is using code from the manufacturer (e.g. Nintendo), which is really not recommended.
But using the original documentation to know how the hardware/system is working, and on the basis of that documentation writing own code, is absolutely legit and valid.
You are doing more or less the same with the blackbox approach, however with the whitebox approach you can skip the homebrew part (to see how the system reacts) because it is already documented.
espes is doing a great job. That is clear.
I guess the merging of newer version of qemu into xqemu is the issue, because of the adaptations I was talking about.
If xqemu reaches a stable state, for sure it can act as baseline for further features. However reaching the stable state is still a long way to go.
On the compatibility list it says that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity is playable, but every time I encounter a fight with wild Pokemon in Hazy Pass level, the emulator crashes. Same thing happens before the boss fight on that level so you're unable to continue the game. I'm using the newest nightly build of Citra. Just wanted to point that out in case it hasn't been talked about before.
The fatal bug is the game which exists. That makes it impossible to beat the first boss.
Nice! I really liked Planet Robobot though. Not only because of Star Fox's Barrel Roll or Smash Bros Kirby, but the storyline and the Amiibo feature is what I liked about this!
Heh! @DaMan called you a Cyndaquil even though you're a Quilava like few months(or a year?). XD
Anyways, does it have any changes on other games like Hyrule Warriors Legends or Smash 4?
The last time I checked was Hyrule Warriors Legends booted on the menu screen.
