Homebrew Official Citra - New 3DS Emulator

[Miguel Gomez]

Maybe how to guild on "take the firmware from the home menu"

Wait. Isn't the SaveGame Config contains firmware?

Not sure, if is could be any of them, with a lot of data within.., only one one has one line only that is..
00000001.metadata

Edit: O you mean the system "config" from the nand folder..
----
Edit: Maybe the 3DS "boot.firm"

Yep.
nand/data/<zeros>/sysdata/00010017

I have no idea how would one patch that into a Owned Game converted to ROM though..

I dunno.
Anyways, I've dumped my 2DS, load System Settings(2DS dump), and this is what it looks like:

Same goes to the Official Canary Build too.
However, it will freeze because it lacks system keyboard.

I wonder why they nether used the NINTENDOo2DS logo on a N2DSXL ... but NINTENDOo3DS

It's Nintendo being Nintendo. A lazy fuck but did the job done.

I will try test the latest Canary build and see if it will also fix the problem.

I tested on the recent Canary build and nope.

Add-on: I mostly install all of my NAND on Citra(it's still incomplete) and I manage to make the system keyboard working on Canary. But emulator freeze afterwards.
Also, games and apps that uses the 3DS System Keyboard will definitely crash or freeze the emulator like Mii Maker or Mario Maker.

wii is the newest console you can emulate thats worth emulating cemu and cirta don't run most games perfectly so i would not get a powerful pc just for this emulator.

Well. If you don't want to play 3DS or Wii U Emulator, then don't.
Also, Dolphin is like more than 10 years old. Back then around 2003 or 2007, Gamecube games don't run well and Gamecube released on 2001. Anyways, if you want to talk about Wii stuffs, then don't comment here as it's pretty much offtopic.

Let others with better computers test the emulator. Heck, I don't even have good specs that runs Citra on fullspeed at 4K Resolution like I don't really care to do that since I have my own 3DS to play games(I only use the emulator to test, not to play) and it's really pricey. I'd stick using Citra on Native Resolution because it's faster. Now, this is just my opinion, but people nowadays really want to see both 3DS and Wii U Emulator to have better quality. Such PCMASTERRACE. Like I don't give a fuck about it.

It's been hours and no Windows release for the Official Canary? Hmm? I'm still using the recent Windows build for days lol.

Appveyor has been queing windows builds for a week now.

Also just a very small "clang-format" clean up fix too is needed.

Err edit i'm a dump shit, that's "travis" build i was taking about xd.

Also See @wwylele is working on a new DSP toy too
https://github.com/wwylele/teakra

Although I compiled it only "dsptester" Part, It just gave a crash Message on 3DS, I don't think his code is complete yet..

I took a look at Pokemon X in HEX editor "Tex-staring", It seems to be Using DSP:: DSP Only and NO HLE are LLE Unless it has a Hidden Compression are encryption of some sort ?.

 

[saad123]

any progress about fixing pokemon x and y now

They've already mentioned it like few pages ago(around 349 or 350)

If someone is curious to know about the status of Bravely Second,I just cleared the whole game without any problems while using "Citra Nightly | HEAD-79dca3d",the mingw version(I get more speed from it rather than with the msvc version)

 

[Slidingbass]

I have a question why do certain parts of games speed up when changing the ticks like the intros in Pokemon and Monster Hunter games. I assume different games will require different number of ticks to run smoothly. Is there a solution to this like there was to DSP (LLE'ing it). An in depth explanation would be appreciated.

This should answer most of your questions.

As for the explanation... let me try explain in a simpleway. Think of the 3ds as a pc, like every pc it needs an operation system. A part of the operation system is the kernel which manages running programs and gives access to the hardware. It also preforms scheduling which tells how long a program should run. The 3ds uses a special kernel called a microkernel what that basically means is that system calls (if a program needs hardware access i.e access to the GPU it accesses them through a system call) are also treated as a normal program. Citra as an emulator must emulate every aspect of this kernel. Now addticks messes with the scheduler timings which in turn messes with how long a system call needs to wait and how long it runs. Now u might be thinking "Oh just let all the system call run immediately without waiting" while that maybe true thats not the whole story. System processes running in the background waiting for request from other programs (games / other system calls) will also get speedup meaning it will check for the request more frequently which will fill the backlog of stuff that needs to be processed which translates to the main program(games) getting buried in the backlog which translates to the game thinking "Oh the system is lagging better make myself run faster" which fill fills the backlog even more until the game reaches a comfortable "speed". I hope u can see how hacky of a workaround this is and why im not adding it in my build because games runs better without any addticks manipulation. Ive said this before the current bottleneck making games slow is the vertex processing which is handled by the cpu phantom is working hard to move that to gl which will make the bottleneck gone and games wil run butter smooth.

Anyone here know what parts of the bios I need to copy over?

Just a small update to the texture scaling feature. I finally figured out whats causing all the artifacts, turns out 3ds does some weird texture data stuff that xBRz doesnt expect. I patched the xBRz to account for these edge cases so everything should be fine.
Have some screenshots ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆
