Trick to increase fps about 10 - 20 fps of original fps on chinese citra build from baidu tieba but not sure will ended up with an overheated computer or not ,just try play citra for a while but not for too long hours with this trick ( i am not responsible if this trick not working or any other consequences happened to your pc,just share something that some of you may interest........

This link:
<snip> (use google translate if you not understand,mostly is laptop battery setting)

If you want English version:
Step 1 : Click on battery icon at button left of your laptop
2 : Click More power Options
3 : click change power settings
4 : Then click change advanced power settings
5 : At the Power Option , choose High Performance[Active],then scroll down,searching for Processor Power Management,double click on that option,now you have 2 things to do:
i)you will see Minimum Processor State and now,change its plugged in to 99%
ii)Minimum Processor State change its plugged in to 100%

After that ,click apply,and then click ok , And DONE !


PROOF

the result will be increase in fps like picture below :
BEFORE (pic 6) & AFTER (pic 2-5)

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK , IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR LAPTOP OVERHEATED BY THIS TRICK,DON'T TRY,JUST SHARING ,NO FORCING !

There is no trick in this, you just changed the power management options, most of the people who play on notebooks already have this config this way. Also, this is useless for anyone using a regular desktop PC. PS: the only output of this is the battery running out of power much faster, there is no risk of any damage.

Citra don't work in 32 bits systems.

From the official FAQ:

"
Which platforms does Citra support?
We're pleased to say that Citra works on all three major desktop OSs!

Citra is actively tested and supported on 64-bit versions of Windows (7 and up), Linux and OS X. Other platforms may work, but aren't tested by developers. In the far future, mobile platforms may be targeted as well. We have no plans to support 32-bit operating systems."

More 20% or 30% speed boost in Chinese build will make games smooth.

Realy? you see after and before fps?. This method for laptops only.

Not necessarily, any CPU of which the governor scales down its frequencies will perform better with less to no scaling; well assuming it kept it scaled down even on 100% usage.
A correct CPU governor shouldn't need this though.

Ok, I have managed to compile citra in order to run it on a x86 system (32 bit)... But it runs slow as you can see... xD And I'm running it on my pc gaming (intel core i5 4590, gtx 960, 4 gb ram)

I'm trying to find the chinese source code because I'm sure it will be fast.

Spoiler
