Homebrew Official Citra - New 3DS Emulator

[sagaopc]

Only way to run ROMS at the moment. From what I hear, it's unlikely Citra will ever be able to decrypt ROMs on its own.

Thanks!

Unless someone manages to uncover the common key inside the processor, Citra will never be able to decrypt ROMs on it's own or even emulate sound. All that can be done at the moment in development is improving the emulation of the graphics (including the shading and rendering of 3D models and textures). Eventually, we're going to reach a point in where the graphics emulation is perfect and running at full speed, but no sound at all. Which eventually will lead to us calling it 'Silent Emulator 3DS' until the common key is found. But for all we know, it may never happen.

Huh? Why is sound emulation dependant on the common key?

DSP binaries which are used for sound are signed. That's why homebrew uses CSND atm, it has been difficult to RE DSP.

There is no such thing as a "common key" which can magically decrypt all game images. Each game uses a different encryption key.

THANK YOU WAIT....
HOW DO I USE IT...

Drag your 3ds roms onto the citra exe, if your roms are encrypted they will not work, and they probably won't work anyway due to low compatibility.

It's not an exe file, I built it for 32bit Linux (as I have said before). Maybe this is the problem.

In which case you just type citra <romname> in the terminal

Probably never, due to the fact we haven't found a way to undo xor on PC yet.

We know the keys, we don't know the algorithm for the keys.

Can confirm reshade compatibility with citra and oot. Good job guys <3 I will have a whole new generation of games to reshade in a few years. ^.^

How do I go about hooking up a ps4 controller to the emulator?

Maybe use JoyToKey and map the buttons accordingly?

I have built citra from source and it worked fine with my 32bit Ubuntu 14.04 (at least for homebrew). I had trouble linking the non-qt version, but the qt version worked fine.

Why would you be using a 32bit OS?

 

[bayleef]

Why would you be using a 32bit OS?

Because I have a 32bit CPU.

Your computer is too old to play citra anyway, you should get a newer computer if you want to actually play at playable speed.

or get the actual console

I've been implementing fragment lighting in Citra with the help of fincs :) pic.twitter.com/lGXCZPLOyt

Is there no way to remap the controls to a game controller?
