Can you proof that a recompiler(Idk what you mean by this you can recompile the whole Application or just jit the most used(or some important) code sections) will improve the performance alot? It also costs alot of dynamic abilitys for the debugger. I mean see how Citra works It provides all Kernel functions already in the code itself so that takes a huge amount of work away. So I highly doubt the cpu will be anything critical currently. I think the Gpu is a major problem here as the Hw Renderer branch was proofing it already.
Remember the 3ds Cpu always has to execute the kernel functions itself and a modern desktop cpu will beat the 3ds arm cpu by far distance. So some profiling would probably show why if It's required.
Another cool option would be to recompile the whole rom with llvm or something similar and link the Citra Kernel functions properly as I said a few pages before. It wouldnt take that long to recompile a 3ds application I think.
Strange that I didn't get a notification for this...what are your specs? the only big issue here is the lack of a recompiler or something more powerful than an interpreter. software renderer part was already taken care of by some good ol' opengl
Anyway, my specs are an Intel i3 dualcore with 8GB of RAM on Windows 8.1 (Ubuntu Vivid as well, although that's on a USB 3.0 external drive), as well as Intel integrated graphics. If you need more info, my computer is an unmodified Acer Aspire V5-571P.
I'd also really like to hook up a USB controller, but it doesn't seem to support it, unless I've missed something.

damn, looks really bad
maybe you have a chance though, when a recompiler is implemented
Yeah, my computer is fairly weak. It's amazing that Dolphin can run on it at any reasonable amount.damn, looks really bad

I don't know much about the interactions and the processes in the CPU core. But I have been following citra development for a long while now and also other emus like dophin. And I don't think you would say that modern systems will beat the ppc CPU of the gamecube, as current archs have better optimizations. You wouldnt play your games on the interpreter, would you?
Now citra has very little features other than CPU,gpu and other background stuff. It doest even have a dsp core. It may be coping with it interpreter now, but when all the features in their to-do list is introduced, it will need the speed and improvements a recompiler can give. The project is just bare bones now, and nowhere near even nogba is, and nogba can be said to be an emulator with very good emulation but the least size for a modern emulator.
All emulator that I know of started with an interpreter for accuracy, as they try to get all necessary CPU instructions down and bare usability, then move on to recompilers, as they they now try to improve what instructions they can and boost speed.
So, apparently Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sees Citra as a New 3DS and crashes on startup. I read something on Github about "stubbing the APT command 0x01010000". Anyone have any idea how to do that?
Is there any progress on re-texturing ability yet? I don't think there's an emulated console that needs it more. We'll be able to make ocarina of time 1080p, but the pixels on those 2d menu and display elements are going to be shocking if we don't have texture packs .

I'd rather see dynrec sooner than random emulator features to be honest. No point in retexturing things if they run super slow.Is there any progress on re-texturing ability yet?

Because every emulators is start to running slow at the beginning of development. That's called mature.
yep, it isn't optimized very well yet. How to speed it up? Wait a year or two.
3GB of RAM (2.75 usuable due to video memory), AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-65 CPU, and 64-bit Windows 8.1.
I'd find it very unlikely that you'll EVER be able to run citra on that sorta of machine at anywhere near full speed, tbh. That's pretty low end specs for even running win 8.1, let alone trying to do something cpu intensive such as emulation for a relatively modern system.
Its more of a processor issue for speeds, so unfortunately it still won't be playable for you. I don't think theres any processors available that will run games full speed eitherWonder if I can run anything fullspeed when I get my new 5960x/980Ti SLI build up and running. Lol, wonder if anyone has even tested on specs like those
Current systems can potentially run citra at full speed. even a 1.7 ghz haswell can run it as long as the necessary optimizations are coded. But currently citra doesn't even have all 3ds services implemented and it is running on an interpreter, so even the fastest system 20 years from now will not run anything at full speed( except homebrew) the way citra is now.
I regularly test citra on my i5 4210u with geforce 840m and my system doesn't not even turbo-boost on all cores for citra, and when I run dolphin, everything is pushed to the maximum, and some games run slow even with that. Citra will run at the same slow speed even if you use an overclocked K-series and a 980ti
Even Cubic Ninja runs with roughly 5 FPS on my i7 4710HQ and GTX 850M. So I guess that's roughly the minimum, the way Citra currently is. But this will all change once it gets JIT Dynarec.
I'm trying to just get Citra to run a .3DS game, and all my attempts have failed: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...e-for-use-with-the-citra-3ds-emulator.393086/

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
