The project isn't mature yet, to enjoy good speeds. Although adding the hw render boosts up the speed a lot, that only takes care of the gpu aspect. It is still running on an interpreter( dyncom) and I haven't seen any branch working on a recompiler. Memory management needs a lot of work and most games can't boot up. Finally, the dsp isn't implemented, and it will have a huge impact on speed when it is implemented. Frameskip isn't ideal, esp when the project isn't accurate enough. If you still wnt to more speed now, try tfarley's hd ogl branch, it has major improvements on the gpu side but you will need to build it yourselves.
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
damn, looks really badStrange that I didn't get a notification for this...
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.
Yeah, my computer is fairly weak. It's amazing that Dolphin can run on it at any reasonable amount.damn, looks really bad
maybe you have a chance though, when a recompiler is implemented
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?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.
No.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?

Anyone know why the emulator actually is running slow ? And how is it possible to speed it up :-)?

3GB of RAM (2.75 usuable due to video memory), AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-65 CPU, and 64-bit Windows 8.1....what's the rest of your specs?
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.Its more of a processor issue for speeds, so unfortunately it still won't be playable for you.
