Thanks too bad that layers option large screen isn't present

 

[Akutagawa]

Do you have methods to deal with bug?

 

[Miguel Gomez]

Is daman's build good enough for Sapphire?Or should i stick with the chinese build?

Please bare in mind, if you got random freezes, just walk around until the game froze temporary(with no sound) or so called "unmapped write32" error. Once it passed, you can battle trainers or catch more Pokemon.

I also would like to know if it's able to delete a saved file or use mine from another build.

Locate your Citra Emulator Folder, copy this directory:
\user\sdmc\Nintendo 3DS\00000000000000000000000000000000\00000000000000000000000000000000\title\00040000
and you see some save files. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire(Rom hacks have the save number because it's a Rom hack!) save is 0011c500.

Whoops forgot about the build linking thing, I'll have to keep that in mind.
Anyway someone told me that Pokemon X and Y have a tendency to freeze when you pick up or receive any item. Does this happen in builds outside of the Chinese ones?

X and Y are broken af. No way to get a starter or picking up items.

Guys, what is the best official build so far? and which is fastest?

 

[Miguel Gomez]

Guys, what is the best official build so far? and which is fastest?

For the official, well the nightly build.
But if you meant "unofficial", DaMan's Build. Also, we're not allowed to post unofficial builds here.

This thread is for unofficial/chinese build , actually you should ask in official thread,right?

Anyway,if you are looking for unofficial build which compiled from github ,then please refer page 19,it should be somewhere there......

Boss,the latest DaMan build work well on your ORAS compare to chinese build?

 

[Marya]

oh wait sorry I meant unofficial!! i know that links are not allowed, but why are they not allowed?

 

[X Virus]

oh wait sorry I meant unofficial!! i know that links are not allowed, but why are they not allowed?

It depend on the citra build's maker of whether they release the source code or not,based on my understanding,which are:
- the chinese/unofficial/other build release without source code that is why it is not allow or illegal
- Unofficial build from citra team like wwylele, DaMan, Leo's build is allow to share legally with link since it come along with source code in Github

In last page got 2 unofficial builds which are legal,take a look if you interest,not sure both are the same build or not.......That will be the best build atm if i not mistaken

 

[Rughyan]

Good day! Everytime I use DaMan's build it stopped working.

 

[X Virus]

Good day! Everytime I use DaMan's build it stopped working.

Please show us the screenshot of that error in your citra command ,not clear about your problem

 

[X Virus]

@DaMan , Phenom build is the latest build which name as " Megaman Legacy Collection is now playable" ,right? And i heard Phenom build hangs at character's gender selection in pokemon x/y,erm,this bug seems like not happen to any other previous build....can i have any description of this Phenom Build's result of testing pokemon x ?

 

[Rughyan]

Please show us the screenshot of that error in your citra command ,not clear about your problem

I mean this one. every time I load pokemon either ORAS or X it always stopped

1)Which DaMan build are you using?previous build or latest build?which page in this thread you got it?
2)Btw,you open the rom by drag drop ?
3)Did you try other exe. except citra-qt? sse4 or what else?All not working?
4)Your pc got msvcp error or not?
5)What is your pc spec?
6)Is it the same happen to chinese build on your pc whenever you boot the rom?Did you try?

 

[DaMan]

FYI that's the latest master with uncommitted changes. Mine and Chinese build have branch names. Mine's the big one (QT/SDL are static linked so no DLLs necessary).

As you see, all of them are public on github and in the status of merged / reviewing / WIP. There is no secret in the Chinese build (and most unofficial builds, really). The only difference the Chinese build has than official build are

• Additional merged some WIP branch and PR (as shown above)
• Compiled by GCC which makes it faster

That's it! Stop "digging" the Chinese build because you are not finding anything new. And please pay more respect to the author of these branches, instead the Chinese build itself. Please remember these authors are all working for the official citra - the official build is not "the one who doesn't effort", it is making great effort reviewing each piece of the code and merging them. The Chinese build (and other unofficial builds) is there only for those who can't wait patiently and want to try some new (probably buggy) features early.

 

[StripTheSoul]

Sorry, I'm new to these unofficial builds (not to Citra), I just want to see how fast it can go at this point (on my PC).
So, which would be the fastest build to use? And it seems, there are several exe's in some of those builds, I'm guessing citra-qt-gcc-avx.exe would be the fastest for me (because my CPU is good enough)? However, actually, non of those exe's work for me. They all crash on start (doesn't matter if I double-click them or drag&drop a rom file on them). What am I missing?

Exactly!, and a great post also. Its thanks to the work you guys are doing that we have any builds at all. All the Chinese are doing is compiling the work you guys are doing (And dont get me wrong im thankful for such builds since i cant compile myself). However no one should forget the real backbone to them builds so to speak.
Its also why i always say "And super thanks to the Citra team" and give link to the official site in my videos along with the un official build.

 

[drwhojan]

Grate/Nice one one wwylele and thanks you for it , yes that all it is very much so combined build they where using, you're right yes we should pay more respect to the authors!.

I'll take a look into them builds, No idea wow that zelda albw loaded without a save from a fresh game stat, wish could re-step what did it.., it did that was it.

I'll replay more on this tomoz, getting late in this part of the world, off for few beers and microwave popcorn, good movie!.

Good night, thanks all

edit: "

• Compiled by GCC which makes it faster"

Trying , Nearly there, just few errors, Do I have Cmake ?, only visual studio 2015 64x works well to compleate it ready to compile, MiniGW making give some errors in order to use for GCC compiling

PS: Grate work by you too , keep it up bud !
