@drwhojan could you please add link to your latest build with xBRZ filtering?

Sorry to say jesiby took his xBRZ Branch down and has not been re-based into master branch

Ok, thank you for answering

Well compiled it in Mingw version, seems to crash only on exit of the emulator, main build msvs 2017 was fine.

After a removed branch are two, it seems to be this one that broke the mingw builds, on exit of games are citra, just stalls and crash, unless quit CMD

build was fine from SidebySide Layout #2859

 

[drwhojan]

After some testing be four and after, turns out that it is PIPE3 that makes Tales of the Abyss work.

Also fixed the huge speed, casing the freeze at startup.

So some issues freeze can be down to sound alone!

Most likely, PM X/Y is missing the m4a audio, huge speed on fresh game same issue..

X/Y unplayable just becoz of m4a audio? Had citra official dev verrified it ? or it is just an assumption?

Mostly assumption, I'm Not a coder myself, just a merger.

But devs sometimes get information from this page.

Devs, nether really mention much about it..

From what I found in Tales of the Abyss, if the pipe3 is not there, the game freeze at startup and speed goes into overload.

Same we have in a new game of PM X/Y.., when just going into the Mirror, Game Freeze and speed overload.

Think 2/3DS might have few years in the old girl yet lol

Game would be much better on switch

Time will tell.

Got a email, my R4I gold RTS will be shipped in a day!, then get my new 2ds xl hax .

 

[drwhojan]

Seems this audio should have fixed the "Closed" listed games.
https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/2858

If can report is as an issues, It works fine under Mingw compile without this one branch.
-----
Edit: Tested its still at it, issue: Close down game then emulator, stalls and crashes, but can close down by cmd faslter.

OUT Citra Canary 16: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-canary/releases/tag/canary-16

Log: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-canary/tree/canary-16

 

[DaMan]

Made a GCC build based on canary #16.

 

[StripTheSoul]

Quick question because I haven't been up to date on Citra lately: Are bleeding edge builds no longer happening? At least mine hasn't updated in quite a while...
And what's canary? Some new branch?

As far as we know, Citra Bleeding Edge has been discontinued now is Citra canary man, @jroweboy listed some improvements with respect to citra Bleding edge some time ago you can check below:

* the library used (squirrel) is overly opinionated for no benefits. it installs to one specific location and thats it. the new installer doesn't have this limitation, you can choose where to install to.
* the old updater is hard coded for windows. there was no chance to bring it to other platforms without rewriting it from scratch. the new installer works on win, mac, and linux.
* the "Would you like to update dialog" gives no progress indication. People with slow internet click yes and then nothing happens. Because its compiled in mingw its not possible to use TaskDialog for it either (which would let me add a download progress bar). new installer has a progress bar.
* bleeding edge rewrote two files meaning if the master branch touched either file, it would conflict meaning bleeding edge would "break" all the time. its a headache to have to monitor it to make sure its working. new installer only changes 1 line of the build scripts meaning it won't ever conflict (and it only changes the deploy key line which won't change in master either)

also canary is still going to have the merge of in progress branches like bleeding edge does. thats not going anywhere.

Ok, so where can I find a working build of canary (DaMan's build doesn't work for me)?
