Homebrew Discussion Running Citra on Switch Linux

[Deleted User]

Well i was able to build an install Citra on Ubuntu Switch Linux

Now i am getting the message Open GL 3.3 was not found , but my mesa supports up to Open GL 4.3 , i was asking the Citra Team about a solution they said that we should send them our Gles Output so they could fix the Bug.

Does anyone know a certain workaround ?

i tried this via terminal
sudo MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.3 citra , but it wont load the xwindow for some reason.

Wait, what?

Citra? The Citra to play 3DS Games? Dude, awesome!

yeah the software launches fine , but once i try to run games it asks for Open GL 3.3 ... which we already have so this is something with the Open GL Loader from Citra

You will have to set the core profile manually, either in the source code of citra or by appending MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 in the terminal when you launch citra.

this is the problem , i can launch terminal only over ssh like external , internal i cant launch terminal to enter the right commands that sucks

 

[TheKrane]

You can connect over ssh and still launch programs on the desktop.
All you have to do is execute 'export DISPLAY=:0' before launching the program (MESA_GL_OVERRIDE=3.3 citra)

Citra is for the x86 architecture not ARM.

Question... how are you expecting to run citra when in reality it needs a mid-high range pc to actually run "decently"?

No harm in trying, really.

The 3DS and the Switch both have ARM CPUs so 3DS emulation on the Switch isn't comparable to 3DS emulation on PC.

That doesnt mean it will run somewhat decent. If it were the case the ds emulator for 3ds would be running full speed to this day.

The power gap between the DS and the 3DS isn't as significant as the gap between the 3DS and the Switch. Besides, the 3DS can run DS games natively so really few people are willing to put a lot of effort towards making the DS emulator better than it already is, instead the focus is mainly on things like TWLoader.

Upload your Citra build maybe someone can make it work.

 

[MonMonz]

any updates or news for this?

 

[MYFW]

Would be awsome!
