citra VS citra-Apple-Silicon-Build

Doesn't cover 3DS (Citra)

Another wonderful option is to play Nintendo 3DS games with the Citra emulator. They look incredible. I would go so far as to say that if you're a fan of the console then this is the best way to experience its games, even better than on the original hardware. Again use 3840x1200 @ 60 Hz and full SBS. In Emulation -> Configure... -> Graphics -> Stereoscopy set it to "Side by Side". Also increase the renderer internal resolution to as high as your PC can handle (I used "5x Native"). We'll also have to set the display layout for our resolution and aspect ratio. Unfortunately, this has to be done manually. Browse to %APPDATA%\Citra\config and edit qt-config.ini with this in the [display] section:

After some more research, I discovered that the Citra devs discovered and fixed this issue by allowing the Back button to open the in-emulation menu. This fix was added on Jan 22 2023. When I checked the version of Citra available on the Google Play Store on my phone, it was a very old version from May 2021, which is strange because viewing the same Play Store page on my computer shows it was updated in April 2023... maybe your Play Store version is also outdated? If so, the only solution I can think of would be to install the apk from the Citra Nightly github repo.

You might want to consider compiling it on your Mac yourself, rather than trying to download a build, given the situation with MacOS transitioning to ARM. Beyond that, your question is related ton emulation, not ROMs specifically, so if you still need help, ask on related subreddits like r/EmulationOnMacOS and r/CitraEmulator.

I used the one here (you need a github account): https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/actions/runs/5078058438

There have been several recent changes merged for custom textures. Here is one of the pull requests for example: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/6452. The slow loading you're talking about was only an issue for me if preload custom textures was enabled.

oh shoot, didn't realize that was for intel mac only. Yeah, someone built a m1 mac version, but it's not working properly (no audio, crashes)

Citra wouldn't give you a virus unless you downloaded it from the wrong link. Either the get the pre-built M1 build here: https://github.com/SuperOkazaki/citra-Apple-Silicon-Build/releases or build it yourself here: https://community.citra-emu.org/t/citra-macos-m1-arm64-build/347604/28

You can grab the pre-built ARM version of Citra here: https://github.com/SuperOkazaki/citra-Apple-Silicon-Build/releases or go build it yourself here (building it yourself will also give you builds of the newer commits as the prebuilt one is pretty outdated): https://community.citra-emu.org/t/citra-macos-m1-arm64-build/347604/28

You can try building the arm version yourself, using instructions on https://citra-emu.org/wiki/building-for-macos/, there was a reddit post with much more detailed instructions, but I cant seem to find it. there is an unofficial version but it is quite old, so YMMV https://github.com/SuperOkazaki/citra-Apple-Silicon-Build/releases

Hi, I tried playing Pokemon X using the Native M1 Citra Port from (https://github.com/SuperOkazaki/citra-Apple-Silicon-Build/releases) but every time I select the language the ROM and Citra both just crash, and don't open again. Is this an issue with the Native Port or with Citra on M1 in general (with or without Rosseta).
