I've been looking for an emulator that would be a decent replacement for Citra (especially since it and Yuzu got shut down).

Any suggestions?

If you still have citra installed then stick to that. Otherwise I've heard mixed things about Lime3DS, so you could possibly give that a go.

is it necessary to install the cias in the citra as in the 3ds or does it work with 3ds files?

I have a very old computer, 12 years old, does it work on very old computers?

Not sure if we're even allowed to share links to Citra, as they took down their repositories as a response to Yuzu. We don't want Nintendo ninjas looking at this thread.

Lime3DS is good cause it very is a fork of Citra.

However it can't remember my damn control schemes for a second or two. Turn off the game, and your control config is messed up.

Citra is good if you have the build, panda3ds idk the status of, and lime is good but don't expect for a controller to be remembered for too long.

Just download it from the links I gave you It's citra, and no need for anything else.

I'm taking the links down actually after an hour so download them as fast as you can.

You didn't directly give me the links, but alright, i guess.

It's best if people still want to hold on to that fruit and the one that i have will work for when it works. But I do like to ask: I'd this one actively developed? It can't get worked on anymore cause Nintendo tricked it down with Yuzu, or am i not getting something here, and it's an archive link of the last version of Citra before it happened.

Na, It's last update was before Citra got bombed down. Exactly one day after the last version of Citra was made. If you don't trust me it's okay. Just get Lime3DS or something else.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.
