    if you have received a file instead just open the file by double clicking go into the second file and click on citra (it should say application on the side of it not the image) and finally it will ask something along the lines of grouping them together so do that and you can start the program

    i have an issue that seems to not have a direct answer: I open 3ds rom archive and download one, after some time the download ends and when I open it gives me a file. From this now on i don't really know what to do. In every video i see people just dragging folders full of roms, but if i try to create a folder with that one rom it just won't work. Sometimes it deletes the file from the folder and its nowhere to be found... I really don't know what to do now since i cannot find any more accurate tutorials.

      You may need to convert them from CCI to CIA file type, there are tools online to do that. But it should still work if you make a folder for games, place the file in it and then in Citra there should be an option to add a games directory. Just select that folder where you put the games

    Another problem is that some of these website download game is kinda sus, and when i tried downloading yours, my potato laptop detected a virus in your file.
    It sucks that i can't really play pokemon on pc and with randomize if i do so because most videos are about citra and most of their download link has virus.

Work pretty well and never got or detect any virus. I never misclick on a pop-up or non official website download link to get a virus. It wasn't my fault, I was just following 6-9 different videos about citra emulators to download to Play pokemon but somehow detect viruses. I dont know how that person toxicclan got virus but I didn't, my laptop only detect and tell me to be careful it might contain virus.

    What about saving the game and loading your save game afterwards? I just downloaded Citra and am currently downloading Yokai Watch 2: Psychic Specters. How can I save the game, just as you can on the console? Where are the saves located? And how can I load the save game up when I next want to play? Does it save inside the ROM file or directory or something? Sorry, I'm very new and confused.

    • @CWillyHD
      @CWillyHD  Рік тому

      It's saved in a Citra folder, so yea it behaves like a regular 3DS save. You can close Citra when you're done playing and pick right back up from your save. To find the save file itself, I believe you can just right click on the game from the Citra menu and select "open save data location" or something along those lines. This also means you can go on google and search for save files for any 3DS game, and just drag and drop them into that folder. I've downloaded 100% save files for some pokemon games to use for videos

    • @S-Mania
      @S-Mania Рік тому

      @@CWillyHD Do you need to always do that to locate your save or just on your first go? It sounds less intuitive and more frustrating if you have to keep opening and selecting it from File Explorer instead of just on the Citra menu screen itself. Especially if you just want to jump into the game quickly, forget where it's saved and have to go hunting.

    • @CWillyHD
      @CWillyHD  Рік тому

      @S-Mania no as soon as you double click a game to launch it, Citra will check that folder for a save file automatically. So if you don’t want to modify the save in any way, just don’t even go into the folder. Just click on the games in the menu when Citra launches and it’ll behave like a normal 3DS
