It seems that most people always skip or completely looked over this step but MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE "S" FROM HTTPS Also: if you do this and follow through. You CAN NOT, i repeat CAN NOT make you're own lobby. You HAVE to use the public lobbies that are made. Unless you know how to make your very own private server.
Dude thank you so much. My girlfriend and I for our entire relationship have used Citra do to Pokemon Cagelockes Randomized together, and the news of it shutting down hurt us. Thank you to everyone involved to keep this alive
This is amazing! It's been 10 years since I last played Animal Crossing New Leaf with my younger brother. I'm 23 and he's now 20. With the knowledge from this video, me and him can finally play Animal Crossing again! Thanks for the video, my friend. Subscribing right now!
@@filippomonti4718 i just tried this methode on the video, and i never made an account for citra multiplayer, that means, i don't have a token. And ofc it works. make your friends reinstall and reconfig citra. btw: i used citra nightly, it it could be of any use
It works perfectly thank you ! I did one mistake initially : I did not close Citra when editing the .ini file, and it turns out that if you don't close Citra, changes are NOT saved. I did it again after closing Citra and it worked like a charm, no account needed indeed.
I think that Citra passively checks file compatibility while running, I saw it change some dates for seemingly no reason, and i lost a couple hours of gameplay due to not saving properly
@@watermill.116 No worries, glad you came to ask! Actually I was trying to directly connect Citra locally to another instance today. Yes the public lobbies are still available for me on both Canary and Nightly. It works for me in the US. Did you make sure to use the http url?
@@watermill.116 Hi! No worries, yes it shows for me. I'm in the US and it works for both Canary and Nightly. Maybe have you checked that the url is http and not https?
i followed every step it was a great tutorial but.. Me and my siblings wants to play Triforce Heroes toghether so i tried to download citra on 3 laptops, create a non listed room, but when i try to connext to the room from the other laptops it asks for IP adress of the server, how can i find it?
I did that and worked for me, I can join in public lobbies but I could not play Mario Party: Star Rush with my friends through Local Wireless. Idk wether it is a problem with the game or the public rooms...
hey man so i did exactly what you said to do for the emulator and it isnt showing any rooms, on top of that i noticed that every time i go out of notepad despite me saving it overwrites me save and goes back to the original text before it was saved
Hello, me and my friend want to play Kirby triple deluxe, but we cannot set up a room, so we cannot play together. How can we set up a room where just the two of us can play?
@@ThinCutGaming Please reply and thank you for your interest. I was just going to say this. If you are talking about hosting the server permanently in your answer, there is no need for that personally. Because the host will already have a saved save file. In short, it's okay, even if it's temporary. Thanks again
I have the public lobbies working and everything, but when i try to join some of them, i get the following error message: *Unable to connect to the host. Verify that the connection settings are correct. If you still cannot connect, contact the room host and verify that the host is properly configured with the external port forwarded.* Is this a problem on my end?
@@ThinCutGaming I mean yeah, I swapped the lobby part but that part with default looks completely different and I'm not sure what to do, I tried running it without changing that part but it didn't work
So I did all the process towards the qt config (primarily trying to find pokemon x lobbies) but it seems like theres no lobbies, I dont know if the game just has no lobbies or if theres something I did
WAIT. I just typed something random in that config file in the token section and it let me host a room. I haven't tested if it WORKS- but so far it seems you don't need a legit token.
I allready do all of that steps but I still can't play, because I don't have a Token. Yes I know I can put anything I want, but I try it many times and it still don't work can someone help me pleas?
Can you explain where this IP address is coming from? Is it like a community hosted server or something? Should I be concerned about connecting to it, like is there any risk of my data being breached? This all kind of new to me so I’m a bit hesitant
I understand your concerns, and no there is no risk at all from my experience and from other being able to connect. I can link you to the public server that is making this possible if you'll like
Hey Thin! The tutorial works great and i can play online, but the problem is i cant play online since i never had the time to sign up to citra. Do you know anything to help me?
I followed every step but when I click multiplayer in Citra not a single server appears, why does it happen? Is it because the servers are american and I'm with the european version of the game?
@@ThinCutGaming well I replaced everything written in the video but it doesn't work and I can't create an account citra. I did everything said in the video I replaced what needs to be replaced but it doesn't work

You have to use the public servers that are available, if you want to create your own lobby/room then you need to create your very own private server
I did that and worked for me, I can join in public lobbies but I could not play Mario Party: Star Rush with my friends through Local Wireless. Idk wether it is a problem with the game or the public rooms...
same problem
Hey thank for the help but I still have a question? How do you join an unlisted lobby's cause I don't have a citra account or token.
My pokemon ultra sun multiplayer battle randomly stops in mid battle
How to fix it?
you can't since it's the fault of weak server
Citra for android does not have the API installed for webservices. Id recommend if you could, install that before you continue.
i downloadesd the same citra version you are using and did all the steps, but still cant see public lobbies
@markoliver8881 did you make sure that you delete the "s" from "https"?
@@ThinCutGaming Tnks! I didn't but now that I did, it is working

Same
what do I do if i don't have a citra account and token
They are not required for multiplayer, all they do is allow you to use a custom profile icon (which doesn't work anymore)
it works for me thanks bro! I just wish it also works on my android because thats were I mainly play my mh4u
After I change the data in the qt config and save it, it goes back to what it was before, could I get some help?
Did you close out the citra application the moment you open up the config folder? Because if you don't, it won't save the changes

@@ThinCutGaming Thanks! This worked!
Make it what u had say but didnt appear any public lobby but also idk if is anyone play pokemon
