Citra Support
#1

Issue:
A Link Between Worlds opens a grey page with speed, frames and FPS (the loading page for games, I suppose), and then crashes out. No clue why.

See this thread how to build for M1 as it’s not officially supported:

#4

Before I try that, I would like to note that I have tried Project Mirai 2 and it’s worked just fine, it’s only happened when I tried to open A Link Between Worlds.

#5

Alright, I’ve tried again and it seems to not have made a difference. I seem to be stuck for options here.

#6

This was with your own M1 build? If yes then I’m afraid I don’t know.

#7

Alright! I got it, finally. It seems that the solution was to turn off Hardware Shader. No clue why this works.
