The “alternate speed” button is gone, and now I can’t toggle the speed, it happened when i upgraded to citra 1819 and it was really useful, especially in pokemon games

Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.

  • Enabling Accurate Multiplication is recomended in certain games. If you are experiencing graphical glitches, try enabling this option.
  • Please enable the Vsync option if you are experiencing screen tearing.
  • The CPU Clock percentage is not 100%. You may experience unexpected game speed.

The implementation is still there, only it’s been moved to the per-game settings tab. Go to your Citra start screen and right click on your game, then select Properties. In here, you can set an emulation speed specific to your game. You can use the same hotkey as before to now switch between your per-game emulation speed and the global per-game speed. Whichever one you set as the speed up is up to you.

It was a bit of a debate on how to best handle this on the dev side as well :sweat_smile:
Sorry for the confusion.

Would it be possible to set the general emulation speed as the default speed instead of the per-game emulation speed?

Because as is it implemented now, pokemon starts at ultra fast speed and you need to toggle it to normal. And on mario & luigy i use slow speed instead, so it starts the game slow.

I can’t flip the speeds because in those 2 games i use different speeds, and on the rest of the games i only use the default speed (so changing it wouldn’t make sense).

Just set your global speed to 100%. Then go to your per-game settings and set a custom “sped up” emulation speed for that game. Press Ok. Now open the per-game settings back up and set it to use global speed. Now when you start your game, it’ll start in global speed, and when you want the speed-up, just use the hotkey to switch between global and per-game speed.

Not the most intuitive, I know. I argued with the dev a lot about the implementation of this, but this is what ended up being seen as the best solution.
