i cant get that because that requires opening citra

Its because your running the chrome os which isnt supported by citra which means your not able to run it

Can you try this Citra build? https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/download/nightly-1898/citra-linux-20230504-70335a7.AppImage

Instructions on how to open AppImages:

i can open it with a linux/penguin terminal but i dont know how to get past to wall of code

What wall of code? Did you follow the guide I linked on how to open AppImages on Chromebooks?
Does the wall of code appear after you typed sudo apt-get install nautilus in the terminal? If yes it asks you for permission to install nautilus. Type y in the terminal and press enter.

im sorry your right i this fixed my issue

i can open and use citra with the app image program given but my game is not listed and when i try to open my game in the files with citra it defaults to the old citra and crashes at the telemetry pop up

found this on google. literally created an account to say it works wonderfully if u follow strictly! thanks!
