  1. You can change layouts in the View menu or in the Graphics settings in Citra. The hotkey to cycle through layouts is F10. Toggle fullscreen with F11. Keep in mind that 3DS’s top screen is 400x240 which is not 16:9 aspect ratio so you will have black bars on the sides.

  2. It doesn’t? Are you on the latest Citra?

  3. You can find cheat codes over at: https://github.com/iSharingan/CTRPF-AR-CHEAT-CODES/tree/master/Cheats

@tywald

bro i downloaded it from the main site of citra

it must be the latest or not?

how do i install cheats?

#5

Both Nightly 1554 and Canary 1764 should support it, if not I will try bring this up to get more information.

You can add cheats while the game is running if you go to Emulation->Cheats… then add them one by one.

Right, cheats that require you to press buttons won’t work.

You can expect crashes when using cheats, remove those that don’t work.

@tywald

Oh really? This is news to me :stuck_out_tongue: Good to know! :slight_smile:

#13

@tywald

do you know how i change the language?
its the europe version, i want it in german.

its on english right now.

#14

Try set region to EUR in the General tab in Citra configuration and then set language to German in the System tab. Not sure if you also need to set Country to Germany, might as well just in case.

@tywald

i need to take pictures now
but it says “problem with sd card, you cant make pictures”

so what do i know?

#16

I guess transfer the save to your Nintendo 3DS and do that there, then transfer back. Use Checkpoint: https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/releases for that.

Here are guides to dump later:

@tywald

I haven’t played the game much on Citra but I’m able to take photos just fine, they save in \sdmc\DCIM\100NIN03
Here is a sample:

However I did transfer my save from my Nintendo 3DS so probably because of that it is working. I don’t feel like replaying it right now to reach the part in the story to take pictures :stuck_out_tongue:

@tywald

So why do you think I have that problem?
