Does it work on your Nintendo 3DS?

[Bralma01]

The rom does work on citra. After randomizing it doesn’t work anymore

[space]

So I just randomized my own copy of Omega Ruby and it works just fine on Citra.

The latest release of pk3DS supports unpacking and repacking decrypted games (Tools > Extrack/Rebuild). Do not use any other tools to unpack/repack or decrypt your game, they will break compatibility with Citra!
Use the latest version of GodMode9 and your game will be properly decrypted and ready to use for pk3DS.

Check the bottom of this post to get the latest pk3DS https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/34377-pk3ds-xy-oras-rom-editor-and-randomizer/

Also disable the GDB Stub, that’s only meant for developers.
And I would recomment to enable Accurate Multiplication. Else you might run into a bug with the Disk Shader Cache where Citra would use more and more RAM until it crashes.

Just making these changes got it to work, but there are a lot of freezes happening and with the log open there are a lot of recurring errors:
