My emulation of the Pokémon overworld has ever-present triangle flickering and sometimes visible outlines of triangles of graphics underneath during battles. It doesn’t matter if I enable all advanced graphic settings or only hardware rendering.
In my next post, I’ll upload the log for the second issue. This one is for the triangle flickering.

In order for us to provide better support, we need to see the log generated by Citra. This guide will walk you through how you can obtain the log file: How to Upload the Log File.

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.
Here’s the log for the second issue, “outlines of hidden graphics”. I watched the error logs, and when these outlines showed, the last lines of the log at the time were 391, 493, and 842.
I should mention that I tried out Citra thanks to Force OpenGL3.3 on Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Windows) - Tutorials - Citra Community. I also attached the output of glxinfo. It reports Max compat profile version: 3.0. Although the OP of the linked thread doesn’t mention the version of OpenGL reported by Linux, it does suggest that it works without workarounds. Mine also works without workarounds. Forcing OpenGL 3.3 through an environment variable (MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3, the minimum required version as mentioned in the Citra FAQ) results in no visible changes to the reported problems.

Increasing the internal resolution helps. But anything other than native drops my speed below 100%. Here’s a comparison of native, 2x, and 4x, respectively.
Also, the outline cheat doesn’t help in Pokémon Amie.
That’s very strange as that would basically put Citra in software renderer mode. If things break whilst using that, there might be a bigger problem with either your system or the AUR build.
Since we aren’t the ones maintaining the AUR build (it’s an unofficial build), please install our official flatpack build from our site and see if you’re getting the same errors.
Thank you for your support. Your suggestions led me to try out Citra on Linux Mint 20.0 live. It works like a charm. Now I just need to figure out what’s missing on my Arch Linux to make it right.
Although it runs the Pokédex at 25 fps, as opposed to 7 fps.
Downgrading the mesa, or using Linux Mint’s i965 driver in place of Arch Linux’s, doesn’t change anything. I’m trying to find the compile flags Debian uses to compile mesa and try my luck with that.
