  • Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.

Try updating your drivers to the latest version available: https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/graphics/amd-radeon-r5-series/amd-radeon-r5-400-series/amd-radeon-r5-m430

Continuing the discussion from Yo-Kai Watch Black Screen:

I have updated my driver, but the problem still remains, the black screen occurring at the same instance as stated above.

Let’s try seeing if the issue remains on a portable build to rule out any issues with your current Citra installation:

Go to Download Citra - Citra and select Manual download. Then under Nightly Build, click on your operating system’s icon to the right of the latest build available to download the build.
Extract it (.7z can be extracted using Winrar or 7zip) (.tar.gz can be extracted natively on MacOS) and put it where ever you wish. Inside the extracted mingw folder, create a folder called user. This Citra should now store all of its config, save files and such inside of this user folder.
Check to make sure that this user folder is in the same folder that contains citra-qt(.exe)
Now run the citra-qt executable found inside of the mingw folder and run your game once (this should create the necessary save data folders).

To move your save data over, start up your normal Citra installation and right click on your game in Citra’s game list (you may need to add a game directory for your game first for it to show up here). Then select Open Save Data Location. Copy the save data here and close the folder. Now navigate to your newly set up portable Citra’s save data location using the same method we used above. This time, paste your copied save data and replace the save data that’s present here. Now launch your game again using the portable Citra build and see if the issue remains.

Well, I set up everything, but the same error still occurred.

At this point, I’d suggest redumping your game. Please refer to our game dumping guides:

Dumping Game Cartridges
Dumping Installed Titles

Make sure your GM9 is up to date and that you have enough free storage space available on your SD-Card to perform the dump.
