It's probably the second worst emulator I've ever used, but considering it's the only 3DS emulator I'm sure there are reasons for that.
But seriously though, it's so laggy. The best I can get while running the only ROM I have, Pokemon Moon, is 89% speed 28fps, on continue screen. Why!? My computer must have far higher system specs than a 3DS, so why do I get such abysmal performance.
Still though, good job just making this work in the first place, developers!
How do I speed up Citra?
A few tricks I've learned that are quite easy are:.
Close all your other windows. This method will increase your FPS by at least 5 to 10..
Keep your laptop charged while playing. ... .
To actually get the FPS above 30, you need to go to Emulation -> Configure -> General and change the max framerate to about 300%..
