I planned to TAS the game "Super Mario 3D Land," but I don't know about how the speed, graphics, and save states were. I think while recording the movie, 100% speed is lower than full frames. I think 30 fps as 100% speed is a great idea. Also, the save states were difficult, when I save it, I press ctrl+c and when I load it, I press ctrl+v instead of I and P respectively.
Thanks! I'll start working on the newly found desyncs tomorrow.
I saw that there was a new version you participated in, what's new in it so far?
It would also be good to have hotkeys to save and load the current savestate, in addition to being able to save savestates by name outside of the 10 basic slots provided (as in Bizhawk).
A function that would also be great is to be able to choose precisely which frame to stop at when replaying a .ctm (movie) file.

Meanwhile, could you please test more of the previously desyncing games? Thank you in advance.
I updated my list in my previous post, (Azure Striker Gunvolt SP & 2, Metroid: Samus Returns, ZARA the Fastest Fairy, Luigi's Mansion 1, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, DKC Returns, etc) and I will continue the tests in the next few days because this week I have some time, normally.
Thank you once again for your amazing work zhupengfei!
I still dont get my new internet connection yet, in two months :/ Italy...
So, do you can test Monster Hunter XX (Generations Ultimate in USA) for me?
Monster Hunter XX (JP with ENG translation v.4) Citra crash at start (log file: https://pastebin.com/Bqd9rV3R)
Monster Hunter Generations desync ctm file in my folder as usual.
Driver renegade was the game in question. The input breaks before you can complete a single mission. I think before an alleyway it breaks
I did a quick test (~9m) and the game (just a decrypted rom, not ThreeSD) syncs without any problem.
You can find the .ctm file in the folder indicated in my previous post.

Bizhawk keeps freezing on me! Anybody know why? http://www.mediafire.com/view/pi98mruhcp38gar/jEebzrYFRt.mp4 I am trying to boot a game of Pokemon Stadium 2. I would really like to use the debugging features since I can't find tools elsewhere.
I think it's a problem of video plugin and core type. (Have you tried Rice, Glide64, GlideN64, Glide64mk2 with diferent settings?, Glide64mk2 is supposed to be the best, (I think I read that), but for many games it just doesn't work properly (We have to hope for projects like CEN64 or better plugins coming soon.)
In Config profile are you in "N64 TAS"?
In Config -> Display are you in OpenGL? (best for N64 and Saturn)
Have you had any issues with input breaking after a while? As in, inputs stop being registered in the game?
The problem being that I'm mostly doing short tests at the moment, no, I haven't had those kinds of problems, and I haven't had those problems at all in the few tests I've done that were almost an hour away.
Hopefully I'll have time to test the games a little longer in the next few days.
Do you have any specific examples?
The problem also with the fact of being able to record only in FFV1 (for lossless) is that this format is very heavy, we quickly have dozens, even hundreds of GB for a few minutes of gameplay, which would be much more affordable with Camstudio or Lagarith, for lossless codecs.
In fact, I've only been able to record a video with a correct quality with mp4 or another lossy codec.
Coming back to your problem, maybe it's because some games don't have the same framerate (30, 60 or less) between the game and the cutscenes and Citra doesn't really know how fast to render the game and goes at too high speed and therefore misses some inputs?
Try copying the entire Citra User directory including nand, sysdata, etc. Those folders allow Citra to decrypt the games, among other things.
Also the canary build I was referring to is already out.
It worked, thanks!
Yes, I have downloaded the latest version, so I will make a new list with my tests.
I created a new folder "2021 - Canary 1946" as the version number of the new release, there is also a "ThreeSD" folder inside to dissociate the movies recorded on a game version dumped from my 3DS or not.
Majora's Mask & Resident Evil Revelations (ThreeSD) use Citra promp window for name entry
For games like Kid Icarus, it would be great to have a "Virtual Pad", like in Bizhawk.
And zhupengfei is it possible to have a native solution for "larger sceen" to choose % of the botoom screen? I think of 2x the actual size, but having more solutions is good too. And can choose if the "botton screen" is bottom, middle or top, natively... The actual size is way too small.

I have to try to transfer my games dumped with ThreeSD from my laptop if it still works in the next few days.
I was able to do it today, but most of the games ("app") are not recognized and Citra tells me they are encrypted and indicate an "invalid region", while on my laptop I have no problem with games dumped from my 3DS with ThreeSD.
(I copied and pasted the folder from my laptop into the folder on my desktop PC in sdmc -> Nintendo 3DS)
For the next tests, I will update the list in the post above, until the next Citra Canary release.
-implementation of Lagarith and/or Camstudio lossless codecs
option to dump the video and the audio in separate files
- Not sure why these would be useful?
To answer these questions, Lagarith and Camstudio are lossless codecs and are much lighter than FFV1.
And the fact that I can have a separate file between video and sound is that sometimes I have to edit the video in Adobe software, and like other software, I guess, they only recognize the video, so in some cases I have to dissociate the video and the sound before editing.
And that would also allow me to resynchronize the sound if there is a discrepancy between the video and the sound.
Putting this as an option offers a security option anyway, I don't know what other people think about that?
I have to try to transfer my games dumped with ThreeSD from my laptop if it still works in the next few days.
I will mainly try the games I had put as desync in my list to see which ones work now.
- option to save the movie at any time (like in Bizhawk again)
Implemented.
I don't seem to have seen this option, where is it?
EDIT It's "Save without exit" under Tools -> Movie menu
Mario Open Tennis asks to tilt the 3DS in front of you, is this possible with Citra?
Since Citra does not have an OSD, would it be possible to add the following information to this bar?
The fact that the game is recording or not (I still have a lot of trouble understanding how Citra works to continue a movie, often I reload a game and save with read-only mode disabled but it doesn't continue recording,), would it also be possible to display in this bar, without OSD, the keys pressed, and I still have the problem of keys not being taken into account (in some games) because the save char takes time on Citra, again, would it be possible to load saves while the emulator is paused, with an indication that this has happened?

DuckStation is an simulator/emulator of the Sony PlayStation(TM) console, focusing on playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices. "Hack" options are discouraged, the default configuration should support all playable games with only some of the enhancements having compatibility issues.
Did I miss something, I don't think it's possible to launch Ninja Spirit Game Boy on GBHawk or Gambatte?
Oops I missed this comment. What kind of error are you getting? What is the hash you have for the game? Ninja Spirit looks like a standard game it would be very unusual for it to fail in both cores.
The game just doesn't start for me, I don't have any specific errors.
I didn't check if there was something specific in the log window.
Sorry, I'm in training with certification in digital marketing, + the basic work, I have a little less time to test games on Citra, but I would normally have time to test some more soon.
I created a Youtube playlist "Citra tests" for those interested.
I put the link in my signature as well to make it easier to find it.
Of course I continue to update the list at the bottom of page three of this topic.
Regarding the fact that the keys pressed are not taken into account when loading a savestate, I think it may be related to the fact that Citra doesn't save or load savestates when the emulator is paused, so the loading of savestates is done once the pause is disabled, which takes more or less time depending on the games.
It would be nice to allow saving and loading savestates when Citra is on pause, if that's possible?
Thanks for the script Spikestuff!
I'll try Dream Team bros today or tommorow Darth Marios! On a 11m test it sync. (the movie is in my folder in my signature as usual. Would you a youtube encode?)
I'll do that zhupengfei! Done!
(if anyone have feature request, pm me so I'll update the comment)
