Same goes to 11.6. Fatal Error, Home Menu still working, unable to get the Nintendo 3DS Startup.
I don't get a Fatal Error. It boots up, then when I got to the screen in my screen shot, the app locks up and it spams the message you see in the log window in my other screen shot.

Kumoashi : I think I've found the problem of memory spam.
Have you set the correct region in settings on Citra ?
I remember by default it's "auto-select" and if you change to "USA" or "EUR", the Home Menu works without memory spam normally.

I hope I help you to fix this problem :)

Yes, that fixed the problem. Thank you for the help. :D

It even seems to have the last official theme I had used.
Edit: Hopefully, one day we will be able to launch games from the home menu on Citra, similar to the way we do it with the Dolphin emulator.

I wonder. Where can I locate Themes? Is it on NAND or on extdata from the SD Card?

All I did was dump and install all of the cias that you told me to get. So the theme, as well as all the things like number of steps an coins, must have come from when I dumped everything else much earlier.
It's been awhile since I did it, but I think I was using these tutorials at the time, and I just dumped everything, even if it was claimed to not be used by Citra.
https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-save-data-from-a-3ds-console
https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-extra-data-from-a-3ds-console
https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-system-archives-and-the-shared-fonts-from-a-3ds-console
https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-config-savegame-from-a-3ds-console

I then used a website that told me how the folder structure on the 3DS was laid out, and tried my best to match that to the folder structure for Citra's User folder. I don't remember which website it was, but the layout for some of the dumped folders don't match exactly, so you have to work out where Citra expects the files to be.

It's not as hard as it sounds, however since I don't remember exactly what I did, I can't really be much more help with this. Still, I hope this helps lead you in the right direction.

Edit: As I said, make sure you dump everything, and put it in all the correct folders for Citra, and it should work. You will also need a dump of your save and extra data for each of the system apps and games that use Miis if you want your Mii characters to show up correctly.

Hmm. BTW. Turns out that I've been using a different 3DS to dump themes the whole time. I tested and Pokemon Silver Theme works!
I have like 2 3DS systems, 3DSXL and n2DSXL and I don't usually use my 2DS to dump stuff.

Well, I got it to load, but this is as far as I can get before it locks up.

Well, at least the extra files from it, make the system apps work right, and maybe will help with running games later on in the future.
Same goes to 11.6. Fatal Error, Home Menu still working, unable to get the Nintendo 3DS Startup.

Install some of these into the SDHC also, Strangely it will prevent the error that way, and then icons no longer freeze on loading them

On 11.6.0.39 firmware that is!

Maybe we could narrow this combination down... some how.

My 3DS didn't have these files
000400300000D002 (CTR-N-HKYP)
000400300000D102 (CTR-N-HMSP)
000400300000D302 (CTR-N-HCCP)
000400300000D402 (CTR-N-HMCP)
000400300000D602 MINT (CTR-N-HAAP) (W)
000400302000C503 (CTR-N-HEEA)
000400302000D003 (CTR-N-HKYP)
0004001000022A00 (CTR-N-HCBP) (E)
0004001000022F00 (CTR-N-HSHP)
so I can't dump them for Citra. This also means I can't put them in the Virtual SD card for Citra either.

I copied the rest of the files that you listed, however It doesn't change how Citra behaves when loading the Home Menu.
You have one file labeled (E). Are you using an Eur Region 3DS? If so, that might be why I don't have most of those files.

The 3DS port of DKC Returns runs at half the framerate of the Wii version (and dips below even 30fps at times). It has some other visual downgrades to the textures and lighting as well. You're better off running the Wii version in Dolphin.

Dolphin even has a stereoscopic 3D setting in the graphics options if you have a 3D display of some sort. And it is fairly robust, you can increase or decrease the depth and pop-out effects to your liking. I tried it out on a 3D projector with glasses and it seemed to work quite well. You can map the shake controls to a button as well. Unless you REALLY insist on the couple of extra bonus levels in the 3DS version, i see no reason to bother.

Thanks for the info. Isn't the 3DS version different from the Wii version though?

Not sure what you mean by "different", but they're the same game. Pretty much the textbook definition of a direct port, same levels but with some moderate reductions to the framerate, textures and lighting (as is the case with many handheld ports). They added easy mode options to provide extra hit points, and the ability to store a DK barrel to use at any time (like what some Mario games allow for powerups). But you can see yourself that the two are effectively the same game-


3DS added stereo 3D of course, but as I said Dolphin has support for stereo 3D if you have the proper display. Shake mechanics (rolling, ground pound and blowing) were also mapped to buttons, but Dolphin also supports mapping these to buttons (you could even do this on an original Wii via cheat codes IIRC).

The only change that gives the 3DS version an arguable edge is the inclusion of 8 new levels added to the post-game. But these levels weren't designed by the original developers (Retro Studios) and it shows IMHO. Retro is IMO a much more creative and talented team than the people who ported the game to 3DS and designed the new levels (Monster Games). The new levels recycle the visuals from previous worlds, and IMO aren't as fun than the others, you can see them here-


I would personally stick with the Wii version via Dolphin. Unless the new levels outweigh the downgrades. You'll have to wait for Citra to improve either way. Or perhaps someone will eventually romhack the Wii version and add the new levels...

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
