The summer of 2017 has just rolled in, and although we don’t have a summer of code, the patches continue rolling in regardless. We’ve got a ton of fixes this month in the renderer, so this report is going to be very screenshot heavy. With that out of the way, let’s get right to it. Implemented Procedural Texture (Texture Unit 3) by wwylele There is a rarely used feature in the 3DS’ GPU called procedural textures, “proctex” for short.

As game compatibility has broadened and the popularity of Citra has risen there’s always been a lack of consistent information on what could be played in Citra and what couldn’t. Often times the best way to find out if a game was working properly in Citra was to jump in and test it for yourself, but if any issues were encountered you’d be left scouring through forums sifting through potentially out of date information for answers.

In the last quarter, we’ve further improved the speed and accuracy of citra along with supporting more 3DS features, and we are very excited to show what we’ve been working on. It’s a bit hard to believe, but Citra is already three years old, and in these three years we’ve gone from an emulator that could barely run homebrew, to one that can run many commercially available games at playable speeds!
