again thanks for the reply
yes its a setup which i’ve had setup for a while but it was all setup from new just last year when i found your great work. i tried a bit ago today with just loading the content in fresh unpacked files but it still crashes, will unpack again to get log file as i didn’t get one thanks again
I have some concerns about this line of the log.
Failed to open G:\Emulators\RetroArch\saves/Citra/sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/00000000000000000000000000000000/00000000000000000000000000000000/title/0004000e/0015c000/content/00000000.app
Do you have the required files from the standalone emulator in the correct location?
i dont have anything in this location in RA folder but do in standalone
That is the issue then. There is a setup guide on libretro but I would just Google about setting up Citra on RetroArch. I usually just copy the whole standalone folder into the correct location. For certain games there are other steps to take so finding some kind of complete guide helps a lot.
ok will try to find some sort of guide, thanks a bunch for the help again
You are welcome. We can chat some in private if you need, when I am back on my PC.
ok i will let you know how i get on, thanks ever so much
Hey again, so i started again with the required files from citra and heres what i’ve done. dumped the files from my 3ds, placed in citra standalone in the correct place. Games work fine. placed files in the saves/citra folder in RA but games still crash before they start. have tried my RA and new install of RA both do the exact same thing. not sure what else to try. not sure if its amd gpu problem. have tried using glcore, gl and vulkan drivers in RA but all crash at the same place.
Can we see a new log?

sorry that took so long, trying to post a log here is messy lol
I think it may be an OpenGL driver issue, I found a few conversations about it and the core forces a switch to glcore.
There have been recent developments on OpenGL in the AMD drivers. Have you tried to update your GPU drivers?
Strangely, I deleted any system or saves Citra folder and most games will still run. How many roms have you tried?
thanks again for the reply,
i have the newest drivers except 1, i find if i update to .2 on any set of drivers i have a lot of trouble with RA. so i try to just update to new ones i.e. 22.11.1 - next update for me will be 22.12.1.
every game i have tried works fine in citra but not in core, i have tried many.
I have tried to alter the opt file in RA config path and i have found if i turn off
citra_use_hw_renderer = “disabled”
then this allows all the games to load but with software renderer its a very slow 
not sure why this would be the case, not sure what to interpret this as, only thing i can think is citra core is buggered on AMD GPU’s ?
AMD GPUs are not supported. Please revert to the CPU Renderer in Emulation - Configure - Graphics.
also found this on citra website referring to citra crashing and wondered if there was a cpu renderer in citra core but can’t find any info on the libretro wiki on citra commands
This is the CPU renderer. So looks like we found our answer. 
Hopefully some improvements will be made soon.
ok, yes i do hope so, thanks for your time and help and as always thanks for all the good work that you do 
So…
I just finished up adding some roms, RA, the Mega Bezel, and my pack to my sons computer (Which is 900 miles away.)
I tried the DOSBox Pure core for the first time and I have to say I’m fairly impressed. Games that run dismally slow on the SVN run perfectly on Pure and the controls (Although weirdly mapped.) work OTB.
That is cool! 
The Duimon-Mega-Bezel repo and release are updated to v1.0.0.7.
The Potato repo is unchanged.
Changes:
The link to the current releases are in the first post. Installation/Update instructions are near the end of the second.
Hi dude, well if you do start sharing stuff with the consent, which I feel you have gotten, then I’ll take a look for sure. Saw your Cave variant on page 3945, looks slick as hell.
I also want to say that now that I’ve actually been using your shaders for some time, Duimon (and HSM), it really strikes me as extraordinary work. I knew it from when I was merely reading this thread, but thanks to my new pc and my ability to actually use them, it’s become really apparent how awesome they are. When I’m importing a new emu into Launchbox and it doesn’t have a Retroarch core, it hurts.
So thanks. Gonna do the C64 one in a moment. Incidentally, if anyone has some quick tips for using vice core and adding gamepad support, that would be helpful as I seem to recall from past attempts it wasn’t so easy as you needed to fiddle with a virtual keyboard and such…
So I think the Potato are done.
I will be spending some time today loading every non CRT version just to make sure.
While I was messing around I decided to do some simple 21x9 overlays, for users that have such a display but are forced to use the potato. (The overlays cover just the black bars on the sides.)
Overlay.
Using Canvas_Overlay_21x9.
Canvas_Overlay_No_Shadow_21x9.
While not a perfect solution, they are better than no option at all.
There will be Carbon and Canvas versions, with and without a drop shadow, in my Backgrounds folder.
So I have spent the most of today diving into the potato presets. I found a few monitor presets that still needed to be rendered. Including this one.
The VGA Monochrome SM124 that I created but never released.
Also, I have been going through presets that don’t use a 1.33 aspect and defining an explicit aspect. I did this for all my new handhelds but never went back and did the old ones. Forcing the aspect will keep things from breaking in some situations. (And cause me a lot less pain overall.)
While I was at it I fired up the Vectrex Potato.
I would like to thank @HyperspaceMadness for the recent Potato enhancements. The Vectrex potato have never looked better. 
OK then… the Potato presets are done. 
While I was digging I discovered that my ambient clipping fixes for the Mega Duck and Supervision were insufficient.
I have updated the legacy presets and pushed the changes to the repo. I will do a release tomorrow.
I will also post a list of guides I plan on doing to get some user feedback.
Most of the guides will involve my new presets but I plan on doing some basic Mega Bezel guides as well.
Now is the time for some final feedback on bugs in the legacy presets. I will fix any bugs found while I work on the guides but after the new presets are released the legacy will no longer be updated in any way.
This is starting to get exciting!
