Hello @SachinVin Here is one of the major problems in this Emulator...

Video for the actual problem is here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxmv6-3W-GQ

Smartphones with these processors can't run any game at all, it seems not a single non snapdragon device can run any game. Did you used Snapdragon device to build up and test this emu?
So far only Snapdragon processors can run this emulator with games.
Most of Snapdragon processors can run the emulator with games and everything.
BUT other processors can't, they can install the emulator, I can access the emulator, browse the games, but as soon as you tap any game, emulator will close the game in 2 seconds, no bootup nothing, black screen....
I tested MALI GPUS, it might be that some gpu drivers are missing or outdated.
I tested flagship phones and budget phones...
Tested Exynos phones myself, emulator crashes.
Tested Mediatek phones, emulator crashes.
Tested Kirin phones, emulator crashes.
No body so far reported that this emulator runs on these processors, only reports for Snapdragon SOC.
Please let me know why its that?
Is because of lack of GPU drivers which only snapdragon processors have? or?

I have an exynos phone, I will give it a go. I just have to switch back to a more stable os first. (Currently using an experimental version of lineage that has outdated opengles drivers).

I also ran into this problem and wanted the developer to optimize support for the kirin processor！

Exynos processors are shit for emulation, use Qualcomm.

@Jack-Rickwood

@Cyuubi The emulator cant support just Qualcomm, there are so many other CPUs out there. Anyway it's not Exynos that's the problem, it's the Mali GPU. And the Mali GPU isn't even much of a problem anymore for newer phones. Pretty much any phone with pie and some with oreo should have similar performance in emulators (maybe slightly worse), than their Qualcomm variants.

Yep, crashes. Heres my log: citra_log[1].txt

@Jack-Rickwood API Error 50 opengl renderer.. please some1 explain why... gpu drivers issue?

Looks like the Mali GPU drivers don't support the 'GL_EXT_clip_cull_distance'.
I'm not an expert at GLES . But I'll see if there is a work around or a fix.

@SachinVin Thx a lot man. Great work your doing.

@Paraskevidis The newest Exynos processor actually got better benchmarks than the newest Snapdragon, the drivers are whats the problem.

@SachinVin

one thing my phone is samsung galaxy s9 Samsung Exynos 9810, 10 nm, 64 bits, octa-core 4 gb ram so that we have that processor can not play so we want to wait for the developer to fix it or make a citra update for to be able to play with those processors I hope that I fix it because the people's midday have the same processor that mine thanks and I wait for your answer

@ricardojackson

hi fix if you can soon the citra emulator because in my samsung galaxy s9 mobile I can not play and there are many people who have that processor I hope your answer thanks SachinVin

@ricardojackson

then it has high-end phones like the s9 and others that can not play the emulator if the developer can get it for all the processors if they insist it will get it look at the ps2 emulator is bigger and my s9 is running

@SachinVin hello friend. some people mamaged to run Smash bros and Mario kart 7 with some special files added. can you explain which files and how they managed to do that?
link video here-

But i have a little problem in order to run Super Smash Bros: it requires additional files of the System Archive. There is a guide (https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-system-archives-and-the-shared-fonts-from-a-3ds-console/) in order to dump them from the console but i don't want to hack it. 
So I downoaded the file shared_font.bin and i put it in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Citra\sysdata, but i still have the message error. 

So i need additional files and I found on google a package with the folder “user” and inside there are 4 folders:

config: empty (but I still have my own config file)

nand: 2 folders: data and 00000000000000000000000000000000

sdmc: it include the folder Nintendo 3DS, but i still have it im my sdms folder

sysdata: it includes the shared_font.bin file but i still have it

So, where can i find the files needed by Smash Bros in the nand or/and sdms folder?

You guys can change use_hw_renderer ( in config.ini file ) to 0 if you want to run Games with Kirin/exinos/mediatek chipsets.
After that change, emulator Uses Software renderer instead of OpenGL Renderer thus there's no Driver Problems. HOWEVER, It's really slower than OpenGL ( hw ) renderer.

What about with the new renderer in the developer options?

Am not very hypt we shouldn't expect much because one there is only one dev and it does only work on snapdragon not on any other processor in Europe Samsung sells only exynos processors

@add119 can just shut up we all know its in alpha if we all stop posting shit issue tracker like it doesnt work bla bla and if poeple read the readme they should know on what it will work then there will more time for the dev and stop posting about snapdragon shit we all know it works best on snapdragon but there are countys that dont ship with snapdragon in there phone like the netherlands only brand that ships a low and snapdragon is nokia so if we all stop posting shit that isnt importend then the dev have more time .......

I mean, since people are having issues with the emulator, you could just make the apk compatible for different varieties of OS, it may take awhile but may be worth some trouble honestly. Just make it in the files say something like

If (Citras Android OpenGL version used to run the emulator == "false")
{
//Requirements to run Citra Android change to a compatible and capable formart for which ever chip set/GPU the phone uses
}

If (Citras Android OpenGL version used to run the emulator == "true")
{
//Stays the same
}

Else (Something went wrong between the two if statments)
{
//Log and or display errors
}

I'm using Honor play smartphone, this phone uses kirin 970 and I can't play it if I don't use the hardware render in the citra settings. If I toggle it on I can run the game which is (pokemon Y) but it will run at 10 - 19 FPS. If I toggle it off, it will just show a black screen for 2 seconds and crash back to the app screen.

Hello everyone, so I have a Samsung Galaxy note 9, and when I play pokemon x, the game becomes slow, hyper slow, I would like to know if it's normal because I'm under exynos, or there is a problem ? thank you

@streum77 that's normal. You'll have the best performance with the build linked below, but sadly that processor will make it difficult to find playable games.

https://github.com/weihuoya/citra

You should give Metroid: Samus Returns a try with the above build. That's your best shot.

@streum77
Copy link

@ streum77 c'est normal. Vous obtiendrez les meilleures performances avec la construction ci-dessous, mais malheureusement, ce processeur rendra difficile la recherche de jeux jouables.

https://github.com/weihuoya/citra

Vous devriez essayer Metroid: Samus Returns avec la version ci-dessus. C'est ton meilleur coup.

Ok thank you bro
