Contributions to the Citra Games Wiki are welcomed, as keeping all of the data up to date and accurate is a community effort. There are 2 parts to the Wiki:
Title IDs can be found near the top of a log when running a game. For example, this is what it looks like for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 0004000000033500: `[ 0.019882] Loader <Info> core/loader/ncch.cpp:Load:340: Program ID: 0004000000033500`.
### TOML
In this repo, DAT files follow the [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) syntax, where each line consists of the creation of a peice of data. The simplest form of this is assigning a value to a key (`<Key> = <Value>`). The data types used for these `Value`s in this wiki are:
- Booleans, true or false (Example: `true`.)
- Integers, numbers (Example: `5`.)
- Strings, characters with surrounding quotes (Example: `"Hi!"`.)
- Arrays, collection of booleans, integers, or strings (Example for an array of integers: `[33, 2398, 234]`.)
These key/value pairs can be grouped together using an array of tables (Example: `[[ Stuff ]]`, with the pairs on the next lines.). These can be used more than once in a TOML file.
### GitHub Issues
Game issues can be found [here](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/issues). The ID of the issue can be found at the end of the URL. For example, [SNES Virtual Console Games - Crash on Boot](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/issues/2782)'s ID is 2782.
The recommended application for capturing the icon, boxart, and screenshots is [ShareX](https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX). Screenshots can not be compressed.
The code consists of the actual files in the Github repisitory. To modify them, you have to fork this repo, make your changes, and send a pull request.
At the root, there's a folder for each game. The names of these folders should follow these specifications:
-`description` (String): Get these from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_3DS_games). Short, 1-2 line description of the game.
-`game_type` (String): Whether the game has a retail release, `"3ds"`, is an E-Shop **exclusive**, `"eshop"`, a Virtual Console game, `"vc"`, or DSiWare, `"dsi"`.
-`compatibility` (String): How well the game works in Citra. A reference can be found [here](https://citra-emu.org/game/), with `Won't Boot` being `"5"`, and `Perfect` being `"0"`.
An example of a game metadata file is the one for [The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/Legend-of-Zelda-Majoras-Mask/game.dat):
description = "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is an action-adventure video game co-developed by Grezzo and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. The game is an enhanced remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which was originally released for the Nintendo 64 home console in 2000. The game was released worldwide in February 2015"
- Increase the window size of Citra to fill most of your monitor.
- Screenshot the title screen, which should only be the top screen.
- Downsize it to approximately `500x300` using [PicResize](http://www.picresize.com/).
- Compress it using [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/).
- Examples are [Legend of Zelda](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/Virtual-Console-Legend-of-Zelda/boxart.png) and [Tetris](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/Virtual-Console-Tetris/boxart.png)
The required process for getting virtual console boxart is:
- Downsize it to approximately `328x300` using [PicResize](http://www.picresize.com/).
- Compress it using [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/).
- Examples are [Legend of Zelda](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/Virtual-Console-Legend-of-Zelda/boxart.png) and [Tetris](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/Virtual-Console-Tetris/boxart.png)
The screenshots for the game are located in `/<Game Name>/screenshots/` (See: [Screenshots](#screenshots). Screenshots **must** follow these specifications:
- Black background (For the blank space left and right of the bottom screen.). To achieve this, go to the [User Directory](https://citra-emu.org/wiki/user-directory/), and from there navigate to the `config` directory. Open qt-config.ini with a text editor, and set bg_blue, bg_green, and bg_red to 0.
- Make sure the ROM for the game is in your Citra game directory.
- Right click on the game and click `Open Save Data Location`. This should open a folder named `data`.
- Note the folder that the `data` folder is in. This is the low Title ID. As an example, the low Title ID for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is `00033500`.
- The folder that the low Title ID folder is in should be named `00040000`, the high Title ID.
- Copy the high title ID folder elsewhere.
- Delete everything from the high title ID folder except for the low Title ID folder.
The wiki contains info about specific game problems, and can be modified by anyone. They use [Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) formatting.
Each page's title should match the game's respective folder in the code section, except with hyphens in the code changed to spaces on the wiki.
Mario Kart 7 has some problems in Citra. Graphically, the game suffers from minor issues, but requires decent hardware to obtain near full speed. It suffers from minor audio issues at times, but this does not hinder gameplay in any way. You may experience random crashes, slow down, and may need to transfer save files from Citra to your 3DS to complete certain tracks.
