### Dates ### Citra Version
All data must be collected from the latest official Citra nightly, downloaded from [here](https://citra-emu.org/download/).
### Dates
All dates follow the format `<4-Digit Year>-<2-Digit Month>-<2-Digit Day>`. For example, June 3rd 2017 would be "2017-06-03". All dates follow the format `<4-Digit Year>-<2-Digit Month>-<2-Digit Day>`. For example, June 3rd 2017 would be "2017-06-03".
### Title IDs ### 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.
### Screenshots
The recommended application for capturing the icon, boxart, and screenshots is [ShareX](https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX). Screenshots can not be compressed, and must be in the PNG format.
### Title IDs
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`.
