Currently, servers created in Citra can hold up to 16 players. High player counts should be avoided for now due to bandwidth issues. In this initial release, each connected Citra instance sends raw packets to the host (or server) and the server then forwards those packets to every single client. As such, with each player added, the bandwidth requirements increase greatly.

_Super Smash Brother's_ local wireless play works perfectly in Citra for up to four players. Because the game expects all players to be running in lockstep, users will need to maintain similar framerates for a stable connection.

There is a rarely used feature in the 3DS' GPU called procedural textures, "proctex" for short. It allows games to generate new textures on the fly by just plugging in a few parameters. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and Kirby: Planet Robobot both use it to generate realistic sea surfaces. The formula behind proctex had to be reverse-engineered in order to be implemented, which fortunately [fincs](https://github.com/fincs) did [and documented](https://gist.github.com/fincs/543f7e1375815f495f10020a053f14e9). Using this documentation, [wwylele](https://github.com/wwylele) simply translated it into code, and dropped it into Citra, fixing both those games.

As a workaround, some offsets were set on the table in OpenGL so that it would pick the correct entries. But, the LUT on the 3DS also has a mode called "two's complement" in which each half of the table is "wrapped" virtually across past the beginning and end of the table, but not across the middle of the table. This completely messes up the table in OpenGL, leading to completely different results near the middle of the table, causing things like dark spots in highlighted areas.

The video code was very interconnected using this interface, so despite people being aware of this, it was also extremely difficult to move code around and reorganize it, as it could very easily affect unrelated bits of code that depended on it. This was only compounded by the hardware renderer, as it was written much like earlier, slowly adding hardware support bit-by-bit to separate parts of the video code, simply falling back into the software renderer when disabled or not supported.
