In order to run your games, _Citra_ requires that you dump your games, game updates, DLC and other 3DS system files from a [hacked 3DS](https://3ds.hacks.guide/). This is the only legal way to obtain these files for use in _Citra_. Any other method of obtaining these files is considered piracy and therefore illegal.

_Citra_ can, ostensibly, "play" many different games now and more will become playable as development progress further. Some games/apps, however, will not load at all – only showing a black screen. Others might only show the title screen and then freeze or crash. _Citra_ can, ostensibly, "play" many different games now and more will become playable as development progress further.

This is a bug that occurs when Custom Textures are used in conjunction with a Texture Filter. You can disable the **Texture Filter** in `Emulation -> Configuration (Citra -> Preferences on MacOS) -> Graphics`. Make sure to restart your game after disabling the option.

#### How to fix "Array Size too short" error? #### How to fix "Array Size too short" error?
This error occurs when attempting to load a Save State on a _Citra_ version that is different from the one that it was created on. Save States aren't compatible between different _Citra_ versions or even different _Citra_ installations. It is therefore always recommended to use your in-game save files most of all for recording your progress, and to only use Save States within single gaming sessions.

It is therefore always recommended to use your in-game save files most of all for recording your progress, and to only use Save States within single gaming sessions.
If you really need to recover the progress of a particular Save State and you've run into this error, you'll need to find the _Citra_ version you created the Save State on and load it there. Then you can save in-game and continue on the newer _Citra_ version. If you don't know which _Citra_ version you saved the state on, check the [log file](https://community.citra-emu.org/t/how-to-upload-the-log-file/296). It should detect whether a Save State was made on a different _Citra_ version and tell you the commit hash of that version.

First, if you've downloaded any DLL files from the Internet and placed them in the _Citra_ or a system folder, *remove them first*, they will not solve your problem and may cause system instability. Then download and install the *x64* variant (vc_redist.x64.exe) of [Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572) from _Microsoft_. If that doesn't help, ensure you have also extracted the DLL files that come included with the _Citra_ builds and that they are in the same directory as the executable.
