So I tried running monster hunter stories on my rp4 pro at both standard and high performance settings, in both it runs slow and with major audio glitches. Any hacks I can use to make it run better?

Using the final build of citra canary

    From what I’ve seen, MHS is one of the most taxing 3DS games to emulate. It could be Citra or the game itself, but I’ve anecdotally seen people compare its performance to Xenoblade Chronicles or Luigi’s Mansion in terms of emulation benchmarks. The last time I tried MHS on Citra Canary even w/ my gaming PC , the experience was so bad that I ended up just playing on actual hardware.

    I would suggest trying:

    • Citra MMJ
    • or the android port of the game (it’s not free or emulation but it’s a good port)

      That explains why both it and xenoblade shat themselves in citra lol :c

      Can a save from the 3ds port work in android? I’ve spent ages making a good team

      I’ll try mmj

          Use this one:

          Citra_MMJ_20231222_StorageAccess.apk

          The Antutu is for certain devices that bottleneck performance unless they’re running a benchmark (scummy, I know)

          Storage access APK’s are for Android 11 and up, when Google introduced scoped storage— this made the non-storage access APK’s difficult to use because Citra couldn’t access certain directories in storage.

          RP4 is on Android 13 IIRC so this is the best APK.

      In my experience emulating stories, I did the secret den running very slow, like 5-10 fps slow with bad rendering

      Then after the short walk I got a crash
