I'm having issues getting Launchbox to work with Citron.

[Dargor]

I've recently installed the Citron emulator, but I'm encountering an issue with launching games. The emulator opens correctly, but the selected ROMs fail to start automatically. I'm forced to manually initiate the game after the emulator's frontend is up. Can anyone provide troubleshooting advice?

Looks like it might be a port of Yuzu.  Try adding -f -g to the Default Command-Line Parameters.

I am facing the same issue. Adding the -f-g command did not solve it.

Did you add it as you typed it? Or put a space after the f (as shown)?  {dash}f{space}{dash}g

I am facing this issue as well. -f -g is not working. Does anyone have another fix?

To best help, can you share some screenshots?

In LaunchBox, edit your Citron emulator and share a screenshot of:

1. The main Details section
2. The Associated Platforms section

Eidt one of its games and share a screenshot of:

1. The Metadata section
2. The Launching section
3. The Emulation section

Edit emulator. Un-check Remove space...

Thanks!, that works!, now i have to figure out how to get it to full screen. I get a black screen now but when i hover over Citron on my task bar, i can see the game has loaded but it's in a window. I'll do some research on that. Thanks again for the help!

Glad that worked.

Edit emulator. Add -f -g (that's dash f space dash g)  to the default Command-line Parameters.

Good news is that it is full screen. The bad news is that i still get the black screen but if i scroll over to Citron on my taskbar, i can the game in full screen. Odd as i didn't have this issue with Yuzu or Ryujinx.

A couple things you can try:

 

If that don't work, try disabling the startup screen and see if that fixes it.

If that fixes it and you want your startup screens, reenable it and try one or the other [or last resort] both of these.

I cannot thank you enough!, it was the startup screen! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to report a strange issue I'm experiencing with the latest version of Citron, 0.12.25.
If I launch the emulator normally (without any frontend), everything works perfectly.
The problem appears when I run it through LaunchBox: the emulator starts, goes fullscreen, all the settings are correct as described in the previous post… but the game always freezes during the loading phase.
To avoid any doubt, I ran a few more tests:
•     if I launch Citron without LaunchBox, no issues at all;
•     if I launch it from the command line (cmd), I get the exact same freeze;
•     if I reinstall the previous version of the emulator, everything works again.
At this point it really seems like something introduced in version 0.12.25, unless it's happening only to me.
Has anyone else run into the same problem or has an idea of what might be causing it?
Thanks in advance!

Since it (0.12.25) was just released about 14 hours ago, you may want to inquire on their Git Issues page.  Specifically, about running it from the command prompt.  Once it can be ran successfully from it, there should be no issues getting it to run via LaunchBox.
