Error Message With Nintendo 3ds

When I run Citra from my desktop everything is fine. I can play all my Nintendo 3ds Games
However if I run them from mGalaxy I get an error message
"Your ROM Format is not supported." Please follow your guide to redump your game cartridges.
Don't understand why it works from the desk top, but not through mGalaxy
Anybody have this issue, and what did you do to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi Rob,
Make sure, in mGalaxy_Runway, that the emulator choice is 'citra-qt.exe', not 'citra.exe' (then of course set the application path to 'citra-qt.exe')
You won't get any more error messages...but it is possible that the games don't launch in full screen!
To solve this new problem, you must:
Start citra-qt.exe > 'view' menu > check 'Full screen' OR press 'F11' on keyboard.
This setting will be saved one for all!

I did that. As a matter of fact I tried every combination of emulator, and option, and the best I can get is this error message. Most of them won't even launch for me.
The only one that will launch is the combination you give me, and I get that message.
But i will keep trying.
Thank you for the advice.

Rob,
The problem has been identified and a solution found (and integrated in the next version of mGalaxy).
In the meantime you can use this tip:
- Open mGalaxy > Data > Definition > Emulators.xml file with a text editor
- Do a search on <Emulator name="Citra" hidden="false">, to localize the block of code
- Just below, edit this line

Code: Select all

<System name="Nintendo 3DS" option="citra-qt.exe" script="true" cmd=""%path\%file%ext"" extensions=".3ds,.cci,.cxi"/>
to this

Code: Select all

<System name="Nintendo 3DS" option="citra-qt.exe" script="true" cmd=" "%path\%file%ext"" extensions=".3ds,.cci,.cxi"/>
(the difference being a space added before the first """)
