Arch Linux User Repository

Thank you @Revnoplex for pointing that out, I am using the archive.org mirror of the latest release since PabloMK7 seems to have nuked his repo and releases for no reason.

I would recommend users to use azahar-appimage instead as there won't be newer Citra releases.

PKGBUILD now fails as of 26/3/2025 due to dead upstream.

This causes the extraction of the upstream tarball to fail resulting in an error when trying to change into the sub directory that was never created:

citra-appimage/PKGBUILD: line 45: cd: citra-linux-appimage-20240927-608383e: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

The upstream tarball only contains one file called README.txt which contains

Hello! PabloMK7 here.

If you are reading this, it means you have tried to download my fork of Citra, or clicked the download button on the citra-emulator.com webpage.
In either case, this Citra fork is no longer maintained and you should switch to the Azahar Emulator (https://azahar-emu.org) where development continues.

Keep in mind that citra-emulator.com IS A FAKE WEBSITE AND NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY REAL DEVELOPER, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER CLAIMING TO BE CITRA OR AZAHAR.
The ONLY real website for Azahar is azahar-emu.org

Thank you

This package will automatically download the latest available Citra version, it's not outdated to May 2024.

Sorry for the confusion, launching it from the terminal works as supposed. With the message on Wayland, without on Xorg. However launching it from the application menu doesn't work at all. If I download the appimage from another source, I can launch it from the file manager. The other source is this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20240304192757/https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases/tag/nightly-2104

I also uninstalled it and installed it again. Then I did the same to yuzu-appimage and realized that when downloading citra-appimage it is written: ==> Validating source files with b2sums... citra-linux-appimage-20240516-64e3e9f.tar.gz ... Skipped citra.desktop ... Passed

but installing yuzu-appimage shows: ==> Validating source files with b2sums... yuzu-mainline-20240304-537296095.AppImage ... Passed yuzu.desktop ... Passed yuzu.svg ... Passed

I do not know if "citra-linux-appimage-20240516-64e3e9f.tar.gz ... Skipped" is the problem, because of the citra one being skipped and the yuzu one being passed.

I am using Manjaro KDE and downloaded it using yay and tried pamac and pamac-gtk too. Perhaps the new update to Plasma 6 broke something, I am not sure. It would be helpful to know if someone has the same issue.

@linuxarch Unfortunately I cannot reproduce your issue, for me it opens normally. If I launch citra-qt from terminal, I also get that message, but the app opens anyway.

Can't launch it, downloading the appimage from another source and launching it is not an issue. Also yuzu-appimage works without problems. Launching it from the terminal works but it is written "qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in"

@Tortillas-IT fixed, thank you for the report!

Can't install this package: on my machine i have installed "yuzu-early-access-appimage" and for some reason this package is in conflict with that package.

I see the conflict is reported in this page, too

@haxz5rxwi why not?

@BrianAllred you should have devtools in your system/chroot before installing an AUR package. It depends on curl, awk and jq, so it will solve your issue
