### yuzu Version
All data must be collected from the latest official yuzu nightly, downloaded from [here](https://citra-emu.org/download/).
All data must be collected from the latest official yuzu nightly, downloaded from [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/).
### Dates
All dates follow the format `<4-Digit Year>-<2-Digit Month>-<2-Digit Day>`. For example, June 3rd 2017 would be "2017-06-03".
### GitHub Issues
Game issues can be found [here](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/issues). The ID of the issue can be found at the end of the URL. For example, [SNES Virtual Console Games - Crash on Boot](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/issues/2782)'s ID is 2782.

### Screenshots
The recommended application for capturing the icon, boxart, and screenshots is [ShareX](https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX). Screenshots can not be compressed, and must be in the PNG format.
### Title IDs
Title IDs can be found near the top of a log when running a game. For example, this is what it looks like for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 0004000000033500: `[ 0.019882] Loader <Info> core/loader/ncch.cpp:Load:340: Program ID: 0004000000033500`.

### Icon
The icon for a game is located at `/<Game Name>/icon.png` (See: [Screenshots](#screenshots). The suggested process for getting one is:
- Make sure the ROM for the game is in your yuzu game directory.
- Take a screenshot of yuzu's library listing (See: [yuzu Version](#citra-version)).
- Crop out the game icon.
- The icon should be `48x48`.
To-Do
### Boxart
The boxart for the game is located at `/<Game Name>/boxart.png`. The suggested process for getting retail boxart is:
- Download a scan from [GameTDB](http://www.gametdb.com/), preferably with the `Nintendo 3DS` logo on the right.
- The boxart should be from the USA.
- Downsize it to `328x300` using [PicResize](http://www.picresize.com/).
- Compress it using [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/).
The required process for getting eShop only boxart is:
- Run the game in yuzu (See: [yuzu Version](#citra-version)).
- Use 1x internal resolution.
- Increase the window size of yuzu to fill most of your monitor.
- Screenshot the title screen, which should only be the top screen.
- Downsize it to `500x300` using [PicResize](http://www.picresize.com/).
- Compress it using [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/).
- Examples are [Fairune](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/games/fairune/boxart.png) and [Pokémon Picross](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/games/pokemon-picross/boxart.png)
The required process for getting virtual console boxart is:
- Run the game in yuzu (See: [yuzu Version](#citra-version)).
- Use 1x internal resolution.
- Increase the window size of yuzu to fill most of your monitor.
- Screenshot the title screen, which should only be the top screen.
- Downsize it to `328x300` using [PicResize](http://www.picresize.com/).
- Compress it using [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/).
- Examples are [Legend of Zelda](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/games/legend-of-zelda/boxart.png) and [Tetris](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-games-wiki/blob/master/games/tetris/boxart.png)
To-Do
### Game Screenshots
The screenshots for the game are located in `/<Game Name>/screenshots/` (See: [Screenshots](#screenshots)). Screenshots **must** follow these specifications:
- Native resolution.
- Smallest window size.
- Black background (For the blank space left and right of the bottom screen.). To achieve this, go to the [User Directory](https://citra-emu.org/wiki/user-directory/), and from there navigate to the `config` directory. Open qt-config.ini with a text editor, and set bg_blue, bg_green, and bg_red to 0.
Additionally, if a game has a rating of 3 or higher, **you must include at least 3 screenshots**, otherwise 1 screenshot is acceptable. The names of the screenshots don't matter.
To-Do
### Savefiles
#### Save Metadata
The metadata for a save is located at `/<Game Name>/savefiles/<Save Name>.dat`. This is info about the save. The DAT values (See: [TOML](#toml)) are:
- `title` (String): The location of the save ingame.
- `description` (String): A brief explanation about the save.
- `author` (String): Your forum account name, if you have one. If you don't, don't include this line.
- `title_id` (String): Title ID of the game.
#### Save Data
The save data is located at `/<Game Name>/savefiles/<Save Name>.zip` (See: [yuzu Version](#citra-version)). To make a ZIP file, the process is:
- Make sure the ROM for the game is in your yuzu game directory.
- Right click on the game and click `Open Save Data Location`. This should open a folder named `data`.
- Note the folder that the `data` folder is in. This is the low Title ID. As an example, the low Title ID for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is `00033500`.
- The folder that the low Title ID folder is in should be named `00040000`, the high Title ID.
- Copy the high title ID folder elsewhere.
- Delete everything from the high title ID folder except for the low Title ID folder.
- Compress the high title ID folder into a ZIP.

## Summary
Mario Kart 7 has some problems in yuzu. Graphically, the game suffers from minor issues,
but requires decent hardware to obtain near full speed. It suffers from minor audio issues at times,
but this does not hinder gameplay in any way. You may experience crashes on some tracks, slow down,
and may need to transfer save files from yuzu to your 3DS to complete certain tracks.
Puyo Puyo Tetris is very broken in Yuzu. It only shows a couple of intro logos before gettings
stuck in an infinite loop.
