Quick help
- Game does not start: re-extract the archive and try the other format (
.cia
for hardware, .3ds
for Citra). - Performance issues: update Citra, keep paths short with only English letters, and reduce internal resolution.

- Storage: on hardware, ensure enough free SD space before installing a
.cia
.
