#### Does Citra have controller support? #### Does Citra have controller support?
Yes; however, it is not configurable via the GUI at the moment. Please refer to [this](https://community.citra-emu.org/t/temporary-controller-configurations-for-citra/1061) forum post for the temporary solution. Yes, you can configure your controller directly through the GUI.
Note: Citra now supports controller configuration via the GUI. Please use the latest [build](https://citra-emu.org/download/).
#### Can I expect _Citra_ to play [GAME] at full-speed? #### Can I expect _Citra_ to play [GAME] at full-speed?
_Citra_ can run most games at full speed now thanks to the recent JIT compiler being merged into the official build. Certain parts of videos/cutscenes will still be slower due to JIT compilation not being feature complete yet. _Citra_ can run most games at variable speed, depending on your hardware configuration.
However, not all games are created equally and therefore some games will run at full speed while others might suffer from slow emulation.

_Note: The speed of [GAME] will depend on the **single-core** performance of your processor. Refer to your CPU benchmark in this [graph](https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html). If it's below score of 1,800 the [GAME] might not be playable at decent speeds._ _Note: The speed of [GAME] will depend on the **single-core** performance of your processor.

_Also, it has been reported that using the integrated **Intel GPU** has shown major performance increased in emulation speed. Only some games will benefit from it. This also applies for other emulators as well. Feel free to test both integrated and dedicated GPU to see which one gives you the best performance._ _Also, it has been reported that using the integrated **Intel GPU** on laptops has shown major performance increased in emulation speed.

Recent versions have a framerate limiter built-in. It can be toggled in the configuration, reachable through the Menu (citra-qt): "Emulation" > "Configure..." > "Graphics" > "Limit Framerate". You may also want to enable V-Sync in the same page if desired. Recent versions have a framerate limiter built-in.

Make sure to uncheck the V-Sync option, as it's obsolete and might give you unexpected slowdowns.

It is very likely that this issue is caused by your GPU or drivers not supporting _OpenGL 3.3_. Try updating to the latest drivers if possible, and verify that either your driver's control panel or a tool like [GPU Caps Viewer](http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/) reports that you can use at least _OpenGL 3.3_. If updating drivers doesn't help, you'll need to upgrade your GPU or wait until we remove this limitation from the software renderer. (The hardware renderer will never support lower _OpenGL_ versions.) It is very likely that this issue is caused by your GPU or drivers not supporting _OpenGL 3.3_.

First, if you've downloaded any DLL files from the Internet and placed them in the _Citra_ or a system folder, *remove them first*, they will not solve your problem and may cause system instability. Then download and install the *x64* variant (vc_redist.x64.exe) of [Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145) from _Microsoft_. If that doesn't help, ensure you have also extracted the DLL files that come included with the _Citra_ builds and that they are in the same directory as the executable.
