The official Android Citra, Nightly and Canary versions, have just been updated to launch games successfully from the likes of Daijishou or Pegasus Frontend

There was an issue which was causing a Permission denial error when trying to start a game using the EmulationActivty intent.

Our Pull Request was merged yesterday, which fixes this issue. It's included in Citra Canary, as of release 2625, and Citra Nightly, as of release 1994.

The Daijishou 3DS platform configuration has now also been updated with Jetup13's commit. If you re-download the 3DS platform in Daijishou, you'll have two new Players available: 3ds - Citra Canary and 3ds - Citra Nightly.

For reference, the syntax for the launch command is as follows:

am start -n org.citra.citra_emu/org.citra.citra_emu.activities.EmulationActivity
 -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -e SelectedGame {file.uri}
 --activity-clear-task
 --activity-clear-top
