Community fork of Citra for the Nintendo 3DS.

1. Installation

  1. Download the latest version from the project's official website.
  2. Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
  3. Launch it once: it will create its configuration and subfolders.

2. Supported formats

.3ds .cia

3. Good to know

  • Set up your controller on first launch: it's the step that saves the most time.
  • Save states let you resume exactly where you left off, in addition to the game's own saves.
  • On these machines, increasing the rendering resolution noticeably improves the image; dial it back a notch if performance suffers.

4. Not working?

  • Game doesn't appear → check that its extension is among the formats listed above.
  • Abnormal display → try a different rendering backend in the options, and check your graphics drivers.
