Community fork of Citra for the Nintendo 3DS.
1. Installation
- Download the latest version from the project's official website.
- Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
- 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.
