Citra is a free and open-source emulator of the handheld Nintendo 3DS for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Citra's name is derived from CTR, which is the model name of the original 3DS.[2] Citra can run many homebrew games and commercial games.[7]

Citra was first made available in 2014. The core team behind it went on to develop Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu in 2018.[8]

Development

Citra was initially created in April 2014.[9] The first commercial Nintendo 3DS game to be run by Citra was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.[10][11] Citra has been able to emulate Pokémon games since December 30, 2015 and Pokémon Sun and Moon.[citation needed]

Citra can emulate audio since May 21, 2016,[12] and has had a JIT compiler since September 15, 2016.[13] In November 2017, Citra announced networking support for the emulator.[14] The networking support emulates the 3DS's local Wi-Fi, which originally made it possible to play over local networks. Additionally, Citra allows the networking to be compatible with other users anywhere.[2] In April 2020, the Citra Team announced compatibility with New Nintendo 3DS games and support for save states,[15][16] and in May 2020, they announced a version of Citra for Android.[17]
