  • Rokid Max Review and Many Tips
    Another wonderful option is to play Nintendo 3DS games with the Citra emulator. They look incredible. I would go so far as to say that if you're a fan of the console then this is the best way to experience its games, even better than on the original hardware. Again use 3840x1200 @ 60 Hz and full SBS. In Emulation -> Configure... -> Graphics -> Stereoscopy set it to "Side by Side". Also increase the renderer... Source: 9 months ago
  • Nintendo da emulator for pc? I’m soooooo new to this whole emulation world I installed dolphin and got it running nicely but I can’t find one for the Nintendo ds can someone help me? I just wanna play Pokémon heart gold again hahhaha
    Https://citra-emu.org/ Just typing the console + emulator on any search engine should give u the best option most of the time. Source: 11 months ago
  • is citra the best for 3ds emulation?
    It's safe, as long as you download it from the official website (https://citra-emu.org/). I believe that it's no longer necessary to provide original system files from a real 3DS, but it's highly recommended to do so in order to improve accuracy. Source: 12 months ago
  • there is the configuration
    "If you experience Pokémon no longer spawning in the open areas after a few minutes of gameplay, disable Extended Memory Layout (8GB DRAM). That option is not intended for normal use, it should only be enabled per game if a big texture mod is in use. It doesn't improve performance or compatibility. Don't follow terrible Youtube tutorials, I recommend reading our settings glossary instead: Settings glossary -... Source: 12 months ago
  • Ayn Odin or 3DS+PS Vita?
    Just looking at https://citra-emu.org/ and what's working on it so far, it looks like Splinter Cell doesn't work and RE Mercenaries struggles on any system :/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Do you think it's bad to play YW3 on emulator ?
    If you want to play on PC or Android, go to https://citra-emu.org and download and install the emulator. Then go to https://www.ziperto.com/yo-kai-watch-3-english/ to download the game and launch it in Citra to play. Source: about 1 year ago
  • I am looking to play the 3Ds Kirby games
    If you're looking for a 3DS emulator, I believe Citra is the most popular, though without a 3DS you will have to get the games themselves through piracy. Source: about 1 year ago
  • New-ish fire emblem player here, wanted to say that the FE4 maps are so cool (long ass post)
    If you want to try SOV you can use the citra emulator here https://citra-emu.org/ which emulates the game rather well. You will need a rom of the game though and the only way that doesn't violate copyright laws is to pull it off a game cartridge that you own. Definitely do not google "roms megathread" and click the github search result, and if you accidently do so, definitely do not navigate to nintendo and... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Quest exploration checklist - for those who want to see what else their Quest can do
    There's no direct way to do it as far as I know, but you can set it up through a combination of Citra on your PC, and any desktop viewer that supports SBS 3d. This video has some information on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T4oa2xyENc. Source: about 1 year ago
  • (SPS) Use Body Slam!...
    You can check this one out if you are interested in it: [ Citra Emulation Website ]. Source: about 1 year ago
  • dragon warrior monsters REMAKE needed
    Otherwise you can use Citra to emulate 3DS games without the physical console. Source: about 1 year ago
  • [Hobby Scuffles] Week of February 27, 2023
    Citra 3DS emulator might be of interest to you if you don't want to hack your 3DS. Source: about 1 year ago
  • 3DS Help
    To be honest, even with it closing down I would advise against panic purchases. This is essentially the same as FOMO, and it's a dangerous mindset to buy something expensive just because you won't be able to later. And besides, it's not like the software is going anywhere. Citrus is a great resource for emulating 3ds games on PC. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How do you guys play?
    Emulators 100%, mGBA for GBA games (My Boy for android, sprang for the paid version a while ago and don't regret it), DeSmuME for DS and Citra for 3DS. I do technically still own copies of most DS and 3DS games but I despise nuzlocking on hardware at this point and I tend to play romhacks anyways. I personally wouldn't recommend anything other than GBA games/romhacks for a phone, but maybe someone else has a... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Install ACNL
    Download and install Citra (https://citra-emu.org), dump the ACNL ROM (should be a .cia file) and install it into Citra, then launch it from the menu, done. If you face any problems, DM me. Source: about 1 year ago
  • reminder that Minako (FeMC) from P3P was a phantom thief for a while in Persona Q2
    If you have a 3ds: https://3ds.hacks.guide/ If you have a pc or android phone: https://citra-emu.org/ Get games on: https://hshop.erista.me/c/games. Source: about 1 year ago
  • pokemon harmonY
    Install the .cia file to a 3ds or citra (You need Citra to play the game on a PC), for citra just click file and then install cia. For 3ds install it like any other .cia file (a hacked 3ds is required for this). Source: over 1 year ago
  • does anyone know the specific version of citra that poof was playing Tomodachi life with, you know, without the lag
    Citra is a 3DS emulator available por both PC and mobile devices. "Base citra" is referring to the standard build of the emulator. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I believe in Courtney supremacy (Nemona is still good though!)
    Download Citra (3DS emulator) and also a rom of Omega Ruby. Make sure your device can run it. Also, the rom should be around 3 Gigs so make sure you have enough space. Whole setup takes 10-20 min to setup but downloading the rom could take a couple hours. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I need help with Pokemon Sun
    Maybe you downloaded the .cia file, and that's why you're having trouble. Cia files can't be launched directly, but by using the "Install CIA..." button in Citra, you can play them no problem. RetroArch cannot install CIAs, and I believe that Emudeck also cannot, so please use an official version of Citra downloaded from citra-emu.org. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Does anyone know where I could fine Tomodachi Life or collection as a NDS.file?
    Use citra to run tomodachi life here: https://citra-emu.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
