The Nintendo 3DS handheld console

The Nintendo 3DS is the latest handheld console by Nintendo, released in 2010/2011. The most notable feature of this console is the use of autostereoscopic (i.e. without glasses) 3D, which can be configured using a slider.

There are no 3DS emulators. Any site claiming to have a working emulator is a scam. Anything on that site should be considered malware until proven otherwise.

Development

The Nintendo 3DS currently has no emulators; this is mainly due to the fact that the hardware has yet to be documented. Once the console has been hacked (to some degree, at least), and the hardware is well known and its functions are documented, emulation can begin. Plus the fact that the 3DS supposedly has a high amount of security built-in, this may take a while. Be prepared to wait.

Citra is an extremely early in development 3DS emulator. It is considered experimental, and cannot play any games.

How long will it take to get an emulator that can play a majority of games? Many years for certain. Possibly as long as ten. Buy a 3DS if you can't wait.
