How long will it take to get an emulator that can play a majority of games? Many years for certain. At the very least (using Using other emulation scenes as a reference) you should expect to wait 4-6 yearsfor an emulator to play the majority of games, but it could take as long as 8 or even -10. If you have the money, buy Buy a 3DS if you can't wait.
Small clarification. More uniformity with other articles. A little rewording.

===Comparisons===
* [[Citra]] is an extremely early in development 3DS emulator. It is considered experimental, and cannot play any games besides simple homebrew.
* [[3dmoo]] is another 3DS emulator, made by experienced devs developers in the DS hacking scene. It's is newer than Citra, but progress is quicker. It now has homebrew compatibility on par with Citra, even being slightly better in some aspects.
===DevelopmentEmulation issues===
The Nintendo 3DS '''currently has no functional emulators'''; this is mainly due to the fact that the hardware has yet to be documented. Once the hardware is well known and its functions are well-documented, emulation can begin. When you take into account the fact that the 3DS supposedly has a high amount of security built-in, this may take a while. Be prepared to wait.
