Due ==Overview==Citra emulates a subset of 3DS hardware and therefore is useful for running/debugging homebrew applications, and it is also able to its preliminary run many commercial games. Some of these do not run at a playable state. On May 23, 2020, a [https://citra-emu.org/entry/announcing-citra-android/ official Android release] for Citra came out. The minimum requirements are Android 8 (64-bit) and OpenGL ES 3.2 support. Since 15th September 2023, it Citra has not yet had also added support for Vulkan, resulting in improved performance in a number of scenarios. Many games achieve playable framerates on a variety of hardware, though the developers recommend an Android device with a stable releaseSnapdragon 835 chip or better.

==Importing saves==
Some games games require this to bypass bugs in title screens.
# Get the Title ID for the game version you have from [http://www.3dsdb.com/ here]. For example, we'll try with the European version of Zelda: ALBW. Its full Title ID is <code>00040000000EC400</code>.
# Take the last 8 digits of the Title ID. (in our example, <code>000EC400</code>) In case this method fails later, take <code>00000000</code> instead, or make sure the save file and the ROM image are from the same region.
#: <code>\user\sdmc\Nintendo 3DS\00000000000000000000000000000000\00000000000000000000000000000000\title\00040000</code>

While the latest sighax exploit allows for dumping decryption keys to convert (and possibly load) encrypted games in either .3ds or .cia format, development for a solution to allow for this Citra, even one requiring keys from your console, was formerly not actively pursued ''as a design choice''. Tools on 3DS and PC exist to convert those to decrypted .3ds format, and a guide can be found [[File:Citra_Remote.gif|thumb|rightNintendo 3DS emulators#Encryption|Example of remote phoneplay on citra. (Click to play)here]]. However, Citra now allows loading/installing encrypted 3ds/CIA files if the necessary AES keys are provided. The required keys are provided with the 3DS Shared Data downloadable above.
===Telemetry===
Citra developers decided to implement a telemetry feature, uploading to them through Internet connection detailed logs and data about your computer specs and the games you're playing. When booting Citra for the first time, you get asked if you want to enable it.
===macOS compatibility===
Although macOS support in Citra is still poor, macOS builds have returned to Citra Canary 2485 and newer thanks to the addition of the new Vulkan renderer. Previously, macOS builds were discontinued after build 1782 due to the developers raising the OpenGL requirements to version 4.3, while macOS only supports up to version 4.1. The new Vulkan renderer addresses this by utilizing the MoltenVK translation layer instead of OpenGL, enabling compatibility with macOS systems. Additionally, these latest builds are Universal and have native support for both Intel and Apple Silicon.
==Issues with downloading==
If you decide to install it from the archived link, The updater tries to fetch for updates and cant fetch any due to it shutting down forcing you to quit the setup
However, you can download Citra from "Manual Installation" section and you can download and use Citra as usual.
