He got The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D working in 2018.[1]

On August 15th, 2020, neobrain announced that he was putting the project on an indefinite hiatus due to lack of interest from the community and not being able to gain enough supporters on Patreon to make it worth continuing development without resorting to shadier methods of ads or pricing the app.[2]

On May 3rd, 2022, neobrain announced that Mikage would resume development due to the slowdown in activity from the Citra developers, especially regarding the Android version.[3]

On July 1st, 2022, a video was posted on the YouTube channel, showing the Nintendo 3DS's initial setup and home menu fully working.[4]
