;Borked3DS: A rebrand and continuation of the Bravely Offline Citra fork. It has all of the latest features from PabloMK7's Citra fork, incorporating most features from Lime3DS, and some hacks and features from Mandarine, as well as having its own features.

;PabloMK7 fork: A Citra fork ~~that free and open-source~~ written in C++ and initially created to add online play,<ref>https://twitter.com/Pablomf6/status/1719705943028449372</ref> but ~~continues~~ to receive new updates and other new features following the end of support for upstream Citra. PabloMK7 was a contributor of Citra, and the repository has also seen work from other active Citra contributors such as GPUCode, who was among the most active contributors before the repository was deleted. Being a fork of Citra, the emulator emulates a subset of 3DS hardware and therefore is useful for running/debugging homebrew applications; it is also able to run many commercial games. Some of these do not run in a playable state. On May 5, 2024, PabloMK7 announced an upcoming feature known as Artic Base,<ref>https://twitter.com/Pablomf6/status/1787246255002853480</ref> released on May 12, 2024.<ref>https://github.com/PabloMK7/ArticBaseServer</ref> Artic Base is a 3DS homebrew app that can stream game data from the 3DS system to an instance of Citra over the local network, allowing users to play their own games on Citra without having to dump them. Artic Base can also sync save data between the 3DS and Citra. On October 29, 2024, ~~development~~ had ~~been~~ ceased ~~pending the start of a "new, more serious continuation project."<ref>https://twitter~~.~~com/Pablomf6/status/1851193842550046977</ref> This new project won't be a solo endeavour, as this new~~ Citra fork ~~is a collaborative effort between both Lime3DS and PabloMK7's fork~~ to ~~create a new, unified project called~~ Azahar.<ref name="azahar">https://azahar-emu.org</ref>

;Citra MMJ: '''Citra MMJ''' is a unofficial [[Nintendo 3DS emulators|Nintendo 3DS]] emulator for Android written by weihuoya and forked from [[Citra]]. Offers less stuttering and greater performance than mainline Citra on Android, along with additional features. Minimum hardware requirements for this fork are not defined, although games should run more quickly on weaker hardware than mainline requires.
