Mikage is a free and open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator developed by Tony Wasserka, a.k.a. neobrain, a prominent emudev who has contributed to other emulation projects such as Dolphin, PPSSPP, and Citra. Though the emulator's source is available and can be built, Mikage is not in a user-friendly state yet. DO NOT TRUST BINARIES OF THE EMULATOR SHARED ONLINE AT THIS TIME!
Overview
Mikage was created from scratch as neobrain saw an opportunity for a better-than-average-quality 3DS emulator on Android. Mikage was publicly announced on the official website and Twitter account on July 1, 2019, though neobrain had been working on the project for three years prior, starting in 2016. He got The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D working in 2018.[1]
On August 15, 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 rise enough supporters on Patreon to make it worth continuing development without resorting to shadier methods of ads or pricing the app.[2]
On May 3, 2022, neobrain announced that Mikage would resume development, due to the slowdown in activity from the Citra developers, especially regarding the Android version, and a desire to fully emulate the 3DS experience.[3]
On July 1, 2022, 
a video was posted on the YouTube channel, showing the Nintendo 3DS initial setup and home menu fully working. On October 26, neobrain would go on to reveal on Twitter that Mikage had become the first 3DS emulator with the ability to power off the system.[4]
On January 2, 2025, neobrain announced the release of Mikage's source code, inviting collaboration from other developers to help progress the emulator forward.[5]
