It's currently able to run quite a few games well, though very few can run at full speed on existing hardware, and most titles have sound issues. It is also available as a [[libretro]] core.

===Unofficial builds=Shared data==Some users have been creating their own builds using WIP branches and compiler optimization flags for slightly better speeds, compatibility and/or more features3DS games make use of shared files from the console's system software. Discussion and downloads for unofficial builds can be found These games will not boot in Citra if said files are not present in [http://gbatempthe user folder.net/threads/citra-unofficial-chinese-builds-discussion.431974/ this thread] These files are not provided by the Citra developers for legal reasons, and the ''chinese builds'' by g*mk so they can be found downloaded from the [http://pan.baidu.com/share/home?uk=33717959[Emulator Files#category/type=0 hereNintendo 3DS|Emulator Files]] page.]

Some games games require this to bypass bugs in title screens.

==Issues=====Emulation issues===Emulation for various features is non-existent or not actively worked on enough to be in a usable state. This includes:* Connectivity features relying on Wi-Fi (Wii U/3DS, Switch/3DS, 3DS Local Multiplayer, 3DS Online...), not in small part due to the setbacks hindering Wi-Fi DS emulation.* New 3DS mode. Throws a fatal error or tries to emulate in old 3DS mode. Even when the source is modified to allow for New 3DS mode, it's still arentoo buggy and crash-prone to be usable.* Stereoscopic 3D visual effect. Was worked on briefly before being abandoned. ===Game Image Format===Citra accepts games in '''t documented.3ds, .cia or .cxi format'''. Furthermore, in Summer 2017, chances are your existing dumps tailor-made for Citra most probably made with the officially recommended tool braindump, let alone which were missing some data yet could be emulatedon Citra, have had their compatibility broken as a design choice with no options provided to fix those dumps. You'll have to get new dumps. Furthermore, 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 DS or this Citra, even one requiring keys from your console, isn't actively pursued ''as a design choice''. Tools on 3DSand PC exist to convert those to decrypted . This may change as emulation progresses down 3ds format for the road time being, and work begins on these areasa guide can be found [[Nintendo 3DS emulators#Encryption|here]]. ===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.
