===Unofficial builds===Some users have been creating their own builds using WIP branches and compiler optimization flags These files are not provided by the Citra developers for slightly better speedslegal reasons, compatibility and/or more features. Discussion and downloads for unofficial builds so they can be found in downloaded from the [[http://gbatemp.net/threads/citra-unofficial-chinese-builds-discussion.431974/ this threadEmulator Files#Nintendo 3DS|Emulator Files]] page.]
* Amiibo support. Nothing.

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.
Due to its preliminary state, it has not yet had a stable release.
==Downloads==
* [https://citra-emu.org/download/ Latest nightly and bleeding edge canary builds](Windows, Linux, macOS) ==Shared data==Some 3DS games make use of shared files from the console's system software. These games will not boot in Citra if said files are not present in the user folder.
==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.
* 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 too buggy and crash-prone to be usable.
* Stereoscopic 3D visual effect. Was worked on briefly before being abandoned.
===Game Image Format===
Citra accepts only games in '''decrypted .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, which were missing some data yet could be emulated on 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 this Citra, even one requiring keys from your console, isn't actively pursued ''as a design choice''. Tools on 3DS and PC exist to convert those to decrypted .3ds format for the time being, and a 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. It's always on by default unless you opt out of it. If you're not comfortable with this feature When booting Citra for reasons like security, privacy, bandwidth caps or personal preferencesthe first time, you can look into disabling this feature from Citra's GUI then blocking <code>https://services.citra-emu.org</code>get asked if you want to enable it.
==Playing Citra on your phone==
[https://github.com/uberhalit/CitraTouchControl This] program allows you to control citra Citra with touch controls on your phone.It is , therefore , possible to use a [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android.beta remote desktop client] via your phone, to emulate with Citra and stream from your PC to your phone.

[[File:Citra_Remote.gif|thumb|right|Example of remote phoneplay phone play on citraCitra. (Click to play)]] An [https://github.com/SachinVin/citra_android unofficial frontend software] for running Citra on [[Android emulators|Android devices]] has been created by SachinVin, and its first binary release came out on [https://github.com/SachinVin/citra_android/releases/tag/v0.1.0-pre-alpha May 23, 2018]. It was based off the [[Dolphin]] frontend for Android. It is in continuous development with newer releases as of late 2018. It is slow and possibly with no sound, and its compatibility level is low.
