'''[[wikipedia:Citra(emulator)|Citra]]''' is an experimental, open-source [[Nintendo 3DS emulators|Nintendo 3DS]] emulator/debugger written in C++. 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] ===Unofficial builds===Some users have been creating their own builds using WIP branches and compiler optimization flags for slightly better speeds(Windows, compatibility and/or more features. There are forum threads with discussion and downloads for [http://gbatemp.net/threads/citra-unofficial-chinese-builds-discussion.431974/ unofficial builds] and [http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=citra Chinese builds]. They usually perform better than Citra's official "Bleeding Edge" buildsLinux, but they frequently get taken down over GPL violations.macOS)
==Shared data==
* 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.

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.
