'''[[wikipedia:Citra (emulator)|Citra]]''' (formerly Akiru) is a discontinued free and open-source [[Nintendo 3DS emulators|Nintendo 3DS]] emulator/debugger written in C++. It is also available as a [[libretro]] core. While the emulator is no longer active, a fork maintained by PabloMK7 is still active.
==Overview==
Citra emulates a subset of 3DS hardware and therefore is useful for running/debugging homebrew applications, and it is also able to run many commercial games. Some of these do not run at a playable state. On May 23, 2020, a [https://citra-emu.org/entry/announcing-citra-android/ official Android release] for Citra came out. The minimum requirements are Android 8 (64-bit) and OpenGL ES 3.2 support. Since 15th September 2023, Citra has also added support for Vulkan, resulting in improved performance in a number of scenarios. Many games achieve playable framerates on a variety of hardware, though the developers recommend an Android device with a Snapdragon 835 chip or better.

==Shared data==
===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.
===macOS compatibility===
Although macOS support in Citra is still poor, macOS builds have returned in to Citra Canary 2485 and newer thanks to the addition of the new Vulkan renderer. Previously, macOS builds were discontinued after build 1782 due to the developers raising the OpenGL requirements to version 4.3, while macOS only supports up to version 4.1. The new Vulkan renderer addresses this by utilizing the MoltenVK translation layer instead of OpenGL, enabling compatibility with macOS systems. Additionally, these latest builds are Universal and have native support for both Intel and Apple Silicon. ==Issues with downloading==If you decide to install it from the archived link, The updater tries to fetch for updates and cant fetch any due to it shutting down forcing you to quit the setup
