The developed told me that a large chunk of games are playable on both PC (dunno platform) and ARM/android
The '''[[wikipedia:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]]''' is an eighth-generation handheld game console by Nintendo, released on March 27, 2011 for {{inflation|USD|249|2011}}. The original model and the 2DS had a dual-core ARM11 MPCore at 268 MHz and a single-core ARM9, 128MB of RAM and 6MB of VRAM, and a DMP PICA200 GPU. The New 3DS and New 2DS XL models upgrade this to an 804 MHz quad-core ARM11 and 256MB of RAM, along with an extra pair of shoulder buttons and a right analogue stick.
The most notable feature of this console is the use of [https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereoscopy |autostereoscopic]] (glasses-free) 3D, which can be configured using a slider. This was omitted on the cost-reduced 2DS and New 2DS XL models, which was released due to eye health concerns with children whom Nintendo advised not to use the 3DS's stereoscopic mode (though it is speculated that said advisories were more for liability reasons in case of a health-related lawsuit).

===Comparisons===
;[[Citra]]<small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://citra-emu.org/game/ compatibility])</small>:An open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator made by experienced emulator developers. The devs insist that it's still experimental, but as of mid-2019 around half of all games are fully playable with minor or no issues. [https://citra-emu.org/entry/announcing-citra-android/ An official Android version was released in May of 2020]. ;Corgi3DS:An unique 3DS emulator designed for macOS systems. Its GitHub activity started on [https://github.com/PSI-Rockin/Corgi3DS/commit/1b81c7e00c9a7a73f2da12d07ec3a9e4bc69c6ac May 5, 2019]. Main programmer is a self-proclaimed dog lover and has previously created CorgiDS and DobieStation, though the former seemed to be abandoned. Corgi3DS is mainly indigenous but the preliminary [https://github.com/PSI-Rockin/Corgi3DS/commit/a60b06683495e4e8fd0c170ec4ca8c453ce31609 Wi-Fi code] was ported from [[melonDS]]'s code. (The Project is on a indefinite hiatus, PSI said this about the matter "Haven't worked on it in several months, it's basically a hobby project of mine that I touch when I feel the urge"). ;[[Mikage]]:An upcoming emulator developed by Tony Wasserka, a.k.a. ''neobrain'', with focus on optimitzation and stability in Android, willing to fill the gap left by Citra. It is closed-source and also has a PC port.
;[[3dmoo]]:Another open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator, made by experienced developers in the DS hacking scene. It was released shortly after Citra and received similar progress for a few months, but was eventually aborted by its authors after a while.
;[[TronDS]]:A closed-source Nintendo 3DS emulator, presumably made by the iDeaS author. Little is known about it other than that it can run simple homebrew. It cannot be used for playing games.

==Emulation issues==
Citra currently can't emulate any of the 3DS's online features aside from LAN multiplayer. It can't connect to Nintendo's servers but users can create rooms and play through the internet.
Corgi3ds currently Corgi3DS can't run any game games without heavy stuttering.
Citra emulates the home menu although you can't launch anything on it, also Citra can't launch the system apps or other games while in game (as the same with the home menu) and resulting on the softlock of the emulator, effectively making Citra unplayable.
