|{{✗}}<ref group=N name=pretendo>Possible with [https://pretendo.network/#about Pretendo]: Open-source project that aims to recreate Nintendo Network for the 3DS and Wii U using clean-room reverse engineering. Pretendo supports any client that can interact with Nintendo Network. '''Currently [[Citra]] does not support true online play and thus does not work with Pretendo, and does not show signs of supporting true online play at all. [[Mikage]] may provide support in the future though this is far from certain.'''</ref>

: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 2020].

;Corgi3DS:A unique 3DS emulator designed for macOS systems. Its GitHub activity started on [https://github.com/PSI-Rockin/Corgi3DS/commit/1b81c7e00c9a7a73f2da12d07ec3a9e4bc69c6ac May 5, 2019]. The 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]]' code. The project is on an 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''".

;[[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.
