Citra 3ds

Turn your phone into a handheld gaming console. Citra 3D Emulator runs your own 3D handheld game backups with sharp HD graphics, glowing on-screen controls and a library that feels like a real console home screen.

⚡ READY IN TWO STEPS

Pick a data folder, pick your games folder, done. Your library appears with real game icons, and you can jump straight into your adventure.

🎮 CONTROLS THAT FEEL RIGHT

• Full on-screen gamepad: D-pad, circle pad, A/B/X/Y, L/R, Start and Select

• Buttons light up when you press them, so you always know what you hit

• Tap the bottom screen directly, just like a stylus

• In-game keyboard support for games that ask you to type names

🖥️ HD GRAPHICS & SMOOTH PERFORMANCE

• Upscale games beyond their original resolution for crisp, clean visuals

• OpenGL and Vulkan renderers: choose what runs best on your device

• Texture filters and screen layouts: default, single screen, large screen, side by side and hybrid

• Fine-tune quality vs. speed for high-end and budget phones alike

💾 SAVE ANYWHERE

Save states let you freeze the game at any moment and continue exactly where you stopped: on the bus, in class, or before a boss fight.

📚 A LIBRARY YOU'LL LOVE

• "Continue playing" card to resume your last game in one tap

• Recently played, favorites and instant search

• Grid or list view with game icons

• Play-time tracking for every game

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST

The app only accesses the folders you choose. No "all files" permission, no access to your photos or other personal files.

✨ DESIGNED FOR GAMERS

A dark, neon, console-style interface built for playing, not for fiddling with menus.

SUPPORTED FILES

Decrypted .3ds, .cci, .cxi and .3dsx game files, including compressed variants.

IMPORTANT

Citra 3D Emulator does NOT include any games. You must use your own game backups that you legally own. Encrypted game files are not supported. This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo.
