Citra is a work-in-progress Nintendo 3DS emulator compatible with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).
Citra can currently emulate, with varying degrees of success, a wide variety of different 3DS homebrew applications and commercial games.
Highlights
Citra has an active team of open-source developers. Over 150 people have worked hard on the project since its founding.
All Pokémon games now work properly. Pokémon X/Y now runs properly with HLE audio as well as LLE audio.
Citra can, ostensibly, “play” many different games now and more will become playable as development progress further.
Some games/apps, however, will not load at all – only showing a black screen. Others, might only show the title screen and then freeze or crash.
Citra supports networked local WiFi, but does not support connecting to Nintendo’s servers.
