<p>Citra is a <b>work-in-progress</b> emulator for the Nintendo 3DS.</p>
<h3>What can it do?</h3>
<p>It can currently emulate <a href="https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib">ctrulib</a>-built homebrew programs, such as <a href="https://github.com/smealum/yeti3DS">Smealum's port of Yeti3DS</a>.</p>

<p>Citra is also beginning to run some commercial games, but all are very broken and unplayable.</p>
<h3>Can I play &lt;insert retail game here&gt;?</h3>
<p>In nice, bold letters: <b>No! Citra is not ready yet!</b>. You can <b>not</b> play Pokémon, Super Mario Bros., or any of your other favorite 3DS games yet. </p>

<p>Citra is compatible with Windows, Linux, and OS X. In the far future, mobile platforms may be targeted as well.</p>
<h3>What kind of specs do I need to run Citra?</h3>
<p>Citra currently uses an interpreter to emulate the 3DS's hardware. As one might imagine, this is very inefficient, so it is doubtful that most (if any!) consumer hardware would be fast enough to run at full-speed.</p>
<p>Citra currently uses an interpreter to emulate the 3DS's CPU, as well as a software renderer for the GPU. As one might imagine, this is very inefficient, so it is doubtful that most (if any!) consumer hardware would be fast enough to run at full-speed.</p>
<p>In short, there's no real recommended hardware, but suffice it to say that you want the fastest possible processor, and a graphics chip that supports at least OpenGL 3.</p>
