Citra is a Nintendo 3DS emulator for Mac that can run commercial games at 100 percent speed while also adding a number of features to improve their visuals beyond the Nintendo handheld consoles’ low resolution.

The emulator can show both screens in real time, but you could still also show only one in full screen and assign a button to switch between them.

You can control the game with either the keyboard or an external controller. When it comes to the touch controls on the lower screen, you may just click wherever you want using the mouse.

Citra supports a large number of Nintendo games in both 2D and 3D, while the emulator shines brightest with 3D titles, allowing for a more intensive resolution that radically transforms some games, making them appear as if they weren’t even created for a portable device.

The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon Sun and Moon A Link Between Worlds, for example, look amazing.

Citra is, without a doubt, the best and most advanced Nintendo 3DS emulator available. It’s a volunteer-led open source project that allows you to play your mobile games on a desktop computer.
