    Another wonderful option is to play Nintendo 3DS games with the Citra emulator. They look incredible. I would go so far as to say that if you're a fan of the console then this is the best way to experience its games, even better than on the original hardware. Again use 3840x1200 @ 60 Hz and full SBS. In Emulation -> Configure... -> Graphics -> Stereoscopy set it to "Side by Side". Also increase the renderer internal resolution to as high as your PC can handle (I used "5x Native"). We'll also have to set the display layout for our resolution and aspect ratio. Unfortunately, this has to be done manually. Browse to %APPDATA%\Citra\config and edit qt-config.ini with this in the [display] section:
  • Help, so i saw on a video that to make amiibo work on citra you have to put .bin amiibo files in the amiibo folder in citra-emu folder but it isn't there

    After some more research, I discovered that the Citra devs discovered and fixed this issue by allowing the Back button to open the in-emulation menu. This fix was added on Jan 22 2023. When I checked the version of Citra available on the Google Play Store on my phone, it was a very old version from May 2021, which is strange because viewing the same Play Store page on my computer shows it was updated in April 2023... maybe your Play Store version is also outdated? If so, the only solution I can think of would be to install the apk from the Citra Nightly github repo.

    There have been several recent changes merged for custom textures. Here is one of the pull requests for example: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/6452. The slow loading you're talking about was only an issue for me if preload custom textures was enabled.

  • 3DS emulation on Mac M2?
    4 projects | /r/macgaming | 5 May 2023
    I just followed the build-it-yourself instructions here https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Building-for-macOS and it was easy-peasy.. tried a game and it works great

    Just used the instructions here https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Building-for-macOS to build it myself. I can open it but I also get the error as soon as I try to run anything.. that my system doesn't support OpenGL. Looked in the settings but there isn't any way yet to switch to Vulkan. I think Vulkan support is coming very soon but hasn't landed yet.
  • You guys like 3ds emulation

    That's weird, since it was implemented in November 2022 (I only know this because I was looking it up yesterday for another use case)
  • Do you think it's bad to play YW3 on emulator ?

    If you want to play on PC or Android, go to https://citra-emu.org and download and install the emulator. Then go to https://www.ziperto.com/yo-kai-watch-3-english/ to download the game and launch it in Citra to play.
