JUMP TO: The Nintendo 3DS is the first glasses-free 3D video game device. The 3DS was originally announced at the E3 June 2010 convention, and it created a lot of buzz in the video game industry. At a time where 3D TVs that required special glasses to view the effects were beginning to thrive in the market, a glasses free 3D screen was a technological milestone that TV makers are still trying to replicate today for their big screens. The portable device features dual screens, with the top 3D screen sporting a 800 x 240 resolution at 3.53″ and a bottom 2D 320 x 240 resolution 3.02″ touchscreen.
It also packs in a 3-axis accelerometer & 3-axis gyroscope for motion-based gaming. Other features include dual cameras for taking 3D pictures and videos, a 3D depth slider to adjust the intensity of the 3D effect, integrated wireless b/g for online connectivity, a microphone, an IR port, and 2GB of SD card storage. Nintendo released the 3DS to the US in March 2011, where it sold 440K devices during the first week of its launch. In August 2012, Nintendo released a new edition of the handheld named the Nintendo 3DS XL.
This new device has 90% larger screens and gives users 4GB of SD storage space — twice the capacity as its predecessor. FREE EMULATOR’S CITRA COMPATIBILITY LIST:: I have created this basic compatibility list today so that you can easily keep up with how specific games are running on the Citra emulator. I plan on updating this frequently for the time being, so check back often! There is also a compatibility list on the official Citra site, but I decided to create this one myself as it’s a lot of work just to add one new entry to their compatibility list. ☆☆☆☆☆ = Untested–it might work, it might not. ★☆☆☆☆ = Immediately crashes or boots to a black screen. ★★☆☆☆ = Gets to intros (and maybe even the menus), but doesn’t work in-game.
★★★☆☆ = Goes in-game, but it’s too slow or has too many issues to be considered playable. ★★★★☆ = Playable at or close to full speed–likely has some graphical or audio glitches.

★★★★★ = Plays near perfect. Doesn’t get much better than this via emulation! The games tested below are the USA versions, unless otherwise noted. They were done on a Windows 10 (64-bit) PC with an Intel i7-4770 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU, & 16GB DDR3 RAM. Get the latest Citra Canary builds here.
