Originally presented to the public in 2014, the capabilities of this Nintendo emulator grew at a rapid pace. Since the console featured two distinct screens, the emulator also manages to emulate both of them with great accuracy. Regardless, since the hardware of Nintendo 3DS is quite ancient and slow compared to modern Mac components, even modest gaming Macs will find it quite easy to emulate software built for this portable gaming platform.Įmulator configuration enables macOS users to map console controls directly to their keyboard or gamepad and offers a wide variety of other customization tools. Be aware that Citra is built using C++ and requires a modern GPU with a full OpenGL 3.3 (or later) to run and an 圆4 CPU.
Citra (Nintendo 3DS Emulator) for macOS comes in a small package that can be easily installed on any modern Mac.
