Citra was first made available in 2014. The core team behind it went on to develop Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu in 2018.[10]
Citra was initially created in April 2014.[11] The first commercial Nintendo 3DS game to be run by Citra was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.[12][13]
Citra can emulate audio since May 21, 2016,[14] and has had a JIT compiler since September 15, 2016.[15] In November 2017, Citra announced networking support for the emulator.[16] The networking support emulates the 3DS's local Wi-Fi, which originally made it possible to play over local networks. Additionally, Citra allows the networking to be compatible with other users anywhere.[4] In April 2020, the Citra Team announced compatibility with New Nintendo 3DS games and support for save states,[17][18] and in May 2020, they announced a version of Citra for Android.[19]
