3DS Emulator is here! (tutorial inside)

in #gaming8 years ago (edited)

Hello fellow steemians

So like most people, i like to play nintendo games because they are nostalgic to me and i was able to find a working emulator with controller support (Xbox 360 and PS3/4).

Introducing

Citra is an experimental open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator/debugger written in C++.
Regarding to games they need to be decrypted specific to Citra, but dont worry i was able to find some websites so you can try it out.

Let´s get started:

Now for the controller configuration:

  • I was able to find a really simple tutorial on youtube (not my channel) but if you want i can just put the short version bellow

[Controls]
button_a="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:1"
button_b="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:0"
button_x="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:3"
button_y="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:2"
button_up="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:up"
button_down="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:down"
button_left="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:left"
button_right="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:right"
button_l="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:4"
button_r="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:5"
button_start="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:7"
button_select="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:6"
button_zl="engine:keyboard,code:49"
button_zr="engine:keyboard,code:50"
button_home="engine:keyboard,code:66"
circle_pad="axis_x:0,engine:sdl,joystick:0,axis_y:1"
c_stick="axis_x:3,engine:sdl,joystick:0,axis_y:4""

  • Copy the content above
  • On your desktop, right click on Citra icon and "Open file location"
  • Now you´re in the default installation folder
  • Go to Appdata location ex: (C:\Users\MaStyle\AppData\Local\citra)
  • Select roaming
  • Open Citra folder
  • Select config folder
  • Open the file "qt-config" (you can use notepad or notepad ++)
  • Remember the content above i told you to copy? Paste it by removing the old content in the qt-config with the new one.
  • Save

-Done!
-PS: CONTROLLER NEEDS TO BE TURNED ON BEFORE STARTING CITRA.

For games:

I use both websites

To run a game:

  • Open citra
  • Top left corner -> File -> Load file -> select game you want to play!

Hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial, personally i have a 3DS but since games are becoming a bit expensive i prefer to follow this step.

Thank you for your time and feel free to follow/upvote!
More content coming soon!

Peace!
