Whereas previous efforts were focused on the user-facing side, this commit replaces Citra references which are present in the codebase itself. This should be the last time a change like this is ever necessary. |

Lime3DS
Lime3DS is a project which aims to revive and continue work on Citra, a popular open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator which ceased development.
Installation
Windows & MacOS
Download the latest release from Releases.
Windows Version Differences
There is no emulation specific difference between the MSVC and MSYS2 versions of Lime3DS, they are just two different compilers used to create a Lime3DS executable. However, there are a few functional differences:
- MSVC generates a smaller file
- Microsoft developed MSVC and is closed source while MSYS2 is open-source
- MSVC requires the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ runtime, if not already installed, which can require a restart to finish the install. If you have issues with the Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes, you should try the MSYS2 install
- There have been reports where MSVC has not worked while MSYS2 does
Android
The recommended method of downloading Lime3DS on Android is via Obtainium:
- Download and install Obtainium from here (use the file named
app-release.apk
) - Open Obtainium and click 'Add App'
- Type
https://github.com/Lime3DS/Lime3DS
into the 'App Source URL' section - Click 'Add'
- Click 'Install' (or 'Update' if you have an existing APK install)
- Lime3DS is now ready to use
Using Obtainium will allow for quick and easy installation of updates.
Alternatively, you can install the latest APK from the Releases page.
This will require a new APK to be manually downloaded each time an update is released.
Linux
Lime3DS is available as an AppImage on the Releases page.
We are also on Flathub:
