With Citra you don’t need manual updates to keep your application at the latest version, this is a very simple feature but not all emulators still have this and you would need to constantly check the emulator’s website for information on updates and bug fixes. So what are some of the features of Citra that every emulator should have? The first is auto-updates. The nightly builds of Citra also starting to support Macs with the latest M1 Chip! If you have installed any emulator before, this will be a walk in the park. The same is also very simple for Android and macOS. It is very simple, if you are on a desktop you just need to download an executable file that acts as a setup wizard, follow the prompts and you’re done, it is installed. Let’s start as always with the installation. Is it just because the Nintendo 3DS was insanely popular during its heyday that Citra is also so popular? The short answer is a no! Citra has a lot going for itself that made it earn its large community and following from being a good emulator to start with in terms of performance to having great features that all console emulators should have.
