Citra Emulator

Citra helps users who want to play their own game backups on a phone. It emulates a handheld system so games run on Android with on screen controls or external input. With the Citra APK, setup centers on adding legally obtained game files, because the app does not include content. Graphics settings can raise resolution and improve textures on capable devices. Performance and compatibility vary by title and hardware.

Citra Features

For compatibility, Citra runs hundreds of games. Support can differ by title and device. Before you download Citra, note that no games or copyrighted system files are included, and you must supply your own legally dumped content.

Enhanced graphics options

For visuals, you can scale resolution and apply texture filtering to improve clarity. These options are optional and work best on high end devices. Premium offers cosmetic additions such as a Dark theme and extra texture filtering choices through an in app purchase.

External gamepad support

For controls, connect supported external gamepads for physical inputs. You can switch to on screen controls when a gamepad is not available, depending on your preference and the game.

Built in device features
