Suggested Emulators

Citra

Citra was an open-source emulator that took cues from Dolphin in terms of presentation and support. It could run many 3DS games and can even play games that support local wifi. It requires a very powerful computer that has a 64-bit processor to run with some games requiring higher requirements than others. An archive of the last versions can be found here.
