The 3DS can read SD cards formatted as MBR/FAT32. Unlike single console netplay used in most emulators, users won’t. While on a real 3DS you’d be limited to the people in your immediate vicinity, Citra boasts a complex server/client infrastructure that forwards a game’s wireless communication across the internet. You will need a working SD card in your 3DS, as well as the ability to write files to the SD card. Citra’s multiplayer feature has the ability to emulate local wireless multiplayer over the Internet.You should make a backup of your SD card contents if you have important data. Following this guide alone should not result in data loss, but SD card corruption is always a possibility.
This guide will work on every retail device in the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles (including the New 3DS series and the 2DS), regardless of region or firmware.Incorrect file placement will not brick your device, but reckless behavior might. While the risks of bricking have been minimized over the years, we are not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device.A modern, boot9strap/Luma3DS-based setup is preferred over older setups (arm9loaderhax, menuhax) because it is more stable for modern homebrew and continues to be supported by the community.
