Hello everyone!

I'm looking for an option to play 3DS games on a Steam Deck.

I'm using RetroArch for SNES and N64, but I'm lacking a core for 3DS. Guides I found online are all pointing to dead or old sources.

Any suggestions or ideas? Ideally something that integrates with RetroArch (not a must tho)?

I am not very familiar with how stuff works under Linux, so I'd need a bit of hand holding unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Citra may be "dead", but it still works great, including with retroarch. Seems to still be available on the internet archive.

I think EmuDeck installs Azahar these days, which appears to be a fork of Citra.

This site is a fantastic resource for all your emulation needs.

This page lists 3DS emulators and shows which are active and recommended.
