Citra for switch is in development. There is no release. Go to the discord to the developer.

Excuse me?

And this is not fake, he provided a download link, which worked. I'm playing Apollo Justice 3DS right now.

Yes, but that is not a release, is an alpha version of the emulator.

Ok. My question still stands tho, and could you link the discord invite please?

This is the discord of the developer: https://discord.gg/Vv6tKt7

In the discord server there is a channel where you can get the newest alpha releases

Sorry about your question, I don't know, but you can ask them in their server there is a staff right there.

Actually, you better not ask in the Discord if you didn’t legitimately get the core as a Patron.

I tried cia file but it just crashed maybe its not supported yet!

Afaik you need to use the citra pc emulator to install the DLC CIA to the sd card virtually then transfer the files to the switch.

I haven’t tried yet, but this emulator is amazingly promising.

Always support your devs, donate on patreon, or Paypal, and give them impetus to keep producing amazing apps for us all to enjoy.

You using decrypted roms? Afaik you can only run decrypted.

Yes, decrypted.
Édit : I recopied the file again and it's functional.
Édit 2 : The game is ultra slow compared to it.
Édit 3 : I figured out the shaders caused the trouble.

Where should I place the files and where can I locate the update/DLC folders? (Already have Citra on PC)

Care to explain? I'm trying to make run a few games but all of them crash when trying to load.

Wait, so this is legit? People can get playable framerates with Citra on a Nintendo Switch? Or is this going to be like DC emulation on the 360 from what I've heard about it: experimental, leaves you wishing it could, but isn't practical for the hardware?

Tried a few games - Zelda OOT ran the best so far. Maybe someone care share good settings for performance.

as for how to do this properly you would install dlc on citra windows emu then copy your installed dlc folder to same location on sd card. I would also install a copy of 3ds firmware. It is tricky but can be done.

I don't know if it was answered already, but it's pretty simple. You first must download the latest nightly release for the PC version of Citra.
Once that's installed on your machine, you need to download and install all the CIA files for the SO components and apps. That way, you will build a complete virtual nand. After that, you can keep installing the CIA files for the updates and DLCs.
Once you are done, move the nand to your SD card inside the system folder (where the BIOS are located) for RetroArch or Lakka.
