Lime3DS is a free and open source Nintendo 3DS emulator, whose main objective is to continue the excellent work of Citra, one of the most popular emulators for this portable. To this end, this emulator offers all the features you would expect, and it does so through an incredibly simple interface, so no matter your level of experience, you can start playing within minutes of installing the app.

A number of configuration options

Even though you'll be able to start playing right away, if you want, you can always configure Lime3DS to optimize its performance on your Android device. From the configuration tab, you can choose the graphics API you want to use (OpenGLES by default), change the internal resolution at which the games will start (400x240 by default), and add texture filters to make the games look different. From the control settings, you can also customize the layout of all the console buttons on your Android device's screen. If you want, you can even use a Bluetooth controller.

An extensive video game catalog

Lime3DS's compatibility list is not only very extensive, it's also getting longer every day. From the official website, you can take a look at all the compatible titles. This compatibility list also includes a search field, thanks to which you can quickly find any video game you want. All the titles will show one of the following statuses: Not Tested, Menu, Bad, Okay, Great, or Perfect. Thanks to these statuses, you can quickly figure out whether a ROM is in working order. If you want to contribute to the compatibility list, it's easy to do so.

Do not download just any ROM

One thing you should be careful about when using Lime3DS is ROMs. It's always advisable to dump your own cartridge in order to make sure you have an untouched and secure ROM. That said, sometimes it's not possible to do so. In these cases, it's best to download only from completely reliable websites. In addition, you should always take the ROM's region into account. Choose whether you want NTSC or PAL depending on your preference.

The best way to play 3DS on Android

Download Lime3DS's APK if you want to enjoy the Nintendo 3DS catalog on your Android device. Thanks to this powerful emulator, you can enjoy some of the best handheld console video games of all time, including many 3DS-exclusive titles. Best of all, you can do it all through a simple and easy-to-use interface. If you have any questions, there's an extensive FAQ on the official website and plenty of tutorials available online.
