These Terms and Conditions govern your use of CitraEmulator.org, an independent guide site about Citra Emulator. By using this site, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 27 October 2026.
1. Acceptance and age
By accessing this site you confirm you are at least 13 years old and agree to follow these terms. These terms apply to all visitors and users.
2. What this site is
This site provides informational and educational guides, tutorials, and download information about Nintendo 3DS emulation software, in particular the final Citra builds and the Azahar successor. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Nintendo, the Citra development team, or Azahar’s developers. All trademarks, logos, and brand names belong to their respective owners.
Citra’s official development ended in March 2024. Nothing on this site is a new Citra release, and no new Citra release is expected.
3. Lawful use and your own game files
You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of emulator software complies with the laws that apply to you. You agree to:
- Use only game files you have legally obtained, including games dumped from cartridges you own where that is lawful in your location.
- Not use this site to distribute copyrighted material you do not have the right to distribute.
- Understand that downloading or sharing commercial games without permission may violate copyright law.
This page does not grant you any right to a game, a BIOS file, or Nintendo system files. Citra does not require a BIOS file to run; a few games can use system files dumped from a real 3DS for optional features, as explained in the relevant guide.
4. Intellectual property in this site’s content
The text, graphics, logos, design, articles, tutorials, and images on this site are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws unless otherwise stated. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, or distribute site content without written permission, except as permitted by applicable fair-use/fair-dealing law.
Open-source emulator software discussed on this site is distributed under its own licence (Citra under the GNU General Public License). That licence governs the software, not this site’s articles.
5. Your responsibilities
You agree not to: violate laws or regulations; attempt unauthorised access to the site; spread malware, spam, or harmful code; scrape or copy site content in bulk without permission; or use the site for fraudulent or abusive activity. Access may be restricted if these terms are violated.
6. Third-party links and downloads
This site contains links to third-party websites, tools, and services, and hosts the final Citra build files listed on the download pages. The site does not control third-party content, privacy practices, software safety, or availability, and does not guarantee them. You access external sites and download files at your own risk.
Before opening any downloaded file, check that its file name matches the exact name stated on the download page and scan it with your own antivirus. The genuine final builds never ask you to install a browser extension, a download manager, or a “crack”. If anything extra tries to install, stop and do not proceed.
7. Disclaimer and no warranty
All content is provided for informational and educational purposes only, on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind. The site makes no guarantee about emulator compatibility, performance on a specific device, availability of downloads, or the accuracy or completeness of any guide. Use of emulator software is at your own risk.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator of this site is not liable for damages, losses, or issues resulting from use of the site, third-party downloads, software installation, device compatibility problems, data loss, or interruptions. You assume full responsibility for your actions and software use.
9. Advertising and affiliate disclosure
This site may display advertisements. Advertising partners may use cookies as described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Privacy
Your use of this site is governed by the Privacy Policy. Please read it to understand how information is collected and used.
11. Changes to these terms
These terms may be modified at any time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws that apply in the operator’s location, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
