CitraVR is a much bigger deal than 3DS emulation on your Meta Quest 3

Earlier this week on January 21, 2024, CitraVR was uploaded to SideQuest – an alternative app store for Meta Quest headsets. This 3DS emulator for the Oculus Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3 may only be in beta but it’s already impressed everyone who’s given it a whirl (us included), and it might bring about a VR software renaissance.

CitraVR is a virtual reality version of Citra – a 3DS emulator that allows you to play 3DS ROMs on your PC. The most significant upgrade for this VR version is that you can get the same stereoscopic 3D effect you would have experienced on the original Nintendo hardware rather than being stuck with the basic 2D versions – which is what you have to contend with on the non-VR version of Citra.
