#### Can _Citra_ run _Pokémon_ games?
_Put Pokémon first because it is the most asked game..._
Yes, but they require a [[Home Folder dump|Home Folder]] and crashes are common.
#### Can _Citra_ run \<Insert retail game name here\>?
_Citra_ can, ostensibly, "play" many different games, including _The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time_ and _Animal Crossing_.
Many games, however, will not load at all – only showing a black screen. Many other games will only show the title screen and then freeze or crash.
Note that many games also require a [[Home Folder dump|Home Folder]].
You can expect many games to run slowly, though and to exhibit many gameplay and graphical glitches.

Unofficial builds are not supported. There may be other branches that are planned to be merged, but must go through vetting first to ensure they are good contributions to the project long term.
#### Where can I download games to use with _Citra_?
Short answer: You don't. Buy games and dump them with a _Nintendo 3DS_.

_Citra_ does not natively run dumps of games that have not been decrypted properly. This requires a physical 3DS and the game you owned.
