I am mistaken, 3ds emulation isn't here yet. But it's a heavily requested subject in the mod community. You can moonlight stream from a PC to a Wii u and I imagine you could get citra running that way with some finagling.

Do you think the Wii U would be powerful enough for native 3DS emulation? It's a lot to ask of the console but it would be pretty awesome.

Edit: Sorry for the late reply. I don't check Lemmy that consistently.

I won't claim to be an expert on system architecture. But as far as I understand, the Wii u is running much more demanding software than the 3ds. The difference is that the 3ds is an arm processor and the Wii u is a much older power PC architecture. For native playback, it would require some serious footwork to develop a compatibility layer. For emulation, it might take a savant. You'll see tons of shmoes that know no more than I do claiming it will never be possible but you can emulate new and snes on a Gameboy advance. That's saying even less about the quality or accuracy of Desai's emulation.

Your best bet is probably moonlight streaming citra from a laptop or something similar.
