@ -57,12 +57,12 @@ Short answer: You don't. Buy games and dump them with a _Nintendo 3DS_.
Long answer: Downloading commercial games is illegal and thus strongly frowned upon by the _Citra_ developers. To prevent legal issues, this includes gray areas like downloading games which you purchased earlier. You don't necessarily need to own a 3DS yourself, as you can buy game cartridges and dump them with a friend's console. On the other hand, copying a friend's game dump is considered illegal.

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

Games need to be decrypted on a 3DS before being usable in _Citra_. This is a technical limitation and it is unlikely that it can be removed in the foreseeable future. To decrypt your games, you will need to have a 3DS system running firmware 9.2 or lower and follow the [[Dumping Game Cartridges]] guide.
