## Running games in Citra
#### Can Citra run Pokémon games?
Not at the moment. While you may have seen screenshots or videos of Citra running Pokemon games, these have been made with non-official builds. Pokemon games do not currently run with our [nightly releases](https://citra-emu.org/page/download).
#### Where can I download games to use with Citra?
Short answer: You don't. Buy games and dump them with a Nintendo 3DS.

If you're interested in 3DS emulation as an experiment, you may gain something out of trying Citra, but if you're simply looking to play games then stick to your 3DS handheld.

We're pleased to say that Citra works on all three major desktop OSs!
Citra is actively tested and supported on 64-bit versions of Windows (7 and up), Linux and OS X. Other platforms may work, but aren't tested by developers. In the far future, mobile platforms may be targeted as well. We have no plans to support 32-bit operating systems.

We have no plans to support 32-bit operating systems officially.
#### What kind of specs do I need to run Citra?
At this point, Citra is simply not fast enough to run most commercial games at full speed, even if your computer can run the most demanding of PC games just fine.
The only _hard_ requirements for Citra is a graphics chip that supports **at least OpenGL 3.3** and a **64-bit OS**, but you definitely want a processor with the highest possible performance per core.

#### When I try to start any game, Citra immediately crashes!

If you try some games and run into issues like graphical glitches, freezes and especially regressions from previous versions, you can try reporting them in our issue tracker, accompanied by logs from the emulator if possible. Do *not* report an issue if a game simply fails to boot entirely.
#### Non-official builds are faster and run more games. Why don't you work with the people who create those?
Most non-official builds are just a collection of different features currently being worked on by Citra contributors from the community.
These features are not part of the official version (yet) because they are either broken-by-design and would possibly hinder development soon or because they are still work in progress.
Also, each change will go through a review process. Features found in non-official versions are often in the review phase already and will be included in official versions about a month or two later.
If you are the author of a non-official build make sure you still follow the license of Citra.
#### I think what you guys are doing is awesome! I am not a developer, but still want to support the project. What can I do?
That's awesome! Such support is what motivates us to keep working! Stick around and keep motivating our work!
