### Required files:
## Dumping the Home Folder
At this time, Citra can run many games without needing to do any special work on a physical 3DS. However, some games do require files dumped from a 3DS in order to function properly. These files are copyrighted and are not allowed to be shared, so don't ask for them on the forum. If you do not own a 3DS to dump the files from, you are out of luck.
This tutorial will teach you [how to dump the system archives and system font](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Home-Folder#how-to-dump-system-archives-nand00000000000000000000000000000000-folder-and-system-font-sysdatashared_fontbin), which are critical for some games, such as Pokemon, to work. It will also teach you how to [dump the config savegame](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Home-Folder#how-to-dump-the-config-savegame-nanddata00000000000000000000000000000000sysdata0001001700000000config), but that is much more difficult to do and is generally not required to play most titles except in certain special cases.
