_Citra_ can, ostensibly, "play" many different games, including _The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time_ and _Animal Crossing_. _Citra_ can, ostensibly, "play" many different games now and more will become playable as development progress further. Some games/apps, however, will not load at all – only showing a black screen. Others, might only show the title screen and then freeze or crash.
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. See our [Game Compatibility List](https://citra-emu.org/game/) for more info. You can also helps us improve the **Game Compatibility List** by doing testing and reviewing the game.
Note that many games also require certain files to be dumped from a 3DS console.

_Citra_ can run most games at full speed now thanks to the recent JIT compiler being merged into the official build. Certain parts of videos/cutscenes will still be slower due to JIT compilation not being feature complete yet. _Citra_ can run most games at full speed now thanks to the recent JIT compiler being merged into the official build.

Recent versions have a framerate limiter built-in. It can be toggled in the configuration, reachable through the Menu (citra-qt): "Emulation" > "Configure..." > "Graphics" > "Limit Framerate". You may also want to enable V-Sync in the same page if desired. Recent versions have a framerate limiter built-in.
