* That's awesome, contributions are welcome! Please start by forking the project, and then create a Pull Request when you're ready to submit your contribution. Once you've made some good contributions, we'll consider adding you as a collaborator. Please also review Coding Style. If you're not sure where to start, [[Roadmap]] is a good place to find ideas (or ask on IRC).

* Currently, no retail games/software will work on Citra, and that is not likely to change anytime soon. Check back in a few months/years.
* **I'd like to be a beta tester, how can I help?**
* Unfortunately, we're not really at the point yet where beta testers (who don't have any developer experience) would be useful to the project. Commercial games will not run, and the amount of homebrew available to test with is very limited at this time. However, if you're able to compile/tweak/test homebrew applications, we are very interested in new demos that exercise different 3DS features. If this is you, please share your results on IRC and/or create an Issue with a link to the homebrew application. #### I want to run Pokemon/Zelda/Mario/X/Y/Z, but I can't figure out how!
* **What operating systems are supported?**
* Citra is a cross-platform emulator and will run on Windows (Vista and up), Linux, and OS X. Ports to other Unix platforms should be somewhat trivial, but currently there are no active developers who are able to support them.

* **What are the hardware requirements?**
* There are no specific hardware requirements for Citra - any modern x86/x64 system should be fine. Currently, Citra only includes a rather slow pure interpreter CPU core, so performance will suffer regardless of your system power. Video output is currently framebuffer only (so most GPUs should be OK), but requires an OpenGL 3-capable video card.
* **I think what you guys are doing is awesome, I've read the above, am not a developer, but still want to support the project! What can I do?** #### I'd like to be a beta tester, how can I help?
* That's awesome! Such support is what motivates us to keep working :) Stick around and keep motivating our work! If you're interested in donating, there is not a way yet: However, we may consider a fund to pay server expenses once we feel like it's a good time to setup a website.
