Any word on a Citra replacement? I remember a while back I tried to look for an alternative just for compatibility for certain games and I couldn't find much. It seemed like Citra was the only good option for actually playing games. When you add in that the 3DS is no longer sold or supported, plus the hardware gimmicks that led to most games being exclusive to that platform, and also the sheer discomfort my adult hands experience trying to hold such a small device, I'd really much rather play those games on the Deck or with a controller.

The Switch is still young. It's Nintendo's active console so they're dedicating more security and legal resources to protecting it, but I'm sure that will be reduced after the Switch 2 launches. RyuJinx is still a solid option, and when you add these various forks I'm sure emulation will be in a good spot in time.
