The world of emulation is at a critical moment, given that Nintendo has launched a strong lawsuit against the creators of Yuzua program that is used to run video games switch on the computer with the use of ROMS. And although they have already reached a solution, including having to pay millions of dollars to the company in Japan, they have also affected the lost titles of 3DSsince the developers of the emulator of this discontinued laptop are basically the same.
According to the information that has come to light, the emulator known as Citra, which was founded in 2014, will no longer receive support as part of the ravages of demand, so there will no longer be updates to have improvements in the roms. And it draws a lot of attention that 3DS In all these years it has not managed to be 100% well emulated, since there are certain games that have had their problems running and now with this, there will be no definitive way for them to run with the Cia files.
This information was released through the official Discord of Yuzu, stating that both emulators will stop working. Here you can read it:

Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans, we are writing to you today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu's support for Citra will be discontinued effective immediately.
Yuzu and her team have always been against piracy. We began the projects in good faith, out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and we had no intention of causing harm. But now we see that because our projects can bypass Nintendo's technological protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they have led to widespread piracy. In particular, we were deeply disappointed when users used our software to leak game content before its release and ruin the experience for legitimate buyers and fans.
We have come to the decision that we cannot continue to allow this to happen. Piracy was never our intention and we believe that piracy of video games and video game consoles should end. Starting today, we will be taking our code repositories offline, discontinuing our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and soon shutting down our websites. We hope that our actions are a small step towards ending piracy of the works of all creators.
Thank you for your years of support and for understanding our decision.
It is worth mentioning that the company Tropical Haze managed both parts, but the problem they had was when they began to receive monetization from Patreonand that's when Nintendo acted because many sales were lost when launching The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in advance in the form of a ROM. However, in 3DS there is still salvation, since there are still console emulators, which do not ask for support on platforms of this type.

Editor's note: It is a step that was seen coming, and the bad thing is that they are going to lose classic 3DS games, but the problem is that they have started to monetize the project, in addition to launching the ROMS days in advance of certain releases, that includes two games that filled your patience, Metroid Dread and TLOZ: Tears of The Kingdom.
