  1. Follow the Citra Project’s instructions for dumping 3DS cartridges to your PC

  2. Connect Your Meta Quest to PC:

    1. Use a USB cable to connect your Meta Quest to your PC.

    2. If prompted, allow access to data on your Meta Quest.

  3. Create a new folder on Quest and transfer files:

    1. Option 1: Using File Browser

      1. Open File Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac.

      2. Navigate to the Quest device shown in the list.

      3. Inside, create a new folder and name it appropriately (e.g., 3DS Games).

      4. Locate the .3ds files on your PC.

      5. Copy and paste or drag and drop them into the new folder you created on the Quest.

    2. Option 2: Using ADB

      1. Open Command Prompt or Terminal where ADB is installed.

      2. Create New Folder:

        1. Type adb shell mkdir /sdcard/3DS Games (replace 3DS Games with your folder name).
      3. Transfer .3ds Files:

        1. For each file, use the command adb push local_path /sdcard/3DS 
    3. Disconnect Quest from PC: Once the installation is complete, disconnect the Quest from your PC.

Finally: when Citra launches, press the “Select Game Directory” icon in the upper right-hand corner
