[Master Yuki]

So, I wanted to download Citra to play some 3DS games one my pc, but for some reasons, it won't even open. I went to the home page and clicked "Get the Latest Nightly Build", and downloaded it. But it just won't open.

Click on it and download the zip file. Follow the instructions in the readme file (if it doesn't have one quote me)

This is actually harder than I thought. What in the world is a dll file?

In a nutshell, a DLL file is an extension to an EXE file (although it's a bit more than just that).

And I seriously don't think this is hard. Just simply copy the DLL file from the ZIP folder and paste it to C:/Windows/System32.

A dll is an extension for windows processes. In a way each one allows for a different lower level windows process to be accessed by multiple applications and processes, usually simultaneously.

Basiccly a ddl file is something you should not touch unless your told to, as the readme file seems to suggest. readme files are generally pretty useful, sometimes they contain FAQ as well.

Copy and paste what to what? I'm really sorry if I'm kind of hard, but I just really don't get these type of stuff. And where is system 32?

Ok I'll do this as best as I can.

First go into computer. to do that click the Windows icon. On the right side should be the computer shortcut.

You should now have a window listing you PC as well as your Network. Now click on your own pc, whatever you named it.don't double click do

Now click on the C: drive. That's where everything programs needs to run are located.

You should now have a window with a few folders available. You should see ,Users,temps, program files, blablabla, a bunch of folders.

Click on program files. Depending on what Windows version your running you might have a x32, x64 or x86 extension.

I run Windows 10 64 bits, so I click on programfilesx86

Then you should see a bunch of folders named after all your programs.

Now just copy and paste the ddl into the folder that's listed as your emulator. Make sure to raed the ReadMe file before doing that, the file might have some further instructions for you
