Hello, i was wondering if Lime3DS is any good as an alternative to citra

i'm not sure if emulation talk would be fitting here so my apologies if it isn't but i just thought it would be fitting considering it does have some relation to piracy due to how ROMs are obtained, but anyway.. i did hear Lime3DS isn't an actively developed fork of Citra as of now since there's a new 3ds emulator being developed as a replacement for that but i was wondering if Lime3DS would still be good to use in the meantime while waiting for the new 3ds emulator to be finished

hope this isn't a dumb question, i was just curious will be looking forward to hear back!

(Addtional question: i was gonna use it on my linux machine since it has a linux release but could it perhaps work on the steam deck too?)

Why not try it and find out?

Yes, it is pretty much the same. All configs from citra can be used for lime3ds.

in my experience it runs fine on the deck but I run a bit of a weird setup where I'm running an emulated android OS on my Steamdeck so I play roms on it. it ran 3DS games perfectly fine.
