Are you a die-hard Nintendo fan looking for ways to relive the nostalgic gaming experience of The Legend of Zelda or even some of your favorite Pokémon titles, such as Pokémon Sun and Moon, but happen to be using an Apple Mac computer? Worry no more! With Citra, one of the most advanced emulators available on the market today - specifically designed for running Nintendo 3DS games like these classics - you can easily enjoy them right from within macOS.

In this comprehensive tutorial, we will walk through each and every step required to get started with playing Pokémon Sun and Moon using nothing but Citra emulator. So without further ado, let's dive into the world of retro gaming!

### Downloading and Installing Citra

Before anything else though, you'll need to download and install Citr onto your Mac machine first.

1. Head over to 'Citra Official Website'(https://www.cemu.org/), select 'Download' at the top right corner.

2. Choose either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on whether your computer uses an Intel Core i5 processor (or higher) and has at least macOS High Sierra installed.

Once downloaded, double-clicking should open up a new window asking for permission to proceed with installation - click 'Continue'.

Follow the prompts until you reach a screen that asks where exactly do want to install Citra into. We recommend choosing your Applications folder by default (unless space is an issue), then click 'Install'.

### Extracting and Running Pokémon Sun and Moon ROMs

With everything set up, it's time now to extract our Pokémon Sun & Moon rom files from wherever they were downloaded onto your Mac.

1. Open Finder on macOS.

2. Double-click the .zip/.rar file containing your roms (you may need a third-party decompression software like WinRAR or 7-Zip if necessary).

3. Inside this newly created folder, look for 'citroms' - drag-and-drop both 'Pokémon Sun.nds' and/or any other games you want to play into here.

### Launching Citra Emulator

Now that we've got our rom files all sorted out, let's launch the actual emulator itself!

1. Open Applications on your Mac.

2. Double-click the Citra.app icon (it should look like a green circle with white letter 'C' inside).

3. When prompted for permission again by macOS to open citra-emu.exe (yes, even though we're running it on Windows), select 'Open anyway'.

### Setting Up Emulator Controls

The first time you launch Citpadroms via Citrachieve will prompt you through a brief setup process where you can configure your controller controls as desired. This includes mapping keys to various buttons such as A, B, Left Stick etc... Follow the on-screen instructions carefully and save your changes when finished.

### Playing Pokémon Sun and Moon with Citra Emulator

You're almost there! With all bases covered now, simply double-clicking either 'Pokémon Sun.nds' or whomever rom file you want to play should launch it within Citra's window. You can then control gameplay just like on a real Nintendo 3DS console.

###

And that's it! By following these simple steps outlined above, you'll be able to enjoy classic titles such as Pokémon Sun and Moon - along with many other Nintendo DS/3D games not originally released for macOS - straight from the comfort of your own Mac machine. So what are waiting for? Download Citra today and experience retro gaming like never before!
