Setup

Download the most recent version by visiting the Lime3DS Releases page. Installing the APK on your Android device:Releases: https://github.com/Lime3DS/Lime3DS

After installing the APK, launch Lime3DS.

Press "Get Started."

Permit notifications are to be sent. Permit the Android popup to appear. Press Next.

Permit the microphone. You can select "while using the app" from the Android popup. Press Next.

Permit the camera. You can select "while using the app" from the Android popup. Press Next.

Lime3DS will save your data in the User Folder, which we must now choose.

After selecting, you should be able to access your Internal Storage. At the top, choose Create New Folder, then give it the name Lime3DS. Then, at the bottom, choose Use This Folder. Then, all right. Press Next.

We must now inform Lime3DS of the location of our 3DS games. If you don't have any ROMs, refer to the video below.

Locate the folder containing your 3DS games by clicking Add Games. Press Next. Click Continue after that.

Settings

All of your games should now appear on the Lime3DS home screen, but let's make a few settings adjustments before we open and launch anything.

To access Options, click the three dots in the upper left corner. Next, select Settings.

Configure Controls

Go to Gamepad, then map your device's controls to the 3DS's on-screen inputs. When finished, back out a screen.

Configure Graphics

Go to Graphics now. You must test this on your end, but you should switch the Graphics API to Vulkan in most situations.

Next, turn on Enable asynchronous shader compilation in either OpenGLES or Vulkan.

The power of your gadget will determine the Internal Resolution. If your device has a respectable amount of power, consider upscaling. When finished, return to Options.

Installing updates/DLC

The Install CIA file can install updates and DLC files. The.CIA format is used for these. If you have any, you can install them here. Then, return to your home screen.

Removing on-screen touch controls

If you choose a game from the Home Screen, you'll boot into it. Now, let's dive right in.

The first thing you'll notice is that the screen has touch controls, which are unnecessary if you're using a handheld device.

If your handheld device has a back button, press it to access the in-game Lime3DS menu. Alternatively, swipe up and hit the back arrow to see the panel slide out from the left.

Uncheck Show Overlay under Overlay Options.

Show FPS

Go to Overlay Options from the in-game menu, then select Show FPS.

Change screen layout

Navigate to Landscape Screen Layout from the in-game menu, then select any other settings. From this option, you can also select Swap Screens.

Cheats

You may access the Cheats menu in Lime3DS by pressing and holding a game with your finger on the Home Screen or by selecting Cheats from the in-game menu.

Visit the following Github to locate cheats: https://github.com/JourneyOver/CTRPF-AR-CHEAT-CODES.

You should now see a complete list of games when you navigate to the Cheats folder at the top.

Locate the game for which you wish to add cheats, and confirm that the region and version correspond to the one you own.

A.TXT file containing a lengthy string of numbers should appear when you click inside the Game folder. When you click on that, a ton of cheats will appear.

Click the "Download raw file" option in the upper right corner to download that file.

Place the file in the Lime3DS's Cheats folder. If you follow this guide, it will be on your Internal Storage, Lime3DS, and Cheats.

Locate the game for which you inserted cheats in Lime3DS, then use your finger to push and hold it.

If you downloaded the correct file corresponding to your game's area and version, you can turn your cheats on or off in a list.

As an alternative, you can access the Lime3DS in-game menu while in the game, choose Cheats, and instantly enable or disable them.

60FPS

In Lime3DS, 60FPS cheats are enabled in the same manner as the previous cheats.

Visit this GBATemp post for 60FPS cheats https://gbatemp.net/threads/60-fps-patches-cheat-codes-releases-and-discussion.550527/.

Depending on the game version, codes will appear when you click on the game for which you wish to add 60FPS cheats.

Then, on Lime3DS, you should be able to add cheats by pressing and holding on to a game from the Home Screen with your finger. The Cheats menu and a Plus icon should appear in the lower right corner.

Give the code a name, such as 60FPS, and then enter or copy the 60FPS cheat code that corresponds to your game version in the Code box.

You can turn your 60FPS trick on or off after seeing it on the list.

As an alternative, you can access the Lime3DS in-game menu while in the game, choose Cheats, and instantly enable or disable it.

HD Texture Packs

There are a few procedures involved in installing HD Texture Packs in Lime3DS.

There isn't a comprehensive list of HD Texture Packs in one location, so you'll have to search for them individually for each game.

After that, launch Lime3DS, select Graphics under Options, scroll down, and turn on Custom Textures. It's also useful because it provides precise instructions on where to place those HD Texture Packs.

After that, launch any game and allow it to fill those directories for us. Start a game, then quit it.

You can now place your HD texture packs inside the Lime3DS, load, and textures folder. The TitleID of the game will determine which files you put here.

Example – Ocarina of Time 3D HD Texture Pack

As an example, I'll utilize the fantastic Ocarina of Time 3D 4K texture collection by Henriko Magnifico, which can be found here:Texture-packs: https://www.henrikomagnifico.comTo access the free postings, you must navigate through the Patreon; each post will provide a download link.

Depending on the desired resolution, the file you receive after downloading is either Zelda OoT 3D 4K 1.9.0c (1080p.zip) or Zelda OoT 3D 4K 1.9.0c (4K .zip. No matter whatever zip file you downloaded, extract it. If you downloaded this to your device, you can use Solid Explorer File Manager to extract and manage files.

Go inside the user folder now, then select load, textures, and the game that ends in 500 > 0004000000033500 if you're using the NTSC version.

You should copy that folder on your device and place it in the Internal Storage, Lime3DS, load, and textures folders.

Get your game on and take advantage of the fantastic HD textures!
