About this game

Azahar is a free and open-source high level 3DS emulator. Our goal is to give 3DS owners a place to enjoy their library of titles with improvements to the original hardware, such as higher resolutions, modern controllers or save states. The emulator also serves as a research and preservation platform for the 3DS ecosystem.

The project continues the legacy of Citra and is actively developed by a community of contributors.

Azahar does not condone video game piracy and does not include pre-installed games. Please inform yourself about how to obtain legal private copies of your game library in accordance with local laws.

3DS emulation is a bit more difficult than I'd expected, so I'll have to set aside some time to do it- But that is absolutely no fault of this app, and it seems to have extremely handy info built in to help you get started. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend. When I get around to 3DS emulating, I know what I'm using.

idk what they did to this emulator but it runs terrible. Only tried it because ctgp requires this one now. All settings are exactly the same as the emulator this is a copy of yet performance is terrible. In Mario Kart 7 and ctgp which worked flawlessly before now stutters and has audio that lags by 2 seconds or more. I can go play MK7 on the other emulator and perfect performance. I even get better performance emulating Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on my phone than this. Make that make sense.

Hello, that is not normal, try to reset the emulator configuration and remove any custom drivers. Your device is more than capable of running games at full speed, so it's an issue with some configuration.

use to work. but now it won't even play my roms. it crashes and tells me that there's a bug and i have to wait until yall fix it and update. I've updated recently and still crashes. cleared thr cache and tried deep sleep mode. nothing. it's a real shame because I was nearly finished with a storyline of a game and looking forward to the extra ending
