A 3DS software emulator
Azahar APK is the resulting app of the merger of Citra (whose logo was an orange) and Lime3DS (represented by a lime). This 3DS software emulator lets you play on your Android device as if it were a Nintendo console.
We can configure different aspects to have a kind of customized digitized version of the popular console:
- General (emulation speed limit).
- System (profile, clock, 3GX plug-in loader, and other options).
- External and internal camera.
- Front and rear button controls, circular pad, C lever, shortcut keys, among others.
- Graphics (renderer, stereoscopy, cardboard VR, and utilities).
- Screen style, as well as its orientation and proportion.
- Audio (input, output, volume, etc).
- Debugging.
Connect the emulator to your real Nintendo console via Artic Base
Thanks to its open-source nature, the Azahar Android app has incorporated many improvements and bug fixes compared to previous projects like Citra and Lime3DS. One of the new features is the ability to connect the application with our real Nintendo console.
You can do this by entering the address of the Artic Base server. Thanks to this, you can download the games you've already purchased. However, the system requires the files from an original console to run encrypted ROMs.
Nevertheless, it is also possible to download other games that have already been decrypted. In any case, they should have the extension .cci instead of .3ds, something we can change ourselves. Another relevant change is the option to disable the 3D mode in games that do not need it to obtain a performance improvement of up to 50% in some cases.
Once you have your games in the app, a search engine with three filters makes it easy to locate all installed, recently added, and recently played games.
In short, when you download Azahar for free, you get the definitive solution to enjoy the legendary Nintendo console in digital format, with amazing performance. If you need more information, check this app's Discord, GitHub, and official website.
