After two release candidates, here is the stable version 2123.2 of Azahar Emulator , the 3DS console emulator for Windows PC, MacOS, Linux and Android devices.

This new release is a minor update to the 2123.x series, but brings significant optimizations to the build process to ensure better support for modern platforms and increased overall stability.

Several issues have been fixed on Android, including a crash that prevented games from closing properly and caused the emulator to freeze when opening a new title, a crash caused by out-of-scale values ​​in the slider settings, and continued spam messages due Logcatto an BufferQueueabandoned game.

Also introduced is native support for devices with 16KB memory pages (starting with Android 15).

On macOS, Qt has been updated to version 6.9.2 and fixed compilation and GUI corruption issues with Xcode 26 , also introducing a check on the minimum Xcode version required for compilation.

On a general level, a bug has been fixed that prevented the emulator from correctly recreating the folder shaders/vulkanif manually removed, which led to crashes when writing to the cache.

Finally, on the technical front, CMake configuration errors that could occur when duplicate dependencies were present have been fixed, and the build system has been brought into line with the latest requirements.

To properly run the Azahar Emulator , you need to transfer some real data from a physical 3DS console. For this purpose , the Azahar Arctic Setup Tool was developed , a homebrew application for the 3DS that facilitates the installation of system files and console-specific data into the emulator.

The tool allows you to export and transmit the System Settings application and the NIM system module , which are required to perform a system update, as well as copy unique console data to enable online functionality.
