AzaharPlus is a free, open-source fork of the Azahar 3DS emulator, available for Android, Linux and Windows. The project says game files that work with any Citra fork also work with AzaharPlus. It can download system files from official servers without an actual 3DS and supports older CPUs that do not require SSE4.2. Features include built-in cheats, Amiibo generation and improved multiplayer compatibility with other Citra forks. ZipPass imports and exports StreetPass data in zip files to simulate StreetPass tags. On Android, users can choose a Replace flavor that replaces Azahar or a Coexist flavor that runs alongside it. Android requires version 9.0 or later in 64-bit form, with a Snapdragon 835 or better and 2 GB of RAM. Desktop minimums include 64-bit Windows 10 or modern 64-bit Linux, 2 GB of RAM, and OpenGL 4.3 or Vulkan 1.1. ZipPass is experimental, requires system files, enabled LLE modules and StreetPass enabled in games, and only works when no game is running. Imported data beyond a game's queue limit is ignored.
Who it is for
AzaharPlus suits people looking for a 3DS emulator fork on Android, Linux or Windows, including users who want built-in cheats or StreetPass data import and export. Android users need a 64-bit Android 9.0+ device meeting the stated hardware minimums.
