Azahar is an open-source 3DS emulator project based on Citra.

It was created from the merging of PabloMK7's Citra fork and the Lime3DS project, both of which emerged shortly after Citra was taken down.

The goal of this project is to be the de-facto platform for future development.

Installation

Windows

Download the latest release from Releases (https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/releases).

If you are unsure of whether you want to use MSYS2 or MSVC, use MSYS2.


MacOS

To download a build that will work on all Macs, you can download the macos-universal build on the Releases (https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/releases) page.

Alternatively, if you wish to download a build specifically for your Mac, you can choose either:

  • macos-arm64 for Apple Silicon Macs
  • macos-x86_64 for Intel Macs

Android

The recommended method of downloading Azahar on Android is via the Google Play store:

Alternatively, you can install the app using Obtainium:

  1. Download and install Obtainium from here (https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases) (use the file named app-release.apk)
  2. Open Obtainium and click 'Add App'
  3. Type https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar into the 'App Source URL' section
  4. Click 'Add'
  5. Click 'Install'

If you wish, you can also simply install the latest APK from the Releases (https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/releases) page.

Keep in mind that you will not recieve automatic updates when installing via the APK.


Linux

The recommended format for using Azahar on Linux is the Flatpak available on Flathub:

Azahar is also available as an AppImage on the Releases (https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/releases) page.

If you are unsure of which variant to use, we recommend using the default azahar.AppImage. This is because of upstream issues in the Wayland ecosystem which may cause problems when running the emulator (e.g. #1162 (https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/issues/1162)).

Unless you explicitly require native Wayland support (e.g. you are running a system with no Xwayland), the non-Wayland variant is recommended.

If you are using the Flatpak and run into issues with Wayland, you can disable Wayland support for the Azahar Flatpak using Flatseal (https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal).
