Overview

AzaharPlus is a free, open-source 3DS emulator fork for Android, Linux, and Windows. Its project says game files that work with any Citra fork also work here, and it can obtain system files from official servers without a physical 3DS. The software supports older CPUs that do not require SSE4.2, and includes cheats, Amiibo generation, and improved multiplayer compatibility with other Citra forks. ZipPass uses zip files to import and export StreetPass data for simulated tags. On Android, users can choose a Replace flavor that takes the place of Azahar or a Coexist flavor that runs alongside it. Android support starts at version 9.0, 64-bit; listed minimums also include 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 needs system files, enabled LLE modules, and StreetPass enabled in games, and is usable only when a game is not running. The project labels it experimental. Downloads are available through GitHub Releases.

Who it is for

AzaharPlus suits people looking for a 3DS emulator on Android, Linux, or Windows, including those whose CPUs lack SSE4.2. Android users can select an install flavor that replaces Azahar or runs beside it.
